My April Playlist!

I can't believe April is over!  It flew by me SO fast!!!  Nothing too exciting happened this month.  I didn't blog much because I didn't feel inspired.  I took some time to reflect on what I wanted to talk/write about.  I figured it out so be expecting great posts soon!  I discovered lots of new music as well.  Don't worry I have some old hits too.  I'm formatting these posts differently now.  Instead of saying why I like the song, I'm just going to put my favorite lyric from each one.  I love lyrics so I think I'll like it better.  Make sure you check out March's Playlist because I'm still loving it.  What are you listening to?

2. No by Meghan Trainor
Favorite lyric: All my ladies, listen up If that boy ain't giving up Lick your lips and swing your hips Girl all you gotta say is My name is no My sign is no My number is no You need to let it go You need to let it go Need to let it go Nah to the ah to the no, no, no

Favorite lyric: Won't you stay 'til the A.M.? All my favorite conversations Always made in the A.M. Cause we don't know what we're saying We're just swimming round in our glasses And talking out of our asses Like we're all gonna make it (yeah, yeah)

Am I in love with you? Or am I in love with the feeling?

7. Don't Let Me Down by The Chainsmokers feat. Daya

Favorite lyric: Just like fire, burning out the way If I can light the world up for just one day Watch this madness, colorful charade No one can be just like me any way Just like magic, I'll be flying free
I'mma disappear when they come for me I kick that ceiling, what you gonna say? No one can be just like me any way Just like fire, uh

9. Rock Bottom by Hailee Steinfeld feat. DNCE
Favorite lyric: That you hate me now and I feel the same way You love me now and I feel the same way Scream and we shout And make up the same day, the same day Oh, we're on the right side of rock bottom And I hope that we keep falling We're on the good side of bad karma Cause we keep on coming back for more We're on the right side of rock bottom And to you, I just keep crawling You're the best kind of bad something Cause we keep on coming back for more

10. Hair by Little Mix
Favorite lyric: Okay, gotta bleach him out, peroxide on him Hair on the floor like my memory of him

My November Playlist!

Is November really over?  It went by SO fast.  On the plus side, this means Christmas is only 25 days away!!  I'm very excited!!!!!  I hope you all had an amazing Thanksgiving.  I just ate a ton of food and played games with my family.  It was nice to just hang out and relax.  It was hard coming up with this playlist.  There weren't many new songs that I liked but it's still a great one.  I'm still obsessed with last months playlist which is here.  What songs are you loving right now?


1. Sorry by Justin Bieber
I'll admit that I'm back on the Bieber train.  His new music is just SO good!  I tried to deny it but I just can't!  I haven't actually listened to his album yet.  I've heard good things though.  I love the beat of this song.  It takes it to a totally different level.  It makes it not feel like a typical love song and I just really like it!  I'm very intrigued to hear his album.  Favorite lyric: Is it too late now to say sorry Cause I'm missing more than just your body Is it too late now to say sorry? Yeah I know that I let you down Is it too late to say I'm sorry now?

2. Confident by Demi Lovato
This song is always in my head.  You guys know that I love girl power so I'm obviously obsessed with this song.  I love the message especially for young girls.  Be confident in who you are no matter what other people say.  The video reminded me of Divergent and made me want to be a badass.  Girl power all the way!  Favorite lyric: It's time for me to take it I'm the boss right now Not gonna fake it
Not when you go down 'Cause this is my game And you better come to play

3. The Hills by The Weeknd
At first I did not like this song at all.  One day I found myself humming it and now I can't get enough!  I just really love his voice.  It's so unique which makes him stand out.  Also his songs are highly addictive.  I've only heard his two singles but so far I'm a fan.  I don't usually prefer his genre of music so I feel like I'm expanding.  I'm totally checking is album out.  Favorite lyric: Your man on the road, he doing promo You said keep our business on the low-low I'm just tryna get you out the friend zone 'Cause you look even better than the photos I can't find your house, send me the info Driving through the gated residential Found out I was coming, sent your friends home Keep on tryna hide it but your friends know

4. Focus by Ariana Grande
I'm loving her new sound!  At first I wasn't too sure if I liked it but now it has grown on me.  It's a very catchy song.  I really love the video too.  It really showed her dancing skills which I've barely seen.  The whole thing showed a different side and I love it!  The trumpets were a nice touch too.  It's just more girl power!  I'm ready for new music!  Favorite lyric: I know what I came to do And that ain't gonna change So go ahead and talk your talk Cause I won't take the bait I'm over here doing what I like I'm over here working day and night And if my real ain't real enough I'm sorry for you, bae

5. Love You Goodbye by One Direction
The reason this playlist was so hard is because I've been listening to this album 24/7.  I'm not even lying.  Right now this is my favorite song.  It changes daily though.  It really shows how much they have matured.  I feel like a lot of people can relate to this song.  I'm loving them even more than before!  If you want you can go read my review of the album.  Favorite lyric: Hey, hey, hey Oh, why you're wearing that to walk out of my life? Hey, hey, hey Oh, even though it's over you should stay tonight Hey, hey, hey If tomorrow you won't be mine Won't you give it to me one last time? Oh, baby, let me love you goodbye

6. Electric Love by BORNS
I have never heard of this band before.  I actually discovered this song when I was trying to fall asleep.  At first I thought it was Maroon 5 because he sounds slightly like Adam.  I instantly loved it!  It sounds completely different than anything else on the radio.  It makes me feel so happy every time I hear it.  I don't even know why to be honest.  It is very catchy though.  Favorite lyric: Baby, you're like lightning in a bottle I can't let you go now that I got it And all I need is to be struck by your electric love Baby, your electric love Electric love

7. She Will Be Loved by Maroon 5
I'm bringing back one of my all time favorite songs.  I've been playing it a lot this month.  The radio was having a contest to win concert tickets so it kept playing in my head.  This will always be my favorite Maroon 5 song.  It really takes me back to my high school days.  I obsessed over this album and I still do.  It is just so good!  Seeing it live is even better if you get the chance.  Favorite lyric: I drove for miles and miles and wound up at your door I've had you so many times but somehow I want more I don't mind spending every day Out on your corner in the pouring rain Look for the girl with the broken smile Ask her if she wants to stay awhile And she will be loved And she will be loved

8. Hotline Bling by Drake
At first I wasn't a huge fan of this song.  He has had way better songs.  Now this song is like my guilty pleasure.  I never really admit to anybody that I like it but I do.  I'm always humming it without even knowing!  When it comes on the radio I turn it up too!  I just can't stop myself!  Also the music video is SO funny!  I could not stop laughing.  Favorite lyric: You used to call me on my cell phone Late night when you need my love Call me on my cell phone Late night when you need my love And I know when that hotline bling That can only mean one thing I know when that hotline bling That can only mean one thing

9. Secret Love Song by Little Mix feat. Jason Derulo
This is another album that I've been listening to 24/7.  This is the best album that they have done so far.  This was my favorite song right away.  I don't even like slow songs!  It is a sad song but very good.  I play it daily.  I also think Jason Derulo is the perfect match for this song.  He just sounds so good with them.  Favorite lyric: Why can't you hold me in the street? Why can't I kiss you on the dance floor? I wish that it could be like that Why can't we be like that? Cause I'm yours

10. (I've Had) The Time Of My Life by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes
This is a classic!  This month my mom and I went to see Dirty Dancing live.  It was SO good!  Now I'm constantly singing this song.  It is our favorite part of the entire movie which we have seen at least 1,000 times.  I'm not even lying!  If you haven't  seen Dirty Dancing then you must!  Favorite lyric: You're the one thing I can't get enough of So I'll tell you something This could be love because
I've had the time of my life No I never felt this way before Yes I swear it's the truth And I owe it all to you

My October Playlist!

