1. Natalia Kills- Saturday Night

The slow build, the cathartic lyrics, the power-house vocals, I will love this song until the day I die. I can't even tell you how many nights in college I found myself standing on a couch with a tequila shot in hand and homegirls by my side, all of us singing screaming every lyric to this song with the passion and commitment of a pissed-off Janis Joplin. I never thought I'd find something on this earth that I love more than french fries but "Saturday Night" comes close.

Best Lyric: I'm a f*cking teenage tragedy.



2. Bebe Rexha- I'm Gonna Show You Crazy

I love that the beginning of this song is pretty calm. It's like a new girlfriend you haven't fought with yet. You love that she's chill, and loves the Walking Dead, and eats pizza with your friends and drinks a lot of beer. Then the chorus drops, and SURPRISE THAT GIRL IS FAKE. I know this because I am that girl. But then again, aren't we all!?!

Best Lyric: So what if I'm f*cking crazy



3. Kali Uchis- Ridin' Round (ft. Troy Lanez)(Oshi Redo)

This is a jam and a-f*cking-half of a song, y'all! I feel like it is the type of bo$$ b*tch anthem that the ladies of Broad City would vibe to. (basically the highest praise I can give to be honest.)

Best Lyric: F*ck me over, I'll f*ck you worse



4. Terror Jr.- Sugar

Fun piece of trivia: Rumor has it this band was gonna name themselves after Donald Trump Jr. originally. But then they decided "Terror Jr." was more catchy and basically the same thing anyway.

Best Lyric: I ain't a model, you ain't no GQ / I guess we hit the f*cking lotto



5. DAGNY- Backbeat

The punchy drums and faded electric guitar blend perfectly together and the underlying ballad-style piano slabs round the whole tune out. But WARNING, ladies!! Do NOT search the term "DAGNY" on Google Images. Here's the first row of results:


Each one of those photos will 100 percent haunt my nightmares tonight. Especially that she-devil holding the oboe and glaring into my soul!! Hands down the worst one, even though the chick on the far right straight up has her t*ts cut off.

Best Lyric: Don’t let the speed of sound leave you feeling paralyzed



6. Annabel Jones- IOU

Moral of this song: If you date Annabel Jones, she will have no time for your whiny, psycho bullsh*t. The sassiness of "IOU" reminds me of other British ladies such as Kate Nash and Chloe Howl. We're not at a Lily Allen level of sassy yet, but there's still time! Maybe on the next single.

Best Lyric: You nearly went mad, so I cut your ass loose



7. FRANKIE- New Obsession

I just LOVE songs that make you feel wayyyy cooler than you actually are (ex. this song, "All Hands on Deck" by Tinashe, basically any Missy Elliot track, the list goes on). "New Obsession" makes me feel like I'm cruising down a sun-kissed highway in my baby blue convertible with the Na'vi chick from "Avatar" and Pennsatucky from OITNB—aka it makes me feel like B.Spears in her film debut "Crossroads."

Best Lyric:I got the tricks if you want to lock lips / I got the moves if you want to come cruise



8. Sara Hartman- Two Feet Off The Ground

This song rocks, ladies. It's the type of self-assured, catchy, fem-pop anthem that your boyfriend will say he hates but that he secretly croons when he thinks no one is around. It's the type of song that you'll SCREECH in the shower until the sun goes down—or until your landlord gets so many noise complaints that he is contractually obligated to tell you to STFU—whichever comes first.

Best Lyric: Chemicals they spin me 'round (pretty sure that's just a subtle, classy way of saying "I'm on drugs right now," but I dig nonetheless)



9. Zara Larsson- Uncover (Tobu Bootleg)

Filing this under: Songs to soundtrack either that last seasonal trip to the beach or those white-wine-and-svedka-shot-fueled pregames of your first weekends back on campus. All around A+ remix happening here.

Best Lyric: When the world gives heavy burdens / I can bear a thousand tons



10. FLETCHER- War Paint

The rumbling drums here give off a tribal, concrete-jungle feel that's perfect for any outdoor festivity and, honestly, you're doing a disservice to your friends if you don't put this on your "Ladies be Pregaming" playlist for the weekend. The anthemic chorus comes around and I automatically feel connected and bonded to all my homegirls out there (even that one b*tch who manages to look flawless after SoulCycle).

Best Lyric: I like the way you feel in the flames of the candle



11. Rebecca & Fiona- Sayonara (Speaker of the House Remix)

With it's tropical vibes and underlaying layer of Spanish guitar, this track makes me feel like I'm on the beaches of Barcelona. Sure, it's pretty painful to listen to them rhyme "Sayonara" with "tomorr-yah" but, hey, no song's perfect.

Best Lyric: F*ck the world (took the words right out of my mouth with that one, Beccs and Fi)



12. Bebe Black- I'll Wait

Ugh, this song gets me feeling all the ~feels~ every damn time. If you're mid-heartbreak right now, this one's for you to put on as you bury your head (and sorrows) in a pint (okay, fine, 4 pints) of Ben & Jerry's.

Best Lyric: I wanna feel the broken shells and let them cut my toes

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.

What's up Asshat,

I've composed a list of things that I wish upon you, and they're harsh and cruel. These things are things that I wouldn't wish upon my worst of enemies, not even that Starbuck's barista who always screws up my order, not even him. You fall into a whole other category of hate. You surpass Starbucks barista. Congratulations, I'm actually a pretty nice person, making you worthy of every single bit of torture I wish upon you. What are these things I wish upon you you might ask?
