Being human, we all have those days when we feel down. We are either tired, sad, or just in a slump. We want to leave out of that state of mind and we will try any method to brighten our mood. I like to lift my mood by listening to some great tracks. Music is therapeutic and can help change your overall mood. Today, we’ll talk about some of my favorite songs that help me and may help you brighten your mood as well.

NCT 127 - “TOUCH”

When I am in a slump I like to play this song. The bright aura, smiles, and overall joyful sound bring a smile to my face. “TOUCH” is a track sung by SM Entertainment mega boy group NCT 127. While listening, you can’t help but cheese and sing along. The excitement and happiness can be heard in the members' vocals. The song and video are bright. The members are seen in colorful clothing with surrounding quirky and colorful backdrops. Cheerful energy is felt while listening to this track, and you can’t help but feel like you just ran through a field of daisies.

TWICE - “CHEER UP”

“Cheer up baby. Cheer up, baby!” Come on, we all know the lyrics to this banger. Just from the bubbly intro, you instantly feel this gleeful sensation. JYP Entertainment's well-known girl group TWICE dropped their cheerful track, “CHEER UP” in 2016. Just from the members’ voices alone, you get this lighthearted feeling that makes you smile. The video is super cool too. The fact that each scene is different and shows the members’ acting abilities pulls your attention to the video. There are scenes of the members smiling, singing, and dancing together that are very perky. Everything about this song is chipper and will make you feel better.
