10 Of The Most Underrated Songs According To Me
Fanpop.com

We all have our own taste in music, but most of us are familiar with the current top 40 hits. Though there are some of us that think it's cool to exclusively jam to those, most of us have some hidden gems on our Apple Music playlists. Here are some of my favorite songs that I think are horribly underrated or forgotten.


1. "Womanizer" - Britney Spears

This song falls under both categories, underrated AND forgotten. This 2008 chart-topper was one of my favorite songs, complete with a sexy and controversial video. The more experience I've had in life, the more I think that this song is so relevant and everyone should be singing it all the time. Forget the term F***boy; we need to bring back Womanizer (and it sounds nicer).


2. "Smoke Filled Room" - Mako

Underrated is an understatement. Even though many people can be instantly turned off when I say that it's EDM, please give it a chance. It is the song you didn't know you needed in your life and it has a perfect balance of dance and romance, not to mention that it is perfect to blast in a car on a date. Wink.


3. "Coffee" - Miguel

I have said it once and I will say it again. Miguel is one of the most underrated artists of the present day. His music is equally as romantic as it is sexy, and this song is a perfect example. Coffee is one of those songs that you listen to on repeat when you first think you're in love and you think of all that could be if things work out. The best part of the entire song is the chorus when he sings,

"Wordplay, turns into gun play
And gun play turns into pillow talk
And pillow talk turns into sweet dreams
Sweet dreams turns into [coffee] in the morning"

Like, come on. Just listen to it. I promise you won't regret it.


4. "In My Room" - Yellow Claw & DJ Mustard (feat. Ty Dolla $ign & Tyga)

OH. MY. GOSH. Another wildly underrated song. If you don't think this is the best jam in the history of ever, you're wrong. This song will, without a doubt, make every cell in your body come alive and want to get off your lazy butt to dance from start to finish. If there is any song on this list that I could force you to listen to, it would be this one. We need to get this one in the clubs ASAP because you better believe that everyone will be raving. It sparked by love of trap music and I bet it'll do the same for you.


5. "Ocean Drive" - Duke Dumont

Driving at night is one of the most relaxing things I have done, and this song goes together with that like peas and carrots. This is one of the most chill songs I have heard in a long time. Keep slaying, Duke.


6. "Liquor" - Chris Brown

I have to say, Breezy's newest album, titled "Royalty" after his daughter, is FIRE. "Liquor" was the first single from the album released last June and I think it has been overlooked as perhaps one of his best songs yet. Sexy, sultry, and slow, "Liquor" is definitely a song to add to your ... nighttime ... playlist ;)


7. "Gooey" - Glass Animals

Probably the strangest song you will ever listen to, Gooey is one of the best. Also a great selection for the bedroom playlist, this song features some interesting noises accompanied by words that make no sense, but that's the beauty of it. The words don't matter; it's the feeling the song gives to the room it is played in that makes it great.


8. "Make U Love Me" - Robin Thicke

Don't laugh. Robin Thicke is actually amazing. I tend to be biased toward sexy music, but this is one of my favorites because it is in anticipation of sex. The title says it all because it is about him wanting to entice his lover to make it impossible for them to leave because they fall in love with his ... abilities.


9. "No Hands" - Waka Flocka Flame (feat. Roscoe Dash & Wale)

This song was unfortunately one of the forgotten. If I don't hear this in a club at some point in my life, I will have failed. This is easily one of the easiest songs to get down to, so I beg any DJs to please keep this alive.


10. "Lapdance" - N.E.R.D.

If you have ever heard this song, you know that it is as ridiculous as it sounds, but that's what makes it awesome. It's one of the most danceable songs I have encountered because you can just move your body randomly and it totally works with the song. Excellent job to everyone involved in this one.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