Happy Halloween everybody!  I'm getting ready to take my nieces out trick or treating.  They are SO cute!  This year they are Batgirl and of course Elsa.  Secretly I wish I was dressing up as Elsa too.  Before all my Halloween excitement begins I wanted to share what songs I've been obsessed with this month.  I seem to have been loving a lot of female artists which is rare for me.  Girl power!  I'm still loving last month's playlist which you can check out here.  What songs have you been loving?

1. I'm In Love With A Monster by Fifth Harmony
This is a fitting first song.  I love Fifth Harmony so of course I love this song.  It's VERY catchy and a fun song.  It's for the movie Hotel Transylvania 2.  I've never seen the first one but maybe I'll take my nieces to see it sometime.  I'm so proud that they made it on a movie soundtrack.  I LOVE the video as well.  They look amazing!  Favorite lyric: Friends say I'm stupid and I'm out of my mind But without you, boy, I'd be bored all the time No, I don't really care for the same conversation Got everything I need, and I'd rather be chasing Chasing love, with a monster

2. Love Me Like You by Little Mix
They are on a roll with their new music!  I have loved every song that they have released.  I'm honestly so excited about the album.  I will be buying it for sure!  The sound is very 50's which you guys know I love.  They have really changed their sound and I think it's for the best.  The video is adorable and it makes me miss prom.  Favorite lyric: Last night I lay in bed so blue Cause I realized the truth, they can't love me like you I tried to find somebody new Baby they ain't got a clue, can't love me like you

3. Same Old Love by Selena Gomez
I have been obsessed with her lately!  I really like her mature sound.  She did it in a really classy and elegantly.  I really appreciate that because most younger artists don't do that anymore.  I'm sure she followed Taylor Swift's advice.  I actually haven't listened to her album yet but I plan on it.  I've heard it's fantastic.  I turn this song up every time it's on.  I'm loving it!  Favorite lyric: Take away your things and go You can't take back what you said, I know I've heard it all before, at least a million times I'm not one to forget, you know I don't believe, I don't believe it You left in peace, left me in pieces Too hard to breathe, I'm on my knees Right now

4. On My Mind by Ellie Goulding
This song has been my obsession!  I play it at least 10 times a day and never get tired of it.  I also constantly have it stuck in my head.  I really like how different it sounds compared to her other music.  I think it's amazing!  Supposedly this song is about Ed Sheeran but nothing has been confirmed.  I just love her and I'm a fan of anything she does.  I will totally be checking out her album.  Favorite lyric: Wait, I could have really liked you I'll bet, I'll bet that's why I keep on thinking 'bout you It's a shame (shame), you said I was good So I poured it down, so I poured it down And now I don't understand it You don't mess with love, you mess with the truth And I know I shouldn't say it But my heart don't understand Why I got you on my mind

5. Cake By The Ocean by DNCE
When did Joe Jonas create a band?  I had no idea he was singing until I saw them on TV.  Ir sounds nothing like him but I do love the song.  I do wish it was out during the summer instead because it has that vibe.  It's a very catchy song.  I haven't heard any other music by them so I can't tell if I'm a total fan yet.  I'm just still shocked that he has a band.  He should've went solo like Nick.  Favorite lyric: Waste time with a masterpiece, don't waste time with a masterpiece (Huh!) You should be rolling with me, you should be rolling with me (Aaahhhh) You're a real life fantasy, you're a real life fantasy (Huh!) But you're moving so carefully; let's start living dangerously

6. Stitches by Shawn Mendes
I've actually loved this song for awhile now.  It finally made my playlist!  First I forgot who sang it and then it kept getting bumped off by other songs.  This month I've been playing it a TON.  My friend and I just can't get enough for some reason.  It's even made it onto my morning playlist.  This is another song that is stuck in my head.  I'm always singing it!  Favorite lyric: You watch me bleed until I can't breathe Shaking, falling onto my knees And now that I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches Tripping over myself Aching, begging you to come help And now that I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches

7. Fifteen by Taylor Swift
Earlier this month I went to the Taylor Swift concert.  If you want to know all about it go here.  She sang this song and it just brought back so many memories.  I get chills every time I hear it.  It's just such a great song!  I've been playing her old albums over and over since the concert.  She is amazing and my idol.  I will be a fan forever!  Favorite lyric: 'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you You're gonna believe them And when you're fifteen, don't forget to look before you fall I've found that time can heal most anything And you just might find who you're supposed to be I didn't know who I was supposed to be at fifteen

8. One Call Away by Charlie Puth
I may or may not have a Charlie Puth obsession.  I just love his voice SO MUCH!  I've loved every song that I've heard.  I can't even choose a favorite!  I even preordered his album because I'm so obsessed.  I discovered this song when I was trying to fall asleep.  It's such a cute song!  I just love him!  Favorite lyric: No matter where you go You know you're not alone I'm only one call away I'll be there to save the day Superman got nothing on me I'm only one call away

9. Friend Zone by Danielle Bradbery
I'm SO glad that she has new music out!  I've been a fan since she was on The Voice.  It should've been released in the summer because it also has that vibe.  It's just really fun and upbeat.  I'm glad that she hasn't changed since becoming famous.  I do wish she would make songs like the older country music.  It would suit her voice perfectly.  Favorite lyric: You think you're doing just fine Ooh, she got you on the sideline You think you're flying towards the endzone You're just headed towards the friend zone Let me break it down to the facts You will never get a girl like that You gotta step up to the plate with a bat That's all I gotta say about that

10. Perfect by One Direction
Are you guys even surprised?  Obviously this song was going to make the playlist!  I've literally had it on repeat since it came out.  The video was a total surprise and I'm OBSESSED!  It might be my favorite video that they've done.  I love the black and white.  Plus they just look adorable.  I just love them!  I'm SUPER pumped for the album in 13 days!!!!!!!!  Be looking for an album review.  Favorite lyric: But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms And if you like having secret little rendezvous If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn’t do Baby, I'm perfect Baby, I'm perfect for you And if you like midnight driving with the windows down And if you like going places we can’t even pronounce If you like to do whatever you've been dreaming about Baby, you're perfect
Baby, you're perfect So let's start right now

My September Playlist!

Where did September go?  It went by too fast!  A lot happened in my life this month.  I'm back in school which is a HUGE update!  This will be my second degree so I'm trying to get back in the groove of it.  Also football has started which is my favorite time of year.  Unfortunately this month is not ending on a good note.  I've been super sick for the last week and it sucks.  I'm still obsessed with last month's playlist which you can check out here.  I was very selective about what songs made the list.  I'm extremely happy with how it turned out.  What songs are you loving?


