If you’re anything like me, there’s always that moment of panic when you’re handed the aux cord and told to play whatever.

You start scrolling through your music library, trying to figure out what vibe to go with, but you have no idea what to play. The stress is real.

With that struggle in mind, whether it’s for your next study session, virtual party with friends or just cause, we’ve got you covered with five go-to playlists that will have your friends looking at your phone thinking, “aye, what song is this?”

If you’re looking for summer vibes

It’s almost summer! After a long winter, summer is a time for sunshine and good vibes. I think we can all agree that summer is the best time to turn up the volume to all of our favourite upbeat songs.

If you’re looking for a go-to playlist to get the summer mood going, we’ve got you covered with our 2020 ultimate summer playlist featuring a great selection of songs recommended by students! Khalid, Calvin Harris, Lauv and Todrick Hall are just a few of the artists you can expect to hear while you’re soaking up the sun.
