Kendrick Lamar - Bitch, Don't Kill My Vibe (Explicit)
This song is more a personal song that makes me feel happier after listening to it. When I am in a really good mood I love listening to this song because it solidifies my mood. There are very few songs I can listen to that keeps me feeling like I can take anything on and this is one of those songs. Kendrick Lamar's use of fast lyrics adds to my personal happiness because it keeps things energized when listening to it and leads up perfectly to the chorus "bitch don't kill my vibe." When I hear this song, also I put my attention on the words being said, while the tempo of the song itself may not seem very upbeat, his words are what helps lighten my mood. After listening to this song or even while listening to this song I have more energy/ willingness to get out and do something fun.

Jason Mraz - I Won't Give Up (Lyric Video)
Jason Mraz's song I Won't Give Up speaks to the heart through his use of soft and soothing tones. His lyrics are key in ensuring that the listener feels completely consumed by the song. While many people may comment that this in fact feels like a melancholy vibe is given, I chose this song as being happy because from personal experience I feel happier after listening to this. His repetitive lyrics "I won't give up on us, God knows I'm tough, he knows. . .," give me the power to be able to keep moving forward. You are able to feel the emotion from Jason Mraz's voice and because of it the lyrics truly speak to me. More than anything, what is being conveyed through the song, does in fact get listened to unlike other songs, his strength in this song are his lyrics and through his use of dramatized emotion he achieves his goal with success. An example of this success can be seen through Nicholas McDonald's rendition of I Won't Give Up on the X Factor. As this adolescent sang this song, it was inevitable to see he truly felt and believed the words he was singing, his competitors equally shared their faith in this song through the endless sea of tears evident of every face sitting down. While the song invokes tears, the end result is a sense of self confidence and persistence of reaching your dreams.

John Legend - You & I (Nobody in the World)
John Legend has a way of making his song You and I feel as if it were dedicated to every girl listening to it. His lyrics help entice self confidence in girls which helps in the production of serotonin characterized by serving to add in importance and self worth. John Legends most common lyrics being "out of all other girls you're my one and only girl. . . . aint nobody in the world but you and I;" out of a world with over billions of people, John Legend makes it so that you feel like you're the most important person, and might I add, in the entire 4:15 minutes his song goes on for. . .that is just pure magic. The production of serotonin is essential in making people happy because without feeling needed and confident a person falls into depression therefore, continuation in ensuring serotonin levels stay up lessens the likelihood of loneliness and unhappiness. Bravo, John Legend. . .you truly are a legend.
David Guetta - Titanium ft. Sia (Official Video)
David Guetta's song Titanium is heavily equipped with very heavy dance-club style beats, which makes people want to dance. Dancing is commonly correlated with happiness, seeing as people tend to dance only when in a good mood. The constant pulsating beat can also allow individuals to feel the music pulsating within them which helps create a release of endorphins within the body. Endorphins can potentially be released because the pulsating beat creates an almost sedative sensation. Finally, it's well placed heavy bass helps intensify the animation of this electric pop song which with the influence on endorphins levels makes people feel lively and delightful.
Oro Solido - Moviendo Las Caderas [Letra]
The song Moviendo Las Caderas by Oro Solido is defined as merengue music. Merengue music is not only a type of music but a type of dance which is commonly described as having very suggestive lyrics and having sensual dance movements. Merengues tend to have very fast paced arrangements which is why it is commonly used in clubs, latin parties and even zumba classes. Due to its suggestive nature, this song is commonly associated with sex or sexiness and in that case people release oxycontin when dancing to this type of music which can be one of the main reasons why parties, clubs and dancing classes all have in common being known for their vivacious social vibe. Oxycontin is essential for creating strong bonds, a feeling of closeness to people and even helps improve social interactions.
Katrina & The Waves - Walking On Sunshine
Walking on Sunshine is the song you typically expect when you're thinking of happy summer vibes. Katrina's lyrics are meant to create a feeling of never ending joy as she continually strolls through her video repeating over and over how she walks on sunshine because she is in love. The use of the repetitive lyrics, "walking on sunshine," make the listener continuously feel as though they are too. The very upbeat and repetitive rhythm stays within the mind of the listener, which then becomes easily associated with whatever is going on in your life when you first listen to it. This song tends to feel more like a song that is able to relate to that one happy moment you shared with someone or just a moment in which this associated to, because one has to have a specificity of emotion to be able to listen to this preppy song. I personally believe, therefore, this song is able to illicit the feeling of happiness through recognition of memory.
Jack Johnson - banana pancakes
Jack Johnson created this song with the intention of it being a simple mood booster. His silly and fun like lyrics are intended to put ease and comfort into people. His tempo tends to be a lot slower than mood boosting songs but his lyrics are truly what create a sense of euphoria in people. The carefree way he expresses his lyrics is one of the most prominent features why people are able to feel so at ease when listening to his song. In addition, his title refers to food and although it is simply a title, the repetition of the words banana pancakes makes you think about food, possibly even gets you to eat something sweet since pancakes are correlated with syrup or sugar. . .and in this case such sweetness acts to help produce dopamine in your body with leaves people feeling alive or excited about life.
