As someone who listens to a variety of music in English and Spanish, the perks of being bilingual, my taste is all over the place. There are songs that I haven’t listen too for a long time and others that play non-stop. So, I decided to put one of my playlists on shuffle and listen to the first 10 songs. Here are my ten songs:
1. Little Things by One Direction
Oh, boy. This brings back all the feels. I was in love with this song and still am. Every single verse made me feel as if the guys were singing it just for me. I was a big One Direction fan back then.
2. I hate u, I love you by Gnash Ft. Olivia O’Brien
This makes me think about how people can’t let go of that person that once meant the world to them. even if that love was never reciprocated the feelings are still there. It’s a heart vs head battle, that many of us have had.
3. Who says by Selena Gomez
Selena has always been inspirational to me. This song is an anthem for girls who are always compared to others or told they can’t achieve their dreams. As a thirteen year- old, I was going through many changes and often was compared to other girls. It allowed me to understand that I only needed to be me to be happy.
4. Don’t Stop the Music by Rihanna
Throwback Thursday! Wait, it’s not Thursday yet. Who cares! I remember blasting it all the time and still do from time to time.
5. Mi Gente by J Balvin
The moment this song came on, my sisters rush into the room dancing and shouting “Party, party!” After, constantly hearing it on the radio I got tired of it and avoided it at all costs. But guess what, I started dancing and singing with my sisters like there’s no tomorrow.
6. One Way or Another by One Direction
I immediately stop the song on my phone and played it on YouTube. You can’t listen to this song without watching the video, it’s the most hilarious and cute thing ever. Told ya I was a big one direction fan.
7. Sorry Not Sorry by Demi Lovato
Whenever I want to feel empowered, I listen to this song and feel badass. Demi has given me the confidence that I’ve wanted to for a long time and I thank her for that. To anyone who wants to feel extra confident. Here’s a tip: put on a killer outfit and match it with red lipstick and as you get ready, listen to this. It’s going to brighten up your day and make you unstoppable.
8. Gravity by Alex and Sierra
Don’t get me wrong, I love Sara Bareilles (the original singer). But the way that Alex and Sierra sing it gives you chills. Their back and forth singing makes it so powerful and intimate. You guys should check them out.
9. A Thousand Year by Christina Perri
This song makes me want to waltz around my room. I remember watching Twilight’s Breaking Dawn movie and falling in love with the melody as I heard it. Yes, I loved Twilight. From that day on, I promised myself that I was going to dance this song on my wedding day. I might break that promise when that day comes.
10. Solita by Ozuna
Nowadays, Spanish trap has become very popular. I’ve had this song on repeat and I tried my best to sing it but fail miserably. If you want to listen to something new, I suggest you give Spanish trap a try.
Not once I have I written about any songs on my playlist, so this was something new. Indeed, my taste in music is all over the place but I couldn’t have it any other way. Each song I have has had a different on me. Some make me feel empowered or sentimental, while others make me want to party 24/7. Music makes me happy and it has no boundaries.