1. Wildest Dreams by Taylor Swift
I know you guys saw this coming!  I love everything Taylor does so obviously this song made the list.  I've loved this song since I got this album so I'm really glad it's a single.  I'm not a huge fan of the video because I pictured it differently.  I do love Scott Eastwood though!  Also, I'm going to her concert in 9 days!!!!!!!  Be looking for a post all about it!  Favorite lyric: He's so tall and handsome as hell He's so bad but he does it so well I can see the end as it begins My one condition is Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress, Staring at the sunset, babe Red lips and rosy cheeks Say you'll see me again Even if it's just in your wildest dreams

2. Levels by Nicks Jonas
I am OBSESSED with Nick Jonas!  When did he start looking so sexy?  I don't even mind!  All of his songs are instant hits.  I do wish this song came out during the summer because it seems more fitting.  Plus this video is EVERYTHING!!!!  The only way to make it better is have him shirtless.  I really hope that happens!  Favorite lyric: I know, we can get higher There's levels to your love Yeah, there's levels to your love And I know, we can get higher There's levels to your love And I keep on climbing up

3. What Do You Mean? by Justin Bieber
My Bieber obsession is back!  I stopped listening to his music when he went crazy.  When I saw his campaign for this song I still wasn't sure.  Then I actually heard it and I've been playing it ever since!  I love how it's slightly techno but still soulful.  The true test for me will be his album.  Favorite lyric: You're overprotective when I'm leaving Trying to compromise but I can't win You wanna make a point but you keep preaching You had me from the start, won't let this end First you wanna go to the left then you want to turn right Wanna argue all day, make love all night First you're up then you're down then between Ohh I really wanna know What do you mean?

4. Hair by Little Mix
Little Mix are killing it right now!  I honestly can't wait for this album!!!!  This is the perfect break up song.  It's catchy and upbeat.  It's just a really fun song!  I listen to it every single day.  A lot of people think it's about Zayn but I'm pretty sure they wrote it before the break up.  I'm all for girl power!  Favorite lyric: Cause he was just a d*** and I knew it Got me going mad sitting in this chair
Like I don't care Gotta get him out my hair I tried everything but it's useless He pushed me so far now I'm on the edge Make him disappear Go get him out my hair

5. Downtown by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis
Macklemore is my biggest guilty pleasure.  I just love his music!  He can literally make a song about anything and it would be a hit.  I feel so happy every time I hear this song.  I love the 70's vibe of this song.  It really makes it easy to recognize and it's different which I like.  The video is the best since Thrift Shop.  I just love it!  Favorite lyric: It's me, the M the A-C the K Stunting like a French pimp from back in the day I take her to Pend Oreille and I watch her skate I mean, water ski, ollie ollie oxen free I'm perusing down fourth and they watching me I do a handstand, an eagle lands on my seat Well hello, but baby, the kickstand ain't free Now do you or do you not wanna ride with me I got one girl, I got two wheels She a big girl but ain't a big deal I like a big girl, I like 'em sassy Going down the backstreet listening to Blackstreet

6. Locked Away by R. City feat. Adam Levine
I only liked this song because of Adam Levine at first.  Then I found myself randomly humming it during the day. I really like the message of this song.  More songs need to have messages like this because they really do affect people.  I also love the beat.  It's just very catchy.  I'm interested to see what their other music will sound like.  I'll have to check it out.  Favorite lyric: If I got locked away And we lost it all today Tell me honestly Would you still love me the same? If I showed you my flaws If I couldn't be strong Tell me honestly Would you still love me the same?

7. Feelings by Maroon 5
I have an embarrassing story with this song.  It came on my radio and I was immediately excited because I thought that they had a new album coming out.  Then later that day I had my iPod on and this song came on.  Also I had played it 12 times!  I guess I just forgot all about it!  My friend thought it was SO funny but oh well!  I love this song though!  It also has a slight 70's vibe which I'm obsessed with right now.  Favorite lyric: If you want me take me home and let me use you I know he doesn't satisfy you like I do And does he know that there's nobody quite like you So let me tell you all the things he never told you I got these feelings for you And I can't help myself no more Can't fight these feelings for you No, I can't help myself no more

8. Break A Sweat by Becky G
I discovered this song at 3 in the morning when I couldn't sleep.  I honestly can't stop listening to it!  It's so upbeat and just really fun.  It makes you want to dance!  I like to listen to it in the mornings to get in a good mood for my day.  It would be a good work out song too.  I've always liked her songs so I'm glad I heard this one.  Favorite lyric: Can you take me places I've never been Never been before?
Give me loving 'til I just can't take it Take it any more Baby break a sweat, break a sweat Baby break a sweat Don't get tired yet, tired yet Don't get tired yet Baby break a sweat, break a sweat Baby break a sweat Keep on doing it, doing it Keep on doing it

9. Infinity by One Direction
This was a last minute addition.  1D announced that their new album will be come out in November.  If you pre-ordered then you got this track.  So of course I did and I'm in love.  I love the way they are going with their music.  It's very mature sounding and I love it.  I can't wait for the rest of the album!!!!  I will do a full review so don't worry!  Favorite lyric: How many nights does it take to count the stars? That's the time it would take to fix my heart Oh, baby, I was there for you All I ever wanted was the truth, yeah, yeah How many nights have you wished someone would stay? Lie awake only hoping they're okay I never counted all of mine If I tried, I know it would feel like infinity Infinity, infinity, yeah Infinity

10. Like I'm Gonna Lose You by Meghan Trainor feat. John Legend
I didn't even realize that this was a favorite until it was stuck in head.  I'm constantly singing this song.  It reminds me of a old school classic love song.  I love the oldies and I love how her songs always have that sound.  I'm not a big John Legend fan but he fits the song perfectly.  Favorite lyric: So I'm gonna love you Like I'm gonna lose you I'm gonna hold you Like I'm saying goodbye wherever we're standing I won't take you for granted 'cause we'll never know when When we'll run out of time so I'm gonna love you Like I'm gonna lose you I'm gonna love you like I'm gonna lose you

OMG summer is pretty much over!  I can't believe how fast it went.  I'm ready for fall though.  My month was pretty much uneventful.  It was refreshing though because I have been busy every weekend since May.  I worked a lot on my blog so that was good.  I am very excited about this month's playlist.  It was pretty much full three days in to the month.  I'm still OBSESSED with last month's playlist which you can check out here.  What songs are you loving?


