August favorite songs

Hello, everybody! It’s no secret that we love music, that’s why we decided to write a post about our August favorite songs. Note: they’re not necessarily new, they’re what we’ve been listening to lately.

Just A Little Bit Of Your Heart – Ariana Grande

Not gonna lie, Gee wanted to listen to this song just for the fact that Harry Styles wrote it. And let us tell ya, IT IS AMAZING. Our fave from Ariana’s new album, My Everything. Her voice is perfect for this song, it gives you goosebumps and all that jazz, really. (Ariana said Harry recorded a demo for this song, WE NEED IT IN OUR LIVES NOW. Please and thank you).

Anaconda – Nicki Minaj

We’ve been singing this for the last couple of days since we watched Nicki performing it at the VMAs. It’s really catchy and a good song for jammin’. We know, we know, it might be a little explicit, but you can’t deny it, it’s a fun song! Oh my gosh, look at her butt! Hahahaha

Bang Bang – Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj 

This song, performed by 3 of the best ladies in the industry, doesn’t even need to be explained! With Jessie’s & Ari’s powerful voices and Nicki’s swag, we get the best of both worlds in one freaking song. BANG BANG INTO THE ROOM, I KNOW YOU WANT IT!

I’m a Rapper – Marcus Butler

So, we’ve mentioned this guy before. And this song, too. Even though it’s been a while since it was released (along the video), we sing it on a daily basis, no joke. Every time someone says “money”, we break into the song and start jamming. ‘Cause there’s no point in denying it, IT IS OUR JAM haha.

Chandelier – Sia

Sia is a music industry genius, enough said. She’s written most of the latest hits for a lot of artists, and she’s not far behind as a solo artist. Did you know she was going to give this song to Rihanna? Then, she decided to keep it: wise decision. And the video to the song, OMG! Simply amazing, the whole concept will blow your mind. 

Don’t Let Me Go – Harry Styles 

Leaked or not, this song is perfection. It’s no secret that Harry is an incredibly talented young man and, even though he sounds great whilst singing with his mates in One Direction, only listening to his voice in this one is just asdfghjkl. Plus, it’s so beautiful written it should be recorded soon tbh. *hint, hint, 1D* Kudos to Mr. Styles!

Boom Clap – Charli XCX 

Who doesn’t like a good love song? It just happens that this is not your typical love song. With Charli’s style, Boom Clap is a really cool song. Besides, it’s in TFIOS soundtrack. Couldn’t be better!

Close As Strangers – 5 Seconds of Summer

If you’ve read our posts, you probably know that we love these Aussies by now. So, anything unexpected. Breaks our hearts every single time we listen to it, but we just can’t stop. And we won’t stop. (Miley, anyone? hahaha) Voices are on point, instruments sound perfect as usual, there’s no reason why you shouldn’t love it! 

Flawless – Beyoncé

Queen B, that’s it. Hahaha. It’s impossible not to love her or her songs! Again, after watching the VMAs, it got stucked in our brains. I WOKE UP LIKE THIS. You can see this everywhere, shirts, beanies, mugs, stickers; name it and it will be on it. And, did anyone see Blue Ivy’s dancing skills?! Too cute not to mention. 

Pretty Hurts – Beyoncé

Another by Queen B. She slays, really, as always. This one was written by Sia (told ya, she’s a genius) and it talks about inner beauty being more important than anything. Beyoncé’s vocals are perf for the song. Round of applause, please!

Break Free – Ariana Grande ft. Zedd 

This EDM vibe and Ariana’s voice are the perfect combo! Besides, lyrics are on point: “I only wanna die alive, never by the hands of a broken heart”, we all want that. And “this is the part when I say I don’t want ya, I’m stronger than I’ve been before”. It’s definitely the independent girl anthem you’ve been waiting for!

One Way or Another (Cover) – One Direction

Maybe it’s because that song is Gee’s alarm tone, but it’s always in our heads. Let’s accept it, the video is amazeballs and extremely funny! A smile is plastered on our faces every time we watch it and it will never get old. Even our guy friend said it was “nice” and coming from him, it is definitely a good one hahaha, trust us. 

Shake It Off – Taylor Swift

From the lyrics to the VMAs performance; this song makes you wanna dance. And you definitely do it, even if you are not THAT good at it hahaha. It’s great to see Taylor Swift’s new era after all the success she achieved as a country artist and we’re sure the best is yet to come for this girl. Our favorite part of the song and video? MY EX-MAN BROUGHT HIS NEW GIRLFRIEND,SHE’S LIKE “OH MY GOD”, BUT I’M JUST GONNA SHAKE IT. AND TO THE FELLA OVER THERE WITH THE HELLA GOOD HAIR, WON’T YOU COME OVER, WE CAN SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE. Hahaha. The cheerleader-ish part is a cool touch tbh.

Shower – Becky G

We’re dancing in the mirror, singing in the shower, la da di, la da da, la da da. We love Becky G, and the fact that she’s latina and she’s smashing it make us really really proud of her! This single of her is another love and cheesy song. CUTE! 

End Up Here – 5 Seconds of Summer

Man, the feelings for this song are endless! We love everything about it. If you have read our review on 5SOS debut album, then you know it. But if you haven’t, you can find it here. We’re in love with the lyrics, message, backing vocals, instruments, tempo & volume changes: literally EVERYTHING! Thanks Lukey, Cal, Mikey & Ash for making such a great song. 

English Love Affair – 5 Seconds of Summer

Don’t ask why, just go listen to it and you’ll understand the reason why we love this song SO much! It’s just that there’s something dark about it and it’s not that easy to explain. 

Wanna hear these songs?! Here's our playlist:
