• Genre: Dance/Electronic
• Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

• Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
• If you like this, try this: The Other by Lauv

• Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

• Artist: Gryffin and Katie Pearlman
• Genre: Pop
• Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
• If you like this, try this: I Love You by Axwell /\ Ingrosso
• Why I like it: Some parts of this song are slow and boring to be completely honest, but it when it gets to the chorus, the song gets sentimental and sad as well. It’s still great to listen to and I’m sure some people can connect to it as well.

12. Sunrise

• Artist: Kygo and Jason Walker
• Genre: Dance
• Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
• If you like this, try this: Stay Young by Mike Perry

13. 告白氣球

• Artist: Jay Chou
• Genre: Pop
• Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
• If you like this, try this: 感恩的心 – Fei Fei Ou Yang
• Why I like it: This love song is very relaxing to listen to and has a very calming vibe that I like and enjoy listening to. Its lyrics are also very sweet and mesh together really nicely.

14. Good Old Days

• Artist: Macklemore and Kesha
• Genre: Pop
• Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️
• If you like this, try this: Praying by Kesha
• Why I like it: It has a deep meaning and tells everyone to appreciate and love who they are and don’t rush to grow up, but to live in the now. This is a song that is pretty slow, but not slow to the point where it’s like a lullaby. The voices of these two artists really complement each other as well.

15. Supposed To Be

• Artist: Arty
• Genre: Pop
• Rating: ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️
• If you like this, try this: Hearts on Fire by Gavin James
• Why I like it: The two moods found in this song are happiness and also sadness. When listening to the lyrics, it gets the listener thinking about times like the ones mentioned in the song, but the beat of the song doesn’t exactly suit the meaning—still, it’s a great song in general.