1. She's Kinda Hot by 5 Seconds of Summer
I am so glad they have new music out.  I feel like it has been awhile.  It reminds me of high school a lot because I went through a punk rock phase.  This song totally has that sound.  It's very catchy and ALWAYS in my head.  I can't wait to hear more!  Favorite lyric: They say we’re losers and we’re alright with that We are the leaders of the not-coming-back’s But we’re alright though Yeah, we’re alright though We are the kings and the queens of the new broken scene Yeah, we’re alright though

2. I Don't Like It, I Love It by Flo Rida feat. Robin Thicke
How does Flo Rida make every song a hit?  It works on me every time!  This song is no different because I just love it.  It instantly puts you in a good mood.  I was SO surprised that Robin Thicke was singing with him.  It sounds nothing like him!  I'm very impressed and maybe he'll make a comeback.  Favorite lyric: I don't like it, I love it, love it, love it, uh oh So good it hurts I don't want it, I gotta, gotta have it, uh oh When I can't find the words, I just go

3. My Love by Justin Timberlake
This song is total throwback!  This song was everywhere this month for some reason.  I heard it a lot on the radio pretty much every day.  I did not mind though because it is one of my favorite songs by him.  I played it every morning before I went to school.  Let's be honest I love everything that he does.  I wish he would but out more music soon!  Favorite lyric: Yeah, because I can see us holding hands Walking on the beach, our toes in the sand I can see us on the countryside Sitting on the grass, laying side by side You could be my baby, let me make you my lady Girl, you amaze me Ain't gotta do nothing crazy See, all I want you to do is be my love

4. Lean On by Major Lazer
I actually liked this song for awhile but I never knew who sang it.  I really just like the beat.  It reminds me of an outdoor festival for some reason.  The video is very weird but I just can't stop listening to the song.  I don't think I would like her other songs though.  Favorite lyric: Blow a kiss, fire a gun We need someone to lean on Blow a kiss, fire a gun All we need is somebody to lean on

5. Ex's & Oh's by Elle King
I discovered this song at 3 AM when I couldn't sleep.  She sounds VERY similar to Amy Winehouse who I love.  That is what caught my attention the most.  I'm always humming this song because it's very catchy.  I'm sure what her other music sounds like but I am a fan of this song for sure.  It does make me miss Amy Winehouse though.  Favorite lyric: One, two, three, they gonna run back to me 'Cause I'm the best baby that they never gotta keep One, two, three, they gonna run back to me They always wanna come, but they never wanna leave Ex's and the oh, oh, oh's they haunt me Like ghosts they want me to make 'em all They won't let go Ex's and oh's

6. First Time by Icona Pop
They opened up for One Direction when I saw them in concert last month.  They were promoting their new album and this song was one that they sang.  I loved it right away!  It is just one of those songs that make you want to dance and scream the lyrics.  I like to play it in the morning to help me wake up.  Favorite lyric: Come on and run, run, run with me through the alley Before we get old and all our friends start to panic The first time we got high The first time we got drunk The first time we fell in love And things will never be the same And that's okay

7. Drag Me Down by One Direction
OMG 1D shocked the world by dropping this single without any warning!  Usually they promote it but this time they just tweeted out the iTunes link.  I thought it was a joke at first but I'm glad it's not.  I am OBSESSED with this song!  I honestly like them better as a group of 4.  It gives Niall and Louis more chances to sing which I like.  It was weird to not see Zayn in the video though.  I'm SUPER pumped for the album!  Favorite lyric: If I didn't have you there would be nothing left The shell of a man who could never be his best If I didn't have you, I'd never see the sun You taught me how to be someone, yeah All my life You stood by me When no one else was ever behind me All these lights They can't blind me With your love, nobody can drag me down

8. House Party by Sam Hunt
I'm still loving country music!  I discovered this while I was driving to the One Direction.  All we could get on the radio was country.  This song came on and I bought it right away on iTunes.  It's just such a fun song!  I also just love his music.  Favorite lyric: Cause I'll be at your door in ten minutes Whatever you got on, girl, stay in it You ain't gotta leave the house to have a good time I'm a bring the good time home to you We'll have a house party, we don't need nobody Turn your TV off, break that boom-box out We'll wake up all the neighbors til the whole block hates us And the cops show up and try to shut us down If you're gonna be a homebody We're gonna have a house party

9. Do It Again by Pia Mia feat. Tyga and Chris Brown
This song is my current obsession!  I literally have it on repeat all day long.  I didn't even existed until I saw people talking about it on Twitter.  Finally I decided to check it out and I'm glad I did!  I haven't heard it on the radio yet but so I highly recommend it to you guys.  You'll be addicted like I am!  Favorite lyric: It was nice to, nice to know ya, let's do it again How we did it on a one night stand Boy, I wanna be more than a friend to ya Nice to, nice to know ya, let's do it again How we did it on a one night stand Boy, I wanna be more than a friend to ya Let's do it again

10. Love Myself by Hailee Steinfeld
I also discovered this song when I couldn't sleep.  This is the perfect anthem for all girls.  You all know that I love girl power and this fits perfectly!  I'm so glad she made this song because it could change a lot of lives.  I struggle with body issues so I really love the message.  She did an amazing job on this song!  Favorite lyric: I'm gonna put my body first And love me so hard 'til it hurts I know how to scream out the words Scream the words (I love me) Gonna love myself, no, I don't need anybody else (Hey) Gonna love myself, no, I don't need anybody else (I love me) Can't help myself, no, I don't need anybody else Anytime, day or night (I love me) Gonna love myself, no, I don't need anybody else (Hey) Gonna love myself, no, I don't need anybody else (I love me) Can't help myself, no, I don't need anybody else Anytime that I like (I love me)

My July Playlist!

July is over!!!!  I'm actually really sad because it is one of my favorite months.  I had my 26th birthday which I was AMAZING!  Even though none of my actual plans happened it was still a great birthday.  I also went to two different concerts.  First I went to Kenny Chesney which was for my birthday.  On Tuesday I went to see One Direction!!!  It was just a good month overall.  I also discovered some awesome new music.  Don't worry there are a couple of throwbacks also.  I've been SUPER into country music which you'll notice in this playlist.  I'm still obsessed with last months playlist which you can find here.  What songs are you listening to?


1. Can't Feel My Face by The Weeknd
I tried SO hard to not like this song because I'm not a huge fan of him.  I just couldn't resist!  I am constantly singing or humming it all day long.  Everything about it is catchy!  I'm still not convinced to buy any other songs by him though.  I did buy this song and I listen to it daily.  I'm not a fan of the video though.  Favorite lyric: She told me, "Don't worry about it" She told me, "Don't worry no more" We both knew we can't go without it She told me you'll never be in love-oh-oh, wooh I can't feel my face when I'm with you But I love it, but I love it, oh I can't feel my face when I'm with you
But I love it, but I love it, oh

2. Should've Been Us by Tori Kelly
She is slowly becoming my obsession.  I just love everything about her!  Her voice is just flawless and so unique.  I also love her style and personality.  I'd really love to see her live sometime.  I play this song every morning because I just want to belt it out while getting ready.  We all do it so deny it.  Let me know if you have her album and if I should buy it.  Favorite lyric: It should've been us Shoulda been a fire, shoulda been the perfect storm It should've been us Coulda been the real thing, now we'll never know for sure, ooh We were crazy, but amazing, baby we both know It should've been us, us It, it, it should've been us

3. Good For You by Selena Gomez
I've been a fan for a couple of years now so I'm glad she has new music out.  When I heard this song on the radio I had no clue it was her.  The sound is COMPLETELY different sound and I'm loving it!  It is much more mature so she'll probably lose her younger fans but she'll gain new ones.  The video took me by surprise.  It's sexy but not crazy like Miley Cyrus did.  I applaud her.  Favorite lyric: Gonna wear that dress you like, skin-tight Do my hair up real, real nice And syncopate my skin to your heart beating 'Cause I just wanna look good for you, good for you, uh-huh I just wanna look good for you, good for you, uh-huh Let me show you how proud I am to be yours Leave this dress a mess on the floor And still look good for you, good for you, uh-huh

