For some students, the first few weeks of school may feel nerve-wracking. Adjusting to new schedules, classmates or even being in the college setting for the first time can sometimes make you need an extra push. For those days that you need some high-energy songs to hype yourself up as you walk through campus, consider adding these to your playlist:

Balloon
Tyler, The Creator (ft. Doechii)
Closing out his newest record “CHROMAKOPIA,” Tyler, The Creator and Doechii teamed up to deliver a spirited track that screams confidence through its lyrics. Reflecting back on his success, the song ‘airs out’ Tyler’s distaste for making connections with shallow people in the music industry.

DOUBT IT
Chase Atlantic
The third single “DOUBT IT” released prior to Chase Atlantic’s newest album “LOST IN HEAVEN,” uses lyrical references to the band’s extensive discography with a trap-inspired beat, creating an addictive track that incorporates rap influences into alternative sounds and lyrics.

Super Graphic Ultra Modern Girl
Chappell Roan
Keeping on the theme of feminine power throughout her debut album “The Rise And Fall of a Midwest Princess,” this song plays out Roan’s decision to drop dating men who do not do enough to please her. She later begins pursuing relationships with women that she felt had what it took to be with her.

A.M.P.
Movements
This track dives into a story centered around a fictional character that uses the attention they receive from people to their advantage. In an interview with Messed!Up Magazine, lead
singer Patrick Miranda says that the song was inspired by the popular HBO show “Euphoria,” with the thematic influence coming through in the lyrics of the song.

Jesus
Young Culture (ft. Daisy Grenade)
Delivering a very classic
pop-punk song with its rapid instrumentals and lyrical disses to an ex, Young Culture and Daisy Grenade combine both feminine and masculine vocals to tell the story of an on-and-off relationship between frontman Alex Magnan and a partner he just can’t seem to let go of.

She’s A God
Neck Deep
A deep cut from Neck Deep’s
discography, this 2019 single is an oldie but a goodie. It follows frontman Ben Barlow’s infatuation with his romantic partner, worshipping her in a similar way one would a god or deity. Despite the fact that, as he sings in the second verse, “she’s nothing like Jesus.”
