Hey guys!
It’s almost 2 months after Boris Johnson’s announcement, and the UK is still under lockdown (although that might change after this evening – but let’s hope he makes the right decision!). One thing I’ve enjoyed about not having more free time is being able to listen to and discover more music. Websites and apps like YouTube, Spotify, Twitter, TikTok and Apple Music have been my main source of finding new artists during the last 7 weeks, and I’m honestly so grateful for their existence!
To keep positive during lockdown, I’ve been trying to listen to more upbeat songs. The most notable of these are ‘I’m Ready’ (Sam Smith and Demi Lovato), ‘React’ (The Pussycat Dolls), ‘Say So’ (Doja Cat), ‘Lose Control’ (Meduza, Becky Hill & Goodboys), ‘Boyfriend’ (Selena Gomez), ‘Supalonely’ (BENEE & Gus Dapperton), ‘Don’t Start Now’ (Dua Lipa) and ‘Savage’ (Megan Thee Stallion): I’m sure you’re familiar with the majority of these as they became popular through TikTok – maybe you’ve even tried some of the dances to these tunes yourself! Other upbeat songs I’ve had on repeat include ‘I Love Me’ (Demi Lovato), ‘Lento’ (Lauren Jauregui), ‘I Love You’s’ (Hailee Steinfeld) and ‘No Good’ (Ally Brooke). These songs are so catchy and whenever I listen to them I want to get up and dance!
If you’re finding lockdown tough (and I don’t blame you), stick on my playlist (which I’ve embedded below) while you’re doing housework, studying, exercising or just chilling, and I guarantee that you’ll be in a better mood! Read on to find out my current favourite songs!

What a great playlist!! Gonna have a listen, Thankyou for sharing🤍
I love a good playlist to keep the mood positive. I’m not very up to date on recent chart songs so there’s only one song on your list that I recognise by name (maybe I’ve heard more of them than I realise but can’t match names to tunes).
I have been on the hunt for some new music, so thanks for sharing! I’ve not heard of all of these songs, so I’ll be sure to check your playlist out xx

I love this list, there has not been a single day where music has not been my saving grace.
I love listening to music while I work, it’s not something I can do very often in the office x
I love Lisa Cimorelli! I haven’t heard this song though but her other stuff is great so I’ll definitely have to listen to this one too!
Glad you love Lisa Cimorelli, she’s so underrated!
Definitely some good choices there 😍 I feel like music has been so good this summer and so many of them have got me through too!
Great taste hun!