4. 21 by Hunter Hayes
I'm in love with Hunter Hayes.  Even my grandpa who is 73 loves him.  He is just the best!  I've been playing this song all month.  It fit perfectly since it was my birthday.  Even though I didn't turn 21 that is the message behind the song.  We can all feel 21 no matter what age we are.  I really hope this means he'll have a new album out soon!  Favorite lyric: That's the way that we're doing it, doing it We go big or we go back home People looking at us like we're losing it, losing it But, baby, we ain't doing nothing wrong Gonna be up all night Chasing the sunrise Like we're wild and young Baby, kids on the run Gonna party like we just turned 21

5. Yeah Boy by Kelsea Ballerini
I discovered her on YouTube and I immediately bought her album.  That is very unusual for me!  She reminds me of Taylor Swift a lot.  She seems to be very relatable to girls based of her songs.  All her songs are just SO good!  I like that she has a country sound because a lot of artists don't anymore.  I really hope she comes to Nebraska because I will go see her for sure!  Favorite lyric: Yeah, boy I'm digging what you're doing Yeah, boy I'm trying to keep it cool But you're making it hard, I'm wishing your arms Were wrapping me up tight Yeah, boy You shine and you can't even help it Yeah, boy Your eyes could make the moon jealous And if you wanna know if I wanna be your girl tonight Yeah, boy

6. Good Thing by Sage The Gemini feat. Nick Jonas
This is another 3 AM discovery.  I was watching videos on TV and then I heard Nick Jonas.  The obsession is real!  He looks SO good in the video too!  It is a very catchy song and it pops in my head at random times.  I don't know any other Sage The Gemini songs but I am a fan of this one!  Favorite lyric: This ain't nothing but dangerous We about to be over it Why can't it just be what it is Why can't it be what it is We're both getting emotional Same time getting so sexual Why can't it be what it is
Why can't it be what it is I know, you know, we know We can make the good thing keep happening
Good thing keep happening I know, you know, we know We can make the good thing keep happening Good thing keep happening

7. Ain't No Other Man by Christina Aguilera
This song is a total throwback!  This was my jam back when I was a senior in high school.  I even had it as my ring tone!  This month I heard it EVERYWHERE!  It was my iPod, the radio, and even on TV.  It made me love it all over again.  It just brought back SO many memories!  I was only 17 when it came out.  That makes me feel very old!  Favorite lyric: Ain't no other man, can stand up next to you Ain't no other man on the planet does what you do (what you do) You're the kinda guy, a girl finds in a blue moon You got soul, you got class You got style with your bad ass oh yeah Ain't no other man its true all right Ain't no other man but you

8. I Go Back by Kenny Chesney
In my Kenny Chesney post I said you would have to check my playlist to find out my favorite song.  Here it is!  This song will forever be my favorite by him.  I just love the meaning behind it.  A lot of songs hold a lot of memories for me.  That's the greatest thing about music.  Music will always be a huge part of me no matter what.  Favorite lyric: I go back to a two toned short bed Chevy Drivin my first love out to the levvy Livin life with no sense of time And I go back to the feel of a fifty yard line
A blanket, a girl, some raspberry wine Wishin time would stop right in its tracks Everytime I hear that song, I go back

9. Let Me See Ya Girl by Cole Swindell
OMG you guys this song is my current obsession!  I literally have it on repeat all day.  I actually heard it on the way back from the Kenny Chesney concert.  I only heard it once and now I'm addicted!  It's really catchy and I just can't get enough!  I've never heard any of his other music so I'm not sure if I like any other songs or not.  This song is a winner though!  Favorite lyric: Girl you're tearin' that dance floor up Let me see you do it in the bed of my truck You sure know how to shake it alright Let me see you do it in the Tennessee moonlight Woah, baby lets go down a little road nobody else knows Just me and you park on the edge of the world That's how I wanna see you girl

10. Act My Age by One Direction
This was one of my favorite performances at the concert.  It just makes you want to dance!  Niall even did the Irish jig!  It was great and I wish I was back already!  This song definitely fits their personality because they don't act like they are 21.  Even my mom liked this song.  I can't wait for the new album!  Favorite lyric: I won't act my age, no, I won't act my age No, I'll still feel the same around you I won't act my age, no, I won't act my age No, I'll still feel the same and you will, too
Hey! When I can hardly walk and my hair is falling out We'll still stay up 'til morning We'll throw the after-party, oh, yeah, oh, yeah

My June Playlist!

June is over!  I can't believe how quickly this year is going.  I hope you have all been having an awesome Summer so far!  I have been pretty busy but I love it.  July is going to be even busier and very exciting.  So stay tuned to my blog for all the action.  I'm loving my playlist for this month.  It's a very good mixture and a great way to kick off my favorite season.  You can check out last month's playlist here.  What songs are you listening to?  Let me know!

1. Fight Song by Rachel Platten
I can not get enough of this song!  I've had this on repeat for pretty much the entire month.  It's just one of those songs that I never get tired of.  I love the message behind it as well.  It's all about never giving up on your dream.  No matter what dream you have you just need to go for it!  I really need to check out more of her music.  Favorite lyric: This is my fight song Take back my life song Prove I'm alright song My power's turned on Starting right now I'll be strong I'll play my fight song And I don't really care if nobody else believes 'Cause I've still got a lot of fight left in me

2. Fun by Pitbull feat. Chris Brown
The title totally fits this song!  I love the beat because it makes you want to dance.  It sounds like a mixture of the 90's and techno.  This has been added to my morning playlist.  It just instantly makes you happy when you hear it.  I think this will become the party anthem of 2015.  It also really makes me miss Miami!  Favorite lyric: Loosen up your body till you come undone Loosen up your body baby come undone Oh my my, looking like a good good time Don't disguise The way you wanna love tonight Oh my my, hook you with a brand new high Don't be shy, I just wanna live tonight Live a little F.U.N. fun

3. Cheerleader by OMI
I love this song SO much!  It makes me feel happy.  I really love the beachy vibe it gives off.  Sadly I live in Nebraska so there are no beaches but I can dream!  I find this song refreshing because it's not about being a player.  It's basically an upbeat love song which all girls love.  Other artists should take note!  Favorite lyric: Do you need me? Do you think I'm pretty? Do I make you feel like cheating?
And I'm like no, not really 'cause Oh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader She is always right there when I need her Oh, I think that I've found myself a cheerleader She is always right there when I need her

4. Take Your Time by Sam Hunt
I only heard the very end of this song but I was hooked instantly.  It has a rap/country vibe that I really like.  For some reason I've been listening to a lot of country music lately.  He doesn't seem like a country singer which is good.  He is reaching a broader audience this way.  I think the song is really cute too.  I'm a fan!  Favorite lyric: I don't wanna steal your freedom I don't wanna change your mind I don't have to make you love me I just wanna take your time I don't wanna wreck your Friday I ain't gonna waste my lines I don't have to take your heart I just wanna take your time

5. Marvin Gaye by Charlie Puth feat. Meghan Trainor
You probably recognize this name from his hit song See You Again.  I'm constantly looking for new stuff on YouTube and I came across this song.  It's always stuck in my head!  It has a modern 60's vibe which I love.  I am obsessed with the 50's and 60's.  Also his voice is just SO amazing!  I'm officially in love with him!  Favorite lyric: Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on You got the healing that I want Just like they say it in the song Until the dawn, let's Marvin Gaye and get it on You got to give it up to me I'm screaming mercy, mercy please Just like they say it in the song Until the dawn, let's Marvin Gaye and get it on

6. Pretty Fly For A White Guy by The Offspring
This song is a total throwback and I'll be SUPER impressed if you guys know it.  For some reason I could not get away from this song all month.  It played on Spotify, iTunes, and even the radio.  I forgot how much I loved it though.  I was obsessed when it came out in the 90's and I even had it on one of my high school mix CD's.  It's just a classic.  Favorite lyric: Now he's getting a tattoo Yeah he's gettin' ink done He asked for a '13', but they drew a '31' Friends say he's trying too hard And he's not quite hip But in his own mind He's the dopest trip.

