Growing PainsLudacris
A track from American rapper Ludacris’s 2001 album Word of Mouf, featuring guests Fate Wilson and Keon Bryce.
It became his best-selling album, but narrowly lost to Eminem at the Grammy Awards.
Don’t Call Me UpMabel
Mabel, a British singer-songwriter.
Her soulful vocals and bold, hard-hitting tracks make “Don’t Call Me Up” an incredibly cool song.
As the catchy melody and the title suggest, it’s a track especially for women—one that gives you the power to live boldly.
The lyrics portray the mindset of a truly confident, empowered woman, so I highly recommend enjoying not just the music but also the message in the words.

Maroon 5, the American band that captivates the world with its urban vibe and refined melodies.
“Beautiful Mistakes,” included on their long-awaited seventh studio album Jordi, released on March 3, 2021, drew attention for featuring the popular American singer-songwriter Megan Thee Stallion.
With its bouncy, striking rhythm, it’s the perfect sound to lift your spirits in early summer—no doubt about it!
Girls Like YouMaroon 5 Featuring Cardi B
A collaborative track released by Maroon 5 and Cardi B in 2018.
The song, built around an acoustic guitar riff, unfolds smoothly and is easy on the ears.
In the music video, the camera rotates as various people appear one after another from silhouetted figures.
It’s engaging to watch, not only featuring vocalist Adam and Cardi B, but also showcasing famous figures from diverse fields such as politicians and comedians.
Summer Days (feat. Macklemore & Patrick Stump)Martin Garrix
The sound, which brilliantly fuses electro-funk anchored by a bold bass line with contemporary dance-pop, hints at the arrival of a hot summer.
It’s a track by rising Dutch DJ and producer Martin Garrix, featuring popular rapper Macklemore and Fall Out Boy’s vocalist Patrick Stump—a hit from 2019.
Macklemore’s cool rap and Patrick’s soulful, outstanding vocals are truly impressive, and blasting this song at high volume will perfectly set the tone for peak summer vibes!
