Where Is The Love?The Black Eyed Peas
The Black Eyed Peas usually have a lot of thrilling, upbeat, and cool tracks, but this song talks about love and is something you can listen to calmly.
The title, “Where Is the Love?”, perfectly captures how you feel after a breakup, and there’s no doubt you’ll relate to it.
YellowColdplay
All of Coldplay’s songs are gentle and calming, and Yellow, by far, is a song that truly touches the heart.
The guitar sound, the tone of the vocals—everything slips right into your mind, making it a very relaxing song.
It helps mend a broken heart.
ChocolateThe 1975
A very refreshing and utterly cute song—from the title to everything about it.
Over a 70s-inspired sound, crisp modern touches like sharp guitar tones and synthesizers are mixed in, making it a track that’s sure to perk you up.
Happy songBring Me The Horizon
Listen to this when you’re consumed with hatred for the person who dumped you—so much that you could almost kill them.
Contrary to its title, “Happy Song,” it’s an intensely cathartic track that’s great for relieving stress.
Belt it out at karaoke and you’ll stop caring about the guy who dumped you.
MapsMaroon 5
Maroon 5’s signature clear, translucent vocals and the refreshingly breezy sound that evokes a Sunday afternoon will cleanse any murky negative feelings the moment you listen.
This track is thrilling yet poppy, and I highly recommend it.
It’ll put you in a positive mood.
