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

These songs are for the girl who doesn’t discriminate when it comes to music genres, and here are 13 songs I’ve recently fallen in love with that I hope you love, too!

 

1. “The Middle” – Zedd

This song has become very popular recently, and it’s the perfect song to play while you get ready to go out after a long week. It definitely gets you excited to have some well deserved fun with your friends.

2. “Mardy Bum” – Arctic Monkeys

With a great guitar piece at the beginning, listening to this song makes me happy; and to be honest, Alex Turner’s accent makes it even more enjoyable.

3. “By Design” – Kid Cudi

This song has an amazing beat, and after a few listens, you’re sure to fall in love with Kid Cudi if you haven’t already.

4. “Flashlight” – The Front Bottoms

The Front Bottoms are one of my favorite rock bands. If you like this song, then I know you’ll be as obsessed with their music as I am.

5. “No One” – Mothica

This girly song is another great listen and should surely be added to your pregame playlist; the chorus gets me every time.

6. “Love Galore” – SZA

SZA’s voice is angelic. Need I say more?

7. “Funny Face” – Red Hot Chili Peppers

I recently stumbled upon this gem and couldn’t be happier. The Red Hot Chili Peppers never fail to make catchy, amazing, funky songs. While listening to this song, I imagine myself sitting on the beach in the middle of July with my best friends.

8. “Season 2 Episode 3” – Glass Animals

This is my absolute favorite song by the Glass Animals. This psychedelic pop/indie rock band creates some extremely addicting tracks, not to mention their smooth vocals and crazy lyrics will keep you entertained all day.

9. “Electric” – Alina Baraz (feat. Khalid)

This relaxing song is great to listen to as you unwind after a long day. Khalid is also featured in this song, so how could anyone not love it?

10. “Would You Ever” – Skrillex and Poo Bear

This upbeat song is another that I would add to a party or pregame playlist. It’s sure to get you in the mood to have some fun.

11. “Me & U” – Waveless

This song doesn’t have any lyrics, but the track is lively. I could see myself adding this song to a study playlist.

12. “I Want You” – Marian Hill

Marian has an awesome voice, and every time I hear the shaking paint can in the background I get excited.

13. “Light” – San Holo

This is a perfect song! I could definitely see myself dancing to this song at a huge party.

I hope these songs make you dance as much as they made me!
