"Flowers" by Miley Cyrus

Sometimes, all we need is self-love, and Miley Cyrus reminds us that it's not a bad thing to love ourselves. In fact, we can be happier from the practice. Flowers has been on repeat for most people since its release, with the usual rumours hinting at the song's lyrics dedicated to the artist's previous lover Liam Hemsworth, another controversy takes on the front page.

"Watch The World Burn" by Falling In Reverse

It seems impossible to combine five music genres in one song, right? Sit down, put on your headphones, and listen to how Falling In Reverse does it perfectly. Watch The World Burn is an art that will give you chills with its smooth transitions from rap to rock, punk to metal, and hardcore.

With their heavenly voices, the collaboration of the two prominent music artists in the industry is one to die for.
