Have you ever made a vow to change something at the start of a new week? There’s a track on Canadian singer-songwriter Melanie Fiona’s debut album, The Bridge, that you’ll want to play on a morning filled with that very resolve.
Despite its breezy, retro sound, the song tells of drawing a line under a romantic relationship and finding the strength to take a new step forward.
The lyrics, which recast Monday mornings—so often tinged with gloom—as a symbol of liberation, pair perfectly with her soulful vocals.
Widely embraced in Europe, the song even reached number one on the Swiss charts in October 2009.
If you’re ready to cut ties and become a new version of yourself, this might be the song that gives you the push you need.

It’s included on their signature album, Different Class, released in October 1995.
This classic is also known for winning the Mercury Prize in 1996.
The track doesn’t just gloomily depict the transition back to dull everyday life; it’s said to also embrace the theme of “growing up,” breaking free from weekend habits.
The late Steve Mackey’s dynamic bassline and the dizzying shifts in the song’s mood perfectly match the protagonist’s complex state of mind.
It’s the kind of number you want to hear on a twisted Monday morning when a run-of-the-mill pep song just won’t cut it.
