Thank God I DoLauren Daigle

Lauren Daigle is a two-time Grammy-winning artist.
Her song “Thank God I Do” is included on her self-titled album, Lauren Daigle.
It’s said that she wrote this piece after feeling a renewed appreciation for her friends during the COVID-19 lockdown, when she stayed connected with them over Zoom and other platforms.
Since we humans can only truly feel happiness through our connections with others, the lyrics of this song are likely to resonate with anyone.
A Good, Good Day At LastOK Go

A powerful new song that captures the moment when long darkness finally gives way to the long-awaited light has arrived from OK Go, the Chicago-based band.
Its poetic lyrics, where light and shadow intersect, and the warm melodies born from collaborations with stellar artists like Ben Harper and Shalaya Fearing, resonate deeply.
Released in February 2025 as the lead single from the album “And the Adjacent Possible,” this track marks a long-awaited return—OK Go’s first new work in about a decade.
Brimming with positivity and hope, the song carries a quiet strength that gently supports those striving to overcome difficult times.
True to OK Go’s reputation for unforgettable music videos, the lyric video directed by Adam G is also a must-see.
Viva La VidaColdplay

This song is characterized by its grandiose, majestic sound.
Released by the British rock band Coldplay in May 2008, it unfolds an epic narrative woven with historical and religious metaphors.
The lyrics, portraying the inner turmoil and self-reflection of a ruler falling from past glory, offer deep insights that reconsider the transience of life and the impermanence of power.
Featured in Apple’s iPod TV commercial, the song captured global attention.
At the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in 2009, it won Song of the Year, cementing its place as one of Coldplay’s signature tracks.
It’s a moving piece that resonates when you’re facing setbacks or loneliness, or when you’re about to take a new step forward.
RoarKaty Perry

This song powerfully conveys the inner transformation of reclaiming one’s voice and discovering inner strength.
Released in August 2013 by American artist Katy Perry as the lead single from her album “Prism,” it became a global hit.
Alongside its powerful melody, it portrays the growth of a protagonist who once suppressed her true self out of concern for others’ opinions, gradually learning to assert her views with confidence.
Since its 2013 release, it has been featured at various sporting events, including the NFL and the US Open in tennis, and has continued to inspire many as an empowerment anthem.
When you want to move forward after a painful experience or need the courage to believe in your potential, this song will be a steadfast ally.

Released in August 2024, the acoustic sound centered on piano and guitar resonates deeply with the heart.
It was also chosen as the theme song for the film “Eternal Love” and featured in an Apple commercial.
The song has sparked a huge global reaction, including an eight-week run at No.
