6 Absolute BELTERS to Boost Your Mood This January
January. The start of a new year. A new beginning. But for some people, it can be the height of
SD, also known as Seasonal Depression. Even if you won’t admit it, we all go through a time at
the beginning of the year when everything feels kind of well you know… blah. So here’s a list of feel-good songs that will boost both your mood and confidence and get you out of that blah period:
Harry Styles – As It Was
This chart-topper was just named the biggest song of 2022. From “Come on Harry we wanna say goodnight to you!” to the catchy melody it boasts, it’s definitely a good song to get you out of your seat and dancing. With its eighties-inspired chorus, As It Was shot to the top of the charts and remained there throughout last summer. A guaranteed crowd-pleaser at Love On Tour, and a focal point for fan-artist interaction with its bridge line, ‘Leave America’, its success at boosting your mood through a rather drab January is guaranteed.
About Damn Time –Lizzo
Queen Lizzo knew exactly what she was doing when she dropped this track. Whether it’s hyping you up whilst you get ready for a gig, or even just on your way to work, it’s a certified TFGL jam! With her sassy, boss b**** energy this song is sure to help you out of your funk and into your savage era.
Black and White – Niall Horan
This track, taken from the ex-One Directioner’s sophomore album Heartbreak Weather will instantly boost your mood with its lyrics, melody and vocals.

New music soon please, Mr Horan! We’re all waiting…
Sorry Not Sorry – Demi Lovato
An oldie but a Goldie for you now! Sorry Not Sorry dominated fangirl playlists back in 2017 when it was first released. The lyric, “Feelin’ like a ten, the best I’ve ever been” is enough to get make you wanna turn up the music and dance, so what’s stopping you? Crank it to the max, grab your nearest hairbrush and pretend your Miss Lovato on her next sell-out tour. Trust us, it will have you ready to take on the world!
