Waiting For The Phone CallThe Twilight Sad
The Twilight Sad, a post-punk band from Scotland.
Their new single in October 2025 marks their first release in about seven years since they began in 2003.
Robert Smith of The Cure contributes guitar on the track, making this a notable work born from the two acts’ long-standing relationship.
Centered on themes of loss and grief, it portrays the feeling of waiting for a life-changing phone call.
Frontman James Graham says that the seven-year creation process itself became an emotional anchor.
With walls of roaring guitars intersecting with icy synths, the sound reflects their evolution since the 2019 album It Won/t Be Like This All the Time.
Kicking off with this release, they’re planning a European tour in 2026, and all eyes are on the band as they gear up for another major chapter.
Who’s Dat GirlAyra Starr, Rema
A long-awaited collaborative track by two of Nigeria’s leading musical talents, Ayra Starr and Rema, was released in October 2025.
Rooted in Afrobeats while incorporating R&B, dancehall, and even Middle Eastern soundscapes, the song represents the next generation of Afropop.
The meticulous production by LAGI and The Elements shines through, and the lyrics—brimming with self-assured presence—captivate listeners instantly.
It’s the perfect track to boost your energy at parties, on drives, or whenever you want to turn things up!
Welcome To The Working WeekElvis Costello
This song opens Elvis Costello’s landmark debut album, My Aim Is True, released in 1977 after he emerged from the late-’70s pub rock scene.
At the time, Costello was juggling office work alongside his music career, and he wrote it with a worker’s-eye sarcasm aimed at those in privileged positions.
In just 1 minute and 22 seconds, it fuses punk edge with a pop chorus to sharply capture the reality of being thrown into the “world of work.” The rough performance lends a sense of spontaneity, resulting in a track that resonates with people hustling through their day jobs.
Put it on every Monday morning, right as the workweek begins, and its sardonic empathy will give you a bracing push forward.
Work SongHozier
I want to crawl back home to the one I love—even if I have to drag my exhausted body—this song is like a prayer that longs only to return to a beloved.
Featured on Irish artist Hozier’s 2014 debut album “Hozier,” the track blends elements of blues, soul, and gospel, with church-like handclaps and a resonant, throaty vocal performance.
Released as a single in March 2015, it received high acclaim, including triple-platinum certification in the United States.
The lyrics, which claim that not even the grave can hold the body, draw from traditional gospel influences, delivering a moving message of salvation: that love transcends death amid burnout and loss born of labor.
It’s a song that will resonate especially with those worn out from work and sustained by the presence of someone precious.
Workin’ For A Livin’Huey Lewis & The News
Included on the 1982 album Picture This, this track is a rock number that portrays working people in a realistic light.
Listing a range of jobs—from busboys and bartenders to mechanics—it powerfully sings of the everyday life of workers who are “just working to get by.” Written by Huey Lewis based on his own experience as a truck driver, the band’s sound—featuring memorable harmonica and organ—gives a pop sheen to the gloom and resignation felt by those who toil.
It was also used in the 1988 film Big and continues to be beloved as an anthem that resonates with everyone facing the grind of daily work.
Won’t OverdoseLil Xan
Lil Xan, who emerged from the SoundCloud scene and became known as a torchbearer of emo rap, takes his stage name from the anti-anxiety drug Xanax and has candidly expressed his own experiences with substance dependency.
In this track, released in September 2024, he parts ways with that past, declaring a firm resolve to “never overdose again.” It’s a highly message-driven work aimed at a generation seeking recovery from addiction, featuring introspective lyrics laid over a dark trap beat.
Teaming up with producer Kinfolk Jon, they’ve crafted an airy, floating sound.
It’s a song that will likely resonate deeply with middle schoolers buffeted by today’s ailing society and the age of social media, as well as with anyone grappling with loneliness or a sense of emptiness.
Working Man BluesMerle Haggard
A master of the Bakersfield Sound, Merle Haggard released a gem of a country number in 1969—an anthem to working people that sharply sings of blue-collar pride and reality.
Riding on biting electric guitar riffs and a tight rhythm, it portrays a man who keeps working to support his wife and nine children.
The song topped the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart, becoming Haggard’s seventh No.
1.
From the striking chicken-picking intro by James Burton to its concise 2 minutes and 33 seconds, the track brilliantly distills both the dignity and exhaustion of working folks.
Included on the album “A Portrait of Merle Haggard,” it remains widely cherished as a “theme song for working people.”
