Hey Mama (ft Nicki Minaj, Bebe Rexha & Afrojack)David Guetta

He’s so in-demand in pop music through his collaborations with top artists that many music fans may no longer even file him strictly under house or EDM.

8 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Give it a listen and experience the exciting sound that will get your body moving naturally.
Hey There (ft. Future)Dej Loaf
The singer from the state of Detroit, Dej Loaf.
Strictly speaking, she’s closer to a rapper, but since she often handles the hook vocals, I’m calling her a singer here for convenience.
The track where she collaborates with hip-hop heavyweight Future is “Hey There (ft.
Future).” The track and vocal lines are very mellow and romantic, but the lyrics are pretty explicit, so if you’re interested, be sure to check out the Japanese translation as well.
Hey JudeThe Beatles
While the Beatles’ musical contributions are immeasurable, the song released in 1968 can be considered one of their signature works.
Written by Paul McCartney, it is said to have been created to encourage John Lennon’s son.
Its warm lyrics and melody seem to offer solace and words of encouragement to listeners.
Despite running over seven minutes, its structure remains engaging to the very end.
Released in August 1968, the song is also known as the first release on the Beatles’ own label, Apple Records.
It is a track that stands as a true prescription for the heart, offering comfort to those burdened with worries and anxiety.
Hey, Soul SisterTrain
The American pop rock band Train released a song in 2009 that is truly a masterpiece about the bond between souls.
Featuring a lively ukulele riff and an unforgettable, catchy chorus, it captured the hearts of many listeners.
The lyrics express surprise and gratitude for meeting a partner with whom one is deeply connected on a soul level.
The track became the best-selling song on the iTunes Store in 2010 and the second best-selling track of the year in the United States.
It’s the perfect song when you want to feel positive or appreciate the bond with someone special.
Hey Boy Hey GirlThe Chemical Brothers

If you’re even slightly interested in techno, you’ve probably heard of them.
They’re famous for their sophisticated compositions that incorporate various genres such as big beat and trip hop.
One of their classic tracks is “Hey Boy Hey Girl.” Its highly immersive structure makes it perfect as background music while studying.
Be sure to give it a listen.
