Choose songs with a steady, calm beat to help you work or study. Studies show that music can enhance memory and help you concentrate. Instrumental tracks or music with minimal lyrics work best to keep you focused. 


Add lo-fi tracks like “It’s Going to Be a Good Day” by ocha and “Roam” by Leavv to your playlist. You can also listen to classical or ambient music like “Sea of Doors” (A Space for the Unbound) by Masdito Bachtiar.

House Party Hits

Make your party playlist a hit with famous dance tunes.

Pick lively, catchy songs for your home party playlist. Mix in current hits with classic party anthems. Your playlist should create a fun atmosphere that will keep everyone in high spirits all night long. 


Start off with EDM hits like "Miracle" by Calvin Harris (featuring Ellie Goulding) and "Saving Up" by Dom Dolla. Follow it up with pop hits like "Houdini" by Dua Lipa and "Water" by Tyla. You can also add hip-hop songs like "Bongos" by Cardi B (featuring Megan Thee Stallion) and "Yea Yea" by Lady London (with Dreezy) for an added energy boost.

Sunday Chill-Out Tracks

Select relaxing and soft tunes for a slow Sunday. Go for acoustic, jazz, or easy-listening genres. Your playlist should help you create a laid-back vibe for a restful end to your weekend. 


You can also pick music based on your routine. Spending time with your parents? Create a playlist full of oldies but goodies like "Feeling Good" by Nina Simone, "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green, and "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac. Enjoying your "me" time? Unwind while listening to acoustic covers by Emily Watts and Jasmine Thompson.

Sleep-Inducing Melodies

Listen to slow music as you prepare for bed.

Look for songs with gentle rhythms and minimal lyrics to help you relax and drift off, like instrumental music or ambient sounds. The Sleep Foundation recommends choosing songs with a tempo of 60 to 80 beats per minute, which mimics a relaxed heart rate and prompts your body to sync to it.


Start your playlist with ambient music like “Weightless” by Marconi Union to help you doze off. A team of neuroscientists at Mindlab International dubbed this eight-minute track as “the most relaxing song in the world.” You can also check out classical pieces like “Gymnopédie No. 1” by Erik Satie and “Claire de Lune” by Claude Debussy.
