I don’t listen to music often when doing homework because I tend to get distracted. However, when I decide that homework is music is the move, I do have a couple of songs that I like to listen to on repeat. Most of the songs are high-beat songs to keep my energy up but I do have a song that is on the quiet side.

  1. Fire by BTS

This is actually the song that got me into BTS and it’s also one of my favorite songs ever! That’s why I love to listen to this song on repeat when I do homework or study.

  1. Coconut Mall 10 Hour

I believe that I found out about listening to this via TikTok and it changed my life. I can do homework for hours just listening to this. The longest that I’ve ever done homework in one sitting with this playing was about 5 hours straight!

  1. Pyro by Chester Young and Castion

There’s just something about this song on repeat that makes me become 792739237x more productive. I don’t know if it’s the beats or the pace of the song but it makes my head go BRRRRR

  1. RHYTHM TA by iKON

Another upbeat kpop song!! This song is also on my workout playlist because of how upbeat it is and how it makes my heart beat faster. I feel like at this point, I just need songs that raise my heartrate to help make me productive.

  1. Out In Space by DGHTR

I found this song on a study playlist on Spotify and immediately fell in love with how mellow it was. The song makes me feel like I’m floating out in space with my laptop, writing papers like crazy. It’s a relaxing song but not too relaxing that makes me fall asleep.

These are my top 5 songs for homework, not in any particular order. I’d love to get some song recommendations for more music to listen to when I need to be productive!
