This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at IU chapter.

Life’s tough? HCIU can help! Listen to these songs for an instant mood-booster!

 

  1. “All Time Low” by John Bellion

This song may be titled All Time Low, but the only place your mood will be going after listening to this song is up.

 

2. “From Eden” by Hozier

Between the light and airy acoustics and Hozier’s killer vocals, this song will make anyone smile.

 

3. “Junk of the Heart (Happy)” by The Kooks

This song has the word “happy” in the title. Enough said.

 

4. “Trap Queen- Acoustic” by Tyler Ward

Taking one of America’s most popular rap songs and turning it into an acoustic, chill jam is beyond impressive.

At this point, just add the entire VHS album to your queue.

 

11. “I Lived” by One Republic

This is the song that every movie producer puts at the end of romantic comedies to keep the mood light.
