Something I NeedBen Haenow
This song, sung from a male perspective to a woman—telling her, “If we only live once, I want to live it with you.
You have what I need”—is something I think women will find heart-fluttering for its straightforward lyrics, especially when you’re facing a hellish week or when things aren’t going well.
The chorus being sung like a hook gives it a very powerful feel.
Even when you can’t be positive, it makes you realize there’s someone who can save you, and I think it helps anyone, regardless of gender, switch their mindset.

We’re young, we’re wild, and the world is ours,” is filled with lyrics that especially make girls’ hearts flutter and, I think, help them feel more positive.
