Although I am not the biggest fan or believer of astrology, there’s no denying the appeal of zodiac-based quizzes and recommendations. They’re such a fun way to think about ourselves and learn about new interests and hobbies. So, here are a few song recommendations you should listen to based on your sign:
Hot girl anthems for all the blazing fire signs:
- The show-stopping “Treat Me” for all my fellow Leos
-
Chlöe’s “Treat Me” is a vocally brilliant, over-the-top song that encapsulates every confident Leo. Although it’s currently just known as the spoiled little sister of Chloe’s debut hit “Have Mercy,” there’s no denying that she was born for the spotlight.
- The inspirational “Starstruck” for every adventurous Sagittarius
-
“Starstruck” by Years & Years is a groovy, upbeat song with a music video to match. The singer dances alone and in celebration of themself and, if there’s anything I know about Sagittarius, it’s that they love independence and excitement.
- CHIKA’s “FWB” for the trailblazing Aries
-
Beyond her gorgeous vocals and fire rhythm, CHIKA is known for being a staunch advocate for inclusivity and challenging damaging perceptions of body image, race and gender. Similarly, Aries individuals are known as leaders and courageous people willing to make a change. Kiana Ledé’s “Mad At Me.” is another underrated song that totally suits this fire sign with the lyrics “I’m up on my Aries” and “fire pit, you keep dancin’ around me” from another independent woman making her mark on the industry.
Moving melodies for every soothing water sign:
- Wendy’s “Like Water” for every emotionally-attuned Pisces
-
This melodic kpop ballad can make even those who don’t speak Korean emotional, so you should definitely grab your tissues for this one, Pisces. And, of course, it’s got water in the name, so it was over for all the other candidates I considered. (I thought about doing “Fire” by BTS for the Leo recommendation for similar reasons, but there’s nothing about that song that screams underrated.)
- Faouzia’s “Hero” for every protective Cancer
-
Cancers are known for being protective and compassionate, but also not irrational in love. They expect the same generosity they give out, just as Faouzia does as she sings about being a hero to her lover and expecting reciprocity.
- The R&B “Truth Is” for all you dedicated Scorpios
-
Sabrina Claudio’s emotional confession to her lover embodies everything I’ve read about the passionate and truthful Scorpios. This water sign despises manipulation and beating around the bush and much prefers having all their feelings on the table for the recipient to see.
While these may not be totally accurate given my unfamiliarity with astrology, these are all great songs to expand your musical taste beyond your typical genres and mainstream TikTok hits. Hopefully you found at least one song to add to your playlist whether it was listed under your sign or not. Stay tuned for part two with the rest of the signs.
