What is the best way to start your mornings? Some say with a cup of coffee, some say with a run. I say with the perfect playlist to hype you up. Below, I have listed a select group of songs that stay in my rotation and get my days started right.
- “Passionfruit” by Drake
This 2017 hit has a tropical house bass line that is irresistible. This song will get you out of bed.
- “Suncity” by Khalid ft. Empress Of
Khalid refers to missing home in this song, where he left his heart. The rhythmic guitar motif is catchy and leads you through the vocals gently.
- “Heaven Can Wait” by Michael Jackson
This classic makes me want to get up and start my day. Jackson says, “you’re beautiful, you’re wonderful” and what’s a better affirmation to hear in the morning?
This song is about “money on the way”, and describes a lavish life. When this one comes on, I imagine all the money that will find its way to me.
- “Dilemma” by Nelly ft. Kelly Rowland
Some R&B is always a necessity in the morning, and this amazing duo’s song is a perfect example.Â
- “Lost” by Frank Ocean
This song has an upbeat vibe, despite the rather melancholy topic. If nothing else, it makes me feel seen, as we are all a little lost sometimes.
- “LOVE. FEAT. ZACARI.” by Kendrick Lamar ft. Zacari
It’s not hard to figure out what this song is about… love. I use this song as a chance to slow down in my morning and remember what I’m grateful for.
- “It Was A Good Day” by Ice Cube
In this song, Ice Cube is surprised how well his day turns out by the end. It’s a good reminder to take notice of the little things that make you happy throughout your day.Â
- “Won’t Be Late” by Swae Lee ft. Drake
To round out my playlist, as I head out the door I need a reminder that I “Won’t Be Late”.Â
