We’re nearing the end of September, which means that summer is pretty much over. But don’t let the darker nights and dropping temperatures affect your mood too much – we’ve got another selection of great songs to keep you going this week.
#MondayMotivation
Jungle – Busy Earnin’
It’s been around a year since this song was first released, but it’s still the song that’s guaranteed to get your week off to a productive start. Even if you’re not earning while at uni, you’ll definitely be busy doing other things – like going to lectures and, er, napping. And nobody can get enough of that.
So you come a long way
But you’ll never have me
Never have things for a normal life
It’s time to busy earnin’
You can’t get enough
This busy earnin’
You can’t get enough
Tuesday
Years and Years – Worship
Years and Years have featured on our playlists before, and for good reason – they keep delivering songs you can’t help but like. Worship will keep your spirits up and make Tuesday fly by.
I worship high praises
My longing drives me crazy for you
My kingdom for your graces
I’m not gonna tell nobody
I’m not gonna tell nobody ’bout you
I’m not gonna tell nobody ’bout you
Wednesday
Wolf Alice – You’re A Germ
Happy hump day! You’re halfway through the week, so shake off any mid-week grumpiness by singing along to this bizarre but brilliant Wolf Alice track.
George, he rides a bike
To pick her up from school
He likes her cos she’s pure
She likes him cos she’s heard he’s cool
You’re a germ, twist my insides
You’re a germ, we hear the fight
Thursday
The Pussycat Doll – Don’t Cha
Take a break from uploading those photos that are ‘sooooo old and embarrassing’ (a.k.a. photos that were taken in March) and enjoy your #ThrowbackThursday through your speakers today. Long before she became known for flings with Ed Sheeran and seductively eating yoghurts, Nicole Scherzy was in a little group you may have heard of called The Pussycat Dolls. Don’t Cha was the anthem for girls everywhere that were hot, fun and raw (which was apparently a good thing).
I know you like me (I know you like me)
I know you do (I know you do)
That’s why whenever I come around
She’s all over you
And I know you want it (I know you want it)
It’s easy to see (it’s easy to see)
And in the back of your mind I know
You should be on with me
Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me?
Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?
Don’t cha? Don’t cha?
Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was raw like me?
Don’t cha wish your girlfriend was fun like me?
Don’t cha? Don’t cha?
Friday
Selena Gomez (feat. A$AP Rocky) – Good For You
If you’re heading out for date night tonight, then this is the song for you. Following in the footsteps of other Disney-odeon starlets like Miley and Ariana, Selena Gomez has gone through a little urban reinvention by collaborating with rapper, A$AP Rocky – and the result is this sultry track.
Not going on a date tonight? Don’t worry, you can sing this to the various snacks you’ve got on your sofa.
Gonna wear that dress you like, skin-tight
Do my hair up real, real nice
And syncopate my skin to your heart beating
‘Cause I just wanna look good for you, good for you, uh-huh
I just wanna look good for you, good for you, uh-huh
Let me show you how proud I am to be yours
Leave this dress a mess on the floor
And still look good for you, good for you, uh-huh
Saturday Night
Martin Solveig (feat GTA) – Intoxicated
What could be more apt for a Saturday night out than this catchy house track? The lyrics are also super easy to remember, which is handy if you too find yourself intoxicated by love (or Jagerbombs).
Let’s dance
No time for romance
Let’s dance
No time for romance
You got me intoxicated
You got me intoxicated
You got me intoxicated
You got me intoxicated
Sunday
Drake – Hotline Bling
Whether you’re recovering from the night before or feeling fresh as a daisy, Sundays still call for some chilled music. Released around the same time as the hard-hitting Meek Mill diss track Back to Back, Drake goes back to his softer, reminiscing roots with Hotline Bling.
You used to call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
Call me on my cell phone
Late night when you need my love
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
I know when that hotline bling
That can only mean one thing
