Vibing. Noun turned verb. “Vibing” is when you just hang out with friends and listen to music. No matter what mood I’m in, there is always a song to fit my current situation. Whether we want to sing along to throwback hits of the early 2000s, jam to current hits, or chill out together on the couch, there is always the perfect playlist to vibe to. Here are my top 5 vibing songs this year!

1. “Call on Me” by Starley & Ryan Riback: This song is a great pick me up. It has an upbeat tune and instantly puts you into a good mood!
2. “September Song” by JP Cooper: A catchy ballad that will be stuck in your head for days.
3. “Rewind” by Wingtip and Sophie Strauss: The perfect “vibing” song. It’s great to listen to when relaxing on the couch. A pre-nap song if you will.
4. “Heartbeat” by MacKenzie Bourg: This is your typical love song. It has a sappy air to it, but will make any girl swoon.
5. “Current Location” by Lany: There is no other way to describe this song other than chill. It’s an extremely calming song with a captivating melody.

I hope you take a listen to some of these songs and like them as much as I do. I really believe music is the one thing in this world that can truly connect people. It’s the universal language that unites us all. Hopefully you enjoy some of these songs and check out other songs by these artists!
