The track of the same name by Emma Hoisters and Markus Cole was inspired by Shawn’s track.

It’s a collaboration between The Chainsmokers and Halsey, released in 2016.
It was inspired by The Fray’s 2005 track “Over My Head (Cable Car).”
BoomboxLaura Marano
This is a 2016 release by American singer Laura Marano.
It’s a refreshing dance-pop song, and the hilarious music video where everyone ends up dancing is a must-see.
With a sexy voice and a cute appearance, Laura is a singer you should keep an eye on.
Locked Out Of HeavenBruno Mars
This is a 2012 release by Bruno Mars.
Its catchy sound and Bruno’s lively vocals are captivating, making it a great recommendation for both guys and girls.
It’s sure to amp up the atmosphere when used at events like school sports festivals.
FifteenTaylor Swift
It’s a song by Taylor Swift released in 2009.
As the title suggests, she sings about being fifteen, but the content fits perfectly for high schoolers in general.
The teenage years are full of experiences, mistakes, and worries, but this song reminds us that all of that is a page in our youth.
We’ll Be the StarsSabrina Carpenter
It’s a track from Sabrina Carpenter’s 2015 album “Eyes Wide Open.” Its gentle sound and the beautiful chorus in the hook are striking, and it makes you want to lie down in a field under a blue, music-video-like sky and listen.
I also recommend the lyrics, which I especially hope younger listeners will take the time to absorb.
