You Know, You KnowMahavishnu Orchestra

Mahavishnu Orchestra – You Know You Know (1971)

This is a 1971 track by the American jazz fusion rock band Mahavishnu Orchestra.

It has a familiar, catchy quality that makes you think, “I’ve heard this somewhere!” while still being a very stylish piece.

The band was known for its advanced ensemble techniques and for using a wide variety of instruments.

It’s perfect as background music, and I really like this song—be sure to check out their other tracks too!

HeroMariah Carey

Mariah Carey – Hero (Official HD Video)

It’s Mariah Carey’s masterpiece among masterpieces, “Hero.” Mariah’s overwhelming vocal ability is beyond words, but more than anything, the lyrics of this song are extraordinary.

The final lines—“God knows it’s hard to follow your dreams.

But don’t let anyone hold you back; hold on tight.

Because there’s always a tomorrow.

In time, you’ll surely find the path you’re meant to take”—are something I want people to hear: those who are chasing their dreams, those who have set them aside and chosen a different path, and all the people doing their best to live life in their own way wherever they are.

All About That BassMeghan Trainor

Meghan Trainor – All About That Bass (Official Video)

This is Meghan Trainor, who burst onto the scene in 2016 and won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist that year.

She brought something new to the American music industry—especially as a female singer, she had a compelling presence that felt refreshing and different.

That said, she was only 20 years old at the time.

When you thought of American female singers, many tended to be glamorous, radiant, and had outstanding vocal ability, but didn’t feel very relatable.

She turned her own curvy figure into a positive, embracing it as a charm point.

And of course, her singing ability is exceptional.

She felt relatable and resonated with many women.

Miley Cyrus – Party In The U.S.A. (Official Video)

This is a hit song by Miley Cyrus, who got her start on Disney Channel.

She’s now fully a grown woman; for a while she was a headline-grabbing celebrity with wild behavior, far removed from her once-cute image, but lately she seems to have settled down.

Among the tracks Miley has released, this one is a hit party song that radiates a cheerful, L.A.-style celebrity vibe, and it’s highly recommended as background music.

My Love Mine All MineMitski

Mitski is a Japanese American singer-songwriter known for her distinctive musical style and highly message-driven lyrics.

“My Love Mine All Mine” is included on her seventh album, “The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We,” and has appeared on charts such as the US Billboard Hot 100.

The song explores the theme of what one wants to protect for a lifetime, and on TikTok it’s often used as background music for videos capturing everyday moments with loved ones and family.

Its melody is incredibly heartwarming, so be sure to give it a try!

Mogwai Fear SatanMogwai

Mogwai Fear Satan

This is a track from Mogwai’s first album, Mogwai Young Team.

It’s a very long piece at 16 minutes, but I highly recommend listening all the way through! It begins with a pleasant guitar loop; just when it seems to quiet down, heavy guitars come in.

By the end, you’re left with a deep sense of satisfaction from having experienced the whole track.

“To Be With You,” the biggest hit by the American hard rock band Mr.

Big, showcases Eric Martin’s clear, soaring high range and cool, husky vocals, along with the virtuoso skills of Paul Gilbert, Billy Sheehan, and Pat Torpey.

With all four members being highly skilled musicians, the song’s overall craftsmanship is outstanding.
