A superb, soul-infused pop gem from Jason Mraz in 2020.

On this track he teams up with actress Tiffany Haddish, and it’s a smooth, feel-good listen from start to finish.

Carrying a bright message—“As long as you’re not hurting anyone, live your life your way and do what you love!”—the song wraps you in a floaty, cloud-walking kind of comfort.

The music video’s laid-back vibe, with its whimsical animation, is great too.

Alesso, the Swedish artist known for his handsome features, has a well-earned reputation for crafting beautiful melodies, including so-called “tear-jerker” hooks.

This sing-along hit, featuring Liam Payne of the globally popular British group One Direction as the lead vocalist, is an instant mood booster.

It feels like a hit born from the perfect match of their strengths.

The main hook carries a beautiful melody that subtly recalls R3hab and Afrojack’s classic “Ten Feet Tall.” If you like that, be sure to check out this massive hit as well.
