Pumped Up Playlist

Sure, not everyone is enthusiastic about having thousands of playlists with hundreds of songs, one playlist of rocking beats never hurt anyone!

But this can't be just any playlist! You need something to pump you up, whether it be for a workout, studying, or just to get your spirits out of the ditch!

• Fight Song by Rachel Platten

• Raise your Glass by P!nk

• Praying by Kesha

  If you're like me and don't ever keep up with current events, you may be looking at this and thinking, "Kesha? Like, Tic Tok??" and pass this one up without a second thought. Let me assure you that this is actually a powerful song, talking about breaking free from someone who has been keeping you down for a long, long time.

• Shout Out to My Ex by Little Mix

• NO by Meghan Trainor

• Wake Me Up by Avicii

• Worth It by Fifth Harmony

• Most Girls by Hailee Steinfeld

• Battle Scars by Paradise Fears

  This has been a favorite song of mine for a while now, and it has been with me for years. This is the song I listen to when I feel like I just can't keep going; like I'm going to have to give up everything because it's just too hard for me. It shares that everyone has battle scars, a few kinks in the armor, and that's okay. You're still strong, and you can keep going.

• Wings by Little Mix

• Party Like You’re Single by Stephen Jerzak

• This Is Me by Kesha

  Yes, another Kesha song. This was part of The Greatest Showman and has another extremely influencing message to listeners: be proud of who you are. Don't let anyone tear you down, blind them with your colors, and don't say sorry for who you are.

• High Hopes by Panic! At The Disco

• Bang Bang by Jessie J, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj

• Sugar, We’re Going Down by Fall Out Boy

• Tonight, Tonight by Hot Chelle Rae

• Voodoo Doll by 5 Seconds of Summer
• Colors by Jason Derulo

Here's where the list diverges into more Broadway musical rather than normal songs; however, these still get me jamming, so I just had to add them into the mix!

• Non-Stop from Hamilton: An American Musical

• Farmer Refuted from Hamilton: An American Musical

• What The Heck I Gotta Do from 21 Chump Street

• Upgrade from Be More Chill

• Waving Through A Window from Dear Evan Hansen

• Freedom by Anthony Ramos

  Yes, I know this isn't technically a song from any musical but it is sung by Anthony Ramos: an amazing ray of sunshine I found out about through the Hamilton Musical. This questions what freedom is shown as versus what people tell you about freedom in America.

• Defying Gravity from Wicked

• When He Sees Me from Waitress

• Brooklyn’s Here from Newsies
