21 Songs that got me through 2021

If you are looking to add to your playlist, start organizing your Spotify wrapped or just need new music recommendations – look no further. As a Gen-Z college student, my music taste is constantly evolving and I find comfort in finding new music. Whether your year was amazing, crazy or you are just ready for a fresh start, I hope these songs can change your mood for the better. 

I have curated this playlist with seven upbeat songs, seven mellow songs and seven “just because I like this” songs. I will state that some of these songs will be in Spanish, so don’t knock them until you listen to them. Who would I be if I didn’t include my culture in the mix? 

7 songs for when you want to dance, sing, or get ready for a night out. 

  1. Get Into it (Yuh) – Doja Cat 
  2. Racecar (feat. Clairo, Coco & Clair Clair) – Deaton Chris Anthony
