I had a job interview today and if there's anything I know, the right songs can help you feel ready and confident for anything. Here's a few I had in mind:
"Only Angel" by Harry Styles

I may be biased, but Harry Styles is my favorite human being. However this song can really getcha jammin — I had it on repeat all day if I'm 100% honest with you.
"Humble" by Kendrick Lamar

Need i say more? Kendrick is a great hype artist. I recommend most of his songs, to be quite honest. An honorable mention is King Kunta off his album "To Pimp a Butterfly."
"Thunderstruck" by AC/DC
https://www.allmusic.com/album/the-razors-edge-mw0000690074
Yeah, my music taste is a little all over the place. My goal is to have something for everyone though! They play this song at all my school's home football games.
"Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/jazz/930190906
I think this one is a no brainer.
"Power" by Kanye West
https://www.deezer.com/en/track/7667059
If you skip this one because of how weird Kanye has been lately, I completely understand. I also heavily debated adding this one because I've been trying to listen to him less and less, but this song is literally called "Power," so it was definitely fitting.
"Freedom" by Beyonce

Basically all of Beyonce's "Lemonade" would be appropriate for this.
"All We Got" by Chance the Rapper
https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&source=images&cd=&ved=2ahUKEwiyhYuRu93gAhXJiFQKHQAPDCwQjB16BAgBEAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fsoundcloud.com%2Fchancetherapper%2Fsets%2Fcoloring-book&psig=AOvVaw1KFsLFgcyKoL6UcJfKBDct&ust=1551410097095140
I have listened to Chance's album "Coloring Book" so much that I truly never get sick of it.
"Loving is Easy" by Rex Orange County
https://twitter.com/rexorangecounty/status/918480286895300611
This song makes me happy when truly nothing else can. I promise it can fix anything.
"Happily" by One Direction
https://itunes.apple.com/us/album/midnight-memories-deluxe-edition/695318295
You really thought I would put a Harry song first and not do a One Direction song? Nah, man.
"High Hopes" by Panic! at the Disco
https://www.axs.com/panic-at-the-disco-give-fans-high-hopes-with-new-single-130574
If you're not sick of this song, (I certainly am not) then I highly recommend it for anytime when you need some hype.
"Rollercoaster" by Bleachers
https://genius.com/Bleachers-rollercoaster-lyrics
This song off Bleacher's album, "Strange Desire," is perfect for any hype up needs.
"Tongue Tied" by Grouplove
https://genius.com/Grouplove-tongue-tied-lyrics
This song has the capabilities to hype you up for any occasion. Sorry, I don't make the rules.
"High Horse" by Kacey Musgraves
https://www.amazon.com/Golden-Hour/dp/B07B3GH75W
Had to add this one for all of you country listeners out there.
"Don't Rain on my Parade" by Barbra Streisand (from Funny Girl)
https://www.cdandlp.com/en/barbra-streisand/funny-girl/cd/r117051851/
How could anything truly get you down after listening to this song?