7. Doin' What She Likes by Blake Shelton
I have been loving Blake Shelton recently.  I heard this while I was at a baseball game and it stuck with me.  I just can't get enough of him!  I'm not sure why I didn't listen to his music sooner.  This song is very sweet and the video totally fits his personality.  I can't wait to discover more songs by him.  Favorite lyric: She likes hearin' how good she looks in them blue jeans Little kisses, sweeter than sweet tea Things I whispered in her ear, oh my I like doin' what she likes Like running my fingers through her long hair Lightin' watermelon candles upstairs Lettin' them burn and holdin' her all night I like doin' what she likes

8. Where Are U Now by Skrillex and Diplo feat. Justin Bieber
I'm back on the Bieber bandwagon.  I was SO annoyed when he went crazy but thankfully he seems to be better.  I have a love/hate relationship with this song.  Sometimes it's too much techno but sometimes I like the beat.  I am excited about new music from him though.  Hopefully he'll go back to what he's good at.  Favorite lyric: I gave you the key when the door wasn't open, just admit it See, I gave you faith, turned your doubt into hoping, can’t deny it Now I’m all alone and my joys turned to moping Tell me, where are you now that I need you? Where are you now? Where are you now that I need you?

9. 22 by Taylor Swift
This will forever be one of my favorite T. Swift songs.  I just love her!  I'm turning 26 in 15 days so I felt like listening to this song over and over.  Let's be honest the message of this song is on point.  We really don't know what we want our lives to be like.  We are just living and loving every moment because life is short.  Favorite lyric: Yeah, We're happy, free, confused, and lonely in the best way It's miserable and magical Oh, yeah Tonight's the night when we forget about the heartbreaks It's time Uh oh! (hey!) I don't know about you But I'm feeling 22 Everything will be alright If you keep me next to you You don't know about me But I'll bet you want to Everything will be alright (alright)
If we just keep dancing like we're 22, ooh-ooh (oh, oh, oh)

10. Breathe In. Breathe Out. by Hilary Duff
OMG I'm obsessed with the new Hilary Duff album!  I even bought it at Target to get the bonus tracks.  I've been playing it daily!  So far this song has been my favorite.  I'm just SO happy that she is making a comeback.  I really hope a tour happens because I will definitely be there!  Favorite lyric: No more rain or shine Well, I guess this is goodbye I made a top ten list Of all the things I miss
Your lying eyes and lips They didn't make it And when I'm cold at night I know that I'll survive Until I feel alright I'm gonna fake it Breathe in, breathe out Breathe in, breathe out Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out Breathe in, breathe out Breathe in, breathe out

My May Playlist!

Is May really over?  It went by SO fast!  A lot happened which made it feel like it went even faster.  I'm ready for June though because maybe it will finally stop raining.  It's also one month closer to my birthday!  I'm also excited for baseball games.  I'm still SUPER obsessed with last month's playlist so go check it out.  This month is pretty diverse.  I must have been in a country music mood.  Hopefully you guys enjoy it!  What have you guys been listening to?  Leave some recommendations!


1. Honey, I'm Good by Andy Grammer
I first heard this song on DWTS.  I honestly didn't really love it until I heard it on the radio.  After that it was pretty much in my head at all times.  It's one of those songs that puts you in a good mood no matter what.  I really like that it's so upbeat and fun.  Anybody can enjoy it as well.  Plus it isn't your typical love song.  This music video is adorable too.  Favorite lyric: So nah nah honey, I’m good I could have another but I probably should not I got somebody at home, And if I stay I might not leave alone No, honey, I’m good I could have another but I probably should not I gotta bid you adieu To another I will stay true

2. Pretty Girls by Britney Spears feat. Iggy Azalea
Britney is back!!!!  This song reminds me of 90's Britney.  The music video has the fashion, the clothes, and the dance moves.  I can't get enough!  I really hope this is a sign of new music.  I've always been a big fan especially of old Britney.  I've been waiting for her to go back to her old roots.  I think Iggy adds a nice touch to the song too.  Favorite lyric: The girls roll up Windows roll down Eyes on us Jaws on the ground Watch them go It's just so funny Like bees to the honey! All around the world, pretty girls Wipe the floor with all the boys Pour the drinks, bring the noise We're just so pretty! All around the world, pretty girls Jump the line, to the front Do what we like, get what we want We're just so pretty!

3. This Summer's Gonna Hurt by Maroon 5
If you've followed this blog long enough then you know I love Adam Levine.  When I heard this song I was very confused because it sounded like him but it's not on their album.  It also sounds completely different then all their other songs.  It's very catchy though!  All I know is I'm obsessed!  This might be one of my summer jams.  I am always singing it.  Maybe this means another album is coming soon!  I can only hope!  Favorite lyric: I see her dancing in the streets Sipping champagne on the beach So expensive when she eats Cause she's so fancy I see her when I go to sleep I check my phone when I am weak She never posts anything deep Cause she's so fancy

4. Flashlight by Jessie J
If you saw Pitch Perfect 2 then you probably know this song.  If you haven't seen it then you MUST!  All that was playing in my mind was this song when I left the theater.  I thought it was written for the movie so I was surprised when I found out it was a Jessie J song.  I just love the meaning of the song.  It will make more sense when you see the movie.  I'll let you guys decide what it's about because it has many meanings.  Favorite lyric: I got all I need when I got you and I I look around me, and see a sweet life I'm stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight You're getting me, getting me through the night Kick start my heart when you shine it in my eyes Can't lie, it's a sweet life Stuck in the dark but you're my flashlight You're getting me, getting me through the night Cause you're my flash light (flash light)

5. Bad Blood by Taylor Swift
I'm SO glad this is her next single!  I wasn't sure about this version with Kendrick Lamar but it's growing on me now.  Taylor can do nothing wrong!  She really hyped this music video up and let me just say it did not disappoint!  It was full of girl power which I always appreciate.  Plus it shows a whole different side of her that we've never seen before.  I honestly can't wait for her tour now.  I know it will be AMAZING!  Favorite lyric: Band-aids don't fix bullet holes You say sorry just for show If you live like that, you live with ghosts Band-aids don't fix bullet holes You say sorry just for show If you live like that you live with ghosts If you love like that blood runs cold

