Stuck with UAriana Grande & Justin Bieber
The music video features their fans from around the world.
It’s a collaboration between two heavyweights, Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, and the footage stitches together dance videos that have surged in popularity since the pandemic.
The two vocalists also recorded their parts from home, creating a single work together with their fans.
The lyrics are very much like a “call” that reflects the current state of the world.
A Japanese translation of the lyrics is available on YouTube, so please check it out.
ABC feat. Sophia BlackPolyphia
Polyphia, a four-piece from Texas, are arguably the most talked-about instrumental band right now.
With their exceptional musicianship, they deliver sleek progressive metal, and thanks to collaborations with BABYMETAL and frequent tours to Japan, they’ve become hugely popular there.
Their fourth album, Remember That You Will Die, released in 2022, is an ambitious work that transcends genre with masterful band interplay and a diverse lineup of guest artists.
It earned high praise, reaching No.
33 on the U.S.
charts—the highest in their career.
The track we’re highlighting today is ABC, a new frontier for Polyphia.
Featuring the charming, contemporary R&B–pop vocal performance of rising singer Sophia Black—who has American and Japanese heritage—paired with Polyphia’s technical yet meticulously melody-forward ensemble, it’s an irresistibly catchy banger that will have you dancing in no time.
Another highlight is the lyrics, which playfully weave Japanese and English together—befitting Sophia’s trilingual flair.
SuckerpunchAll Time Low
Hailing from Maryland, the pop-punk band All Time Low—leaders of the scene since their formation in 2003—unleashed a truly exhilarating release in June 2025.
Co-produced by frontman Alex Gaskarth, the track channels a tough, resilient spirit—like climbing back into the ring after being knocked down—set to a powerful arena-rock sound.
It stands as an anthem that inspires courage in its listeners.
Following their 2023 album, Tell Me I’m Alive, this new number signals a fresh chapter for the band.
It’s the perfect song for boosting your mood or getting that extra push when you’re facing a challenge.
HigherIShowSpeed
Ameerican-born IShowSpeed, who has expanded from the internet world into the music scene and garnered attention, has cemented his popularity with his emotionally charged streaming style on YouTube, and began pursuing music in earnest in 2021.
In 2022, the music video for his single “World Cup” surpassed 167 million views, showcasing his blossoming talent in music as well.
His track “Higher,” released in June 2025, is an up-tempo hip-hop number that lifts the listener’s spirits.
Centered on themes of positive feelings in love and an ever-upward ambition, the song powerfully encourages its listeners.
While it continues the sonic exploration from his previous EP “Trip 2 Brazil,” it also embraces a more pop-leaning appeal.
It’s a perfect piece for moments when you’re starting something new or need an energetic boost.
The Contracttwenty one pilots
Twenty One Pilots, a duo from Ohio, USA, deftly fuse a wide range of musical genres.
Their work released in June 2025 boasts an experimental sound that boldly incorporates elements of electropop, hip-hop, and even nu metal, resulting in a truly captivating finish.
The lyrics portray inner conflict and anxiety, as well as a sense of constraint brought on by a “contract,” weaving a narrative that invites listeners into deep introspection.
This track is a lead single from the album “Breach,” released in September 2025, marking a crucial chapter in a long-running storyline.
It’s also intriguing that the music video was filmed right after their performance in May 2025.
It’s a song I’d recommend not only to fans of the grand narrative, but also to those seeking a stimulating sonic experience.
