Not Like That AnymoreLola Young
When it comes to artists who stand by you in the moment you want to change yourself, isn’t Laura Young from London the first to come to mind? Her unvarnished words are sure to pierce the heart of any lonely exam-taker.
Declaring a break with her past self and pushing powerfully forward, this track is an anthem of breaking through the status quo.
Released in June 2025, it drew attention as the lead single from the album “I’m Only F**king Myself.” It was reportedly written on the very day she cut off her bad habits in New York, and that urgent resolve radiates through the sound.
Give it a listen when your studies aren’t yielding the results you hoped for and you’ve hit a slump.
It’s a song that will fire you up to say, “I’m not who I used to be,” and propel you toward success.
RunawayAvril Lavigne
It’s a catchy, up-tempo song from Avril’s album “The Best Damn Thing.” It features Avril’s clear, powerful vocals and a bright sound, with an easy-to-remember melody.
The lyrics are positive, making it a perfect track to listen to when you need a boost.
Lean On (feat. MØ)Major Lazer & DJ Snake
This is a song co-produced by the super unit Major Lazer and DJ Snake.
The vocals are by MØ, a singer-songwriter from Denmark.
As you’d expect from a collaboration between such talented artists, the EDM vibe in the chorus is incredibly danceable—I end up looping it and listening to it over and over! In the music video, all three artists appear, and their dancing in sync with the track leaves a strong impression.
CirclesPost Malone
Post Malone’s slow-tempo track “Circles.” The title “Circles” is highly literary and carries a thought-provoking depth.
The song itself is dramatic, with a calm, subdued opening contrasted by a soaring, sung-out chorus.
I hope you’ll listen closely to the lyrics and savor the depth of this piece.
Then try to find your own answer to it!
Keeping Your Head UpBirdy
This song by Birdy, a British female singer who isn’t very well known in Japan, is characterized by her unique, crystal-clear high voice.
The chorus draws you into her soaring vocals, and the lyrics are deeply encouraging.
It feels like a song that shares the strength to overcome difficult times.
Big Girls Don’t Cry (Personal)Fergie
It’s a song empowered by Fergie’s bold, soaring vocals, familiar from the Black Eyed Peas.
Many listeners will likely relate to the theme of leaving a lover and walking alone in order to be true to yourself where you belong.
It’s a track that feels like it will give you a push when you want to trust your choices and move forward.
Love Me MoreSam Smith
When you feel like your heart is about to break, I recommend Sam Smith’s “Love Me More.” This song’s lyrics deeply resonate with those whose self-esteem has been shaken by failure.
For anyone feeling down or troubled, its message will surely strike a chord and lift your spirits.
Sam Smith’s high-tone vocals are another highlight, carrying an irresistibly captivating charm.
When setbacks make it hard to move forward, his energetic singing will surely give you a gentle push.