6. Girl Crush by Little Big Town
I first heard this song on The Voice and then I forgot about it.  I then heard it on the Billboard Awards and loved it.  It reminds me of an old 50's or 60's song even though it's a country song.  I think every girl has felt this way at some point in their life.  We all want the boy who loves somebody else.  That's just how life goes.  This song really describes that feeling.  I listen to it all the time now.  Favorite lyric: I wanna taste her lips, yeah, ‘cause they taste like you I wanna drown myself in a bottle of her perfume I want her long blonde hair, I want her magic touch Yeah, ‘cause maybe then you’d want me just as much I got a girl crush

7. Sangria by Blake Shelton
Who doesn't love Blake Shelton?  Ever since he performed this song on The Voice I have been playing it on repeat.  I'm not exactly sure why I like it but I do.  I think I just really like his music.  It is a country song but I think you'll like it anyway.  It's only slightly country.  For some reason it just reminds me of a good summer song.  Favorite lyric: We're buzzing like that no vacancy sign out front Your skin is begging to be kissed by a little more than the sun You take my hand in yours, you lean in
And your lips taste like sangria, your lips taste like sangria

8. Clouds by One Direction
You guys are probably over the One Direction songs.  I just can't help it!  This song popped up on my iPod every time I played it.  I found myself singing this song in my head all day.  I've actually loved it for awhile but now I'm obsessed!  I love how it sounds like an anthem.  I really hope they perform it at their concert.  It will probably sound 1000 times better.  I'm SO excited!  They sound just as good without Zayn.  I honestly couldn't tell a difference.  Favorite lyric: I know you said That you don’t like it complicated That we should try to keep it simple But love is never ever simple No Someday You’re gonna see the things that I see You’re gonna want the air that I breathe
You’re gonna wish you never left me

9. Sparks by Hilary Duff
Here is a fun fact...I'm a big Hilary Duff fan!  I'm not even ashamed!  Lizzie McGuire was my life back in the day.  I'm SO glad she is making music again.  It sounds fantastic!  Also she looks amazing especially since she had a baby a few years ago.  I wish I was cool enough to dye my hair blue.  I listen to this while I'm getting ready for the day.  It's also the perfect work out song.  Favorite lyric: You can promise castles, treasures, babies I don't care Cause for now you're just enough for me
I want you near Like a fairytale to feel your breath right on my neck You remember what I love so baby take me back

10. Black Magic by Little Mix
This song has only been out for a week or so and I'm already obsessed!  I hope they will have a new album soon!  I just love them.  This will for sure be on my summer playlist.  It's just a really cute and fun song.  I'm totally loving their new sound.  Also I love the video A LOT!  I've probably watched 50 times already.  Favorite lyric: Take a sip of my secret potion, I'll make you fall in love. For a spell that can't be broken, One drop should be enough. Boy, you belong to me, I got the recipe And it's called black magic (and it's called black magic) Take a sip of my secret potion, One taste and you'll be mine. It's a spell that can't be broken It'll keep you up all night Boy, you belong to me, I got the recipe And it's called black magic (and it's called black magic)

My April Playlist!

April is over already!!!  This month flew by because I have been super busy.  I love being busy though especially since Winter is over.  Unfortunately it has pretty much rainy every day.  It even snowed one day!  That's Nebraska weather for you though.  I'm SUPER excited about this post.  I have legit been playing this playlist daily and on repeat.  It is probably my favorite and best playlist I've done in awhile.  I'm still loving last month's playlist as well.  You can check it out here.  What songs are you guys loving?  Let me know!


1. GDFR by Flo Rida
This song has been playing in my head all month!  I think I just really like the beat.  It instantly boosts your mood and makes you feel pumped.  This song is perfect for an exercise playlist.  I'm also shocked that it's by Flo Rida.  I honestly had no clue.  I just hadn't heard from him lately but I'm glad he's back!  Favorite lyric: I know what you came here to see If you're a freak, then ya coming home with me And I know what you came here to do Now bust it open let me see you get loose It's going down for real

2. Want To Want Me by Jason Derulo
Who doesn't love him?  I'm pretty much obsessed with anything he does.  I can't get enough!  When I first heard this song I thought it was Usher.  I'm glad it wasn't because once I found out I loved it even more.  I am an Usher fan as well though.  This song is probably my favorite since Talk Dirty.  I really love the slight techno vibe.  I can't wait for more!  Favorite lyric: Girl, you're the one I want to want me And if you want me, girl, you got me There's nothing I know I wouldn't do, I wouldn't do Just to get up next to you

3. I Want You To Know by Zedd feat. Selena Gomez
This is where my true techno side comes out.  I could listen to this on repeat even if there were no words.  It's just SO good!  Selena adds a whole different dynamic which makes me love it even more.  I'm not really a fan of her but I thought she fit well with this song.  The video is weird but I think most of his videos are.  At least he makes amazing music.  Favorite lyric: I’m slippin down a chain reaction And here I go here I go here I go go And once again I’m yours in fractions It takes me down pulls me down pulls me down low

4. Shut Up And Dance by Walk The Moon
I discovered this song at like 4 AM while was watching music videos on MTV.  I've been obsessed ever since!  I literally listen to it about 20 times a day.  I'm not even joking!  I especially like playing it while I'm getting ready for the day because I'm not a morning person.  I haven't heard anything else by them but I'm glad I found this.  I don't typically like covers but I've been loving this one.  Favorite lyric: A backless dress and some beat up sneaks, My discothèque, Juliet teenage dream. I felt it in my chest as she looked at me. I knew we were bound to be together, Bound to be together She took my arm, I don't know how it happened. We took the floor and she said, "Oh, don't you dare look back. Just keep your eyes on me." I said, "You're holding back," She said, "Shut up and dance with me!" This woman is my destiny She said, "Oh, oh, oh, Shut up and dance with me."

5. Dear Future Husband by Meghan Trainor
I love every song she does.  I honestly don't know how anybody could dislike her.  My mom even loves her!!  The 50's vibe of this song is perfection.  The 50's and 60's are my favorite era though so I'm slightly biased.  I just think she's a perfect role model for girls today because she breaks down the stereotypes.  Girls need somebody like her!  #GirlPower  Favorite lyric: Dear future husband, Here's a few things you'll need to know if you wanna be My one and only all my life Dear future husband, If you wanna get that special lovin' Tell me I'm beautiful each and every night

6. Budapest by George Ezra
This is another song I discovered at 3 AM.  If you haven't noticed I'm sort of a night owl.  I loved this song the second I heard it.  It just has a really cool sound that is unique right now.  I immediately bought it and haven't stopped playing it.  I'm constantly humming it no matter what I'm doing.  I really just love his voice.  I will definitely be checking out more of his stuff.  Favorite lyric: My house in Budapest My, my hidden treasure chest Golden grand piano My beautiful Castillo You Ooh, you Ooh, I'd leave it all

7. Geronimo by Sheppard
I'm not sure how I found this song but I'm glad I did.  This song is so upbeat and catchy.  It will be stuck in your head for sure.  I listen to it every morning to wake up.  It really helps especially if I'm struggling to actually wake up which is pretty much daily.  This would also be a good work out song.  I've never heard of this band before.  I'm going to have to look into more of their music too.  Favorite lyric: Can you feel it? Now it's coming back we can steal it If we bridge this gap, I can see you Through the curtains of the waterfall When I lost it, Yeah you held my hand, But I tossed it, Didn't understand, You were waiting, As I dove into the waterfall

