MotherMeghan Trainor
Meghan Trainor is a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her unique style that adapts doo-wop—a genre that trended in the 1950s—to modern music.
Her songs are extremely popular on TikTok as well, so many of you may already know her.
Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is ‘Mother.’ Its catchy, cute, and nostalgic melody is sure to become addictive.

Work B**chBritney Spears
When it comes to Britney Spears, many of her songs are quite provocative, and this one is no exception.
Still, perhaps thanks to her beautiful and delicate vocals, it’s curious how it doesn’t come across as extreme despite the lyrics.
The fact that she has remained just as beautiful since her debut might be another reason people find her so captivating.
Western music that gets you pumped. Recommended up-tempo tracks (111–120).
SouthboundCarrie Underwood
In 2019, with country music trending across various scenes, there’s been a return to classic rock sounds.
That said, Carrie Underwood is essentially an idol-like figure over there.
Since she started out as a country singer-songwriter when she debuted, should we see this as a return to her roots? It’s upbeat and feels like it could give you energy! How about listening to it as background music while taking a walk outside when you’re feeling a bit down? I think it’ll help refresh your mood.