8. See You Again by Wiz Khalifa feat. Charlie Puth
This song is so beautiful and gives me chills every time I listen to it.  I'm not even a Wiz Khalifa fan but he did an awesome job.  I saw Furious 7 this month and this song is in memory of Paul Walker.  I actually cried the first time I heard it.  It is the perfect closure for the fans.  I've been a HUGE Paul Walker fan for years so I appreciate this a lot.  I honestly still can't believe he's gone.  Favorite lyric: How could we not talk about family when family's all that we got? Everything I went through you were standing there by my side And now you gonna be with me for the last ride It's been a long day without you, my friend And I'll tell you all about it when I see you again We've come a long way from where we began  Oh, I'll tell you all about it when I see you again  When I see you again

9. Worth It by Fifth Harmony
This is current obsession right now!  It took me awhile but now I can't stop playing it!  I love everything these girls do.  I REALLY want to see them on tour but sadly they aren't coming around my area.  This video reminds me of a modern day Spice Girls.  Each girl has a very specific role that they protray.  I love the Spice Girls so I'm all for it!  #GirlPower  Favorite lyric: It's all on you, it's all on you It's all on you, so what you wanna do? And if you don't have a clue Not a clue, I'll tell you what to do Come harder just because I don't like it, like it too soft I like it a little rough Not too much, but maybe just enough

10. Stockholm Syndrome by One Direction
Like all my fellow Directioners I've been mourning Zayn's decision to leave.  I have been listening to my 1D playlist on repeat.  This is the song that keeps playing in my head.  I just keep going back to it!  It really shows a darker more mature side of them.  I'm still going to their concert this Summer.  Hopefully it's still an awesome show.  I have faith that it will be though.  Favorite lyric: Who’s this man that’s holding your hand And talking ‘bout your eyes? Used to sing about being free but now he’s changed his mind I know they’ll be coming to find me soon But my Stockholm syndrome is in your room Yeah, I fell for you!

My February Playlist!

Can you believe February is over already?  It went too quick!  On the plus side it means that Spring is just around the corner.  I am over Winter!  It also means that it's time for another playlist.  You can check out last month's right here.  There were SO many good songs that I discovered this month.  I hope you enjoy!  What songs are you loving?


1. New Flame by Chris Brown feat. Usher & Rick Ross
I have been obsessed with this song for awhile!  I finally found the name of it and wrote it down.  It is such a catchy song!  I'm glad Chris Brown is going back to the music he makes best.  Plus adding in Usher was a clever and smart move.  I can't get enough!  Favorite lyric: Who said you can't find love in the club? 'Cause I wanna tell them they're wrong Come on, just, baby, try a new thing And let's spark a new flame You gon' be my baby Love me, love you crazy Tell me if you're ready Baby, come and get it Try a new thing And let's spark a new flame

2. Somebody by Natalie La Rose feat. Jeremih
This song is my current obsession!  I have it on repeat constantly!  When I first heard it, I felt a 90's vibe and then the video confirmed it.  You don't know how happy I am that the style and music from the 90's are making a comeback.  This song is my jam!  Hopefully her other music is just as good.  Favorite lyric: I wanna rock with somebody (whoah yeah) I wanna take shots with somebody (shots, shots, shots, shots)  I wanna leave with somebody (somebody, comm'on, comm'on) And we ain't gonna tell nobody, we ain't gonna tell nobody (nobody)

3. Outside by Calvin Harris feat. Ellie Goulding
I am a big fan of slightly techno music which this song delivers.  It really makes me wish it were Summer.  It would be the perfect anthem!  I love to play this every morning to wake me up and get ready for the day.  Everybody needs a song like that in their lives.  Favorite lyric: Now I'm holding on Myself was never enough for me Gotta be so strong There's a power in what you do Now every other day I'll be watching you I'll show you what it feels like Now I'm on the outside We did everything right Now I'm on the outside

4. Show 'Em (What You're Made Of) by Backstreet Boys
I've been loving their movie which has the same title.  You can check out my review here.  I just really love the message and meaning of this song.  Don't ever be afraid to show your true colors.  If people don't love you for you then they aren't worth it.  Favorite lyric: Gloves are off Ready to fight Like a lion I will survive Will I? Will I? You gotta stand for something Even if you stand alone don’t be afraid It’s gonna be alright

5. FourFiveSeconds by Rihanna, Kanye West, and Paul McCartney
You guys I tried SO hard to hate this song!  I'm not the biggest fan of her and I definitely hate him.  Somehow this song just embedded itself in my brain.  I know a lot of people who hate it but I can't stop humming along.  I'm still not a fan though!  Favorite lyric: Woke up an optimist Sun was shinin', I'm positive Then I heard you was talkin' trash Hold me back, I'm 'bout to spaz

6. Love Me Like You Do by Ellie Goulding
I went through a bit of an Ellie Goulding phase this month.  I was obsessed with her music for awhile and I must be obsessed again.  I just love her sound and how different it is from anybody else.  She is just amazing!  I hope more music comes out soon.  Favorite lyric: Fading in, fading out On the edge of paradise Every inch of your skin is a holy grail I've got to find Only you can set my heart on fire, on fire Yeah, I'll let you set the pace 'Cause I'm not thinking straight My head's spinning around I can't see clear no more What are you waiting for?

7. Bright by Echosmith
This is a song I discovered at 3 AM.  I've determined that's when all the best songs are played.  When I heard it I honestly thought it was Taylor Swift.  I was shocked when I found out who it was because it sounds nothing like them.  I'm loving it!  Favorite lyric: Did you see that shooting star tonight Were you dazzled by the same constellation? Did you and Jupiter conspire to get me? I think you and the Moon and Neptune got it right 'Cause now I'm shining bright, so bright Bright, so bright

8. Style by Taylor Swift
I know what you are thinking, I've had a Taylor Swift song on my playlist for the last four months.  I just can't help it!  Her album is just that good!  This song has been in my head all month.  I'm also loving the video.  I love everything she does honestly.  Favorite lyric: So it goes He can't keep his wild eyes on the road Takes me home Lights are off, he's taking off his coat I say, "I heard, oh, that you've been out and about with some other girl, some other girl." He says, "What you've heard is true but I Can't stop thinking about you," and I I said, "I've been there too a few times."

9. Heartbeat Song by Kelly Clarkson
She is back!  I was a huge fan back in the day but then her sound changed.  I'm glad she has found her way back.  I sing this song all the time.  It's SO good and now I want to check out her new album.  Favorite lyric: This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it Been so long I forgot how to turn it up up up up all night long Oh up up all night long This is my heartbeat song and I'm gonna play it Turned it on But I know you can take it up up up up all night long Oh up up all night long

10. Outside My Window by Sarah Buxton
I've loved this song for awhile but I rediscovered this song on my iTunes.  Every time I'm in a terrible mood I listen to it.  It's just a happy uplifting song.  It's a country song which a lot of people don't know I listen to.  You will love it!  Favorite lyric: Still need stars when you're wishin' at night A best friend to set you right A good laugh, a warm bath And a beautiful song you can sing along to Good news that'll make you cry All the little things that money can't buy  No wars, no more Just a big rainbow outside my window
