LIFE

We love creative and crazy music videos crafted with complicated choreography and vivid visuals, but we are also huge fans of vids that are more down-to-earth and realistic. There is something comforting about listening to a tune that captures *exactly* how we’re feeling that just boosts our mood. So if you’re in need of some inspo and motivation today, check out these six #relatable songs.

"Counting Scars" by Gabz

Gabz, the *super* talented UK singer/rapper, just dropped a new music video for her haunting yet catchy tune, “Counting Scars.” Her soaring vocals and beautiful instrumentals mix perfectly to create a song about self-doubt and regrets. When we feel down about ourselves and life, Gabz reassures us that we’re not alone in our emotions. You can also pre-order Gabz's EP, "UP," here.

"Try" by Colbie Caillat

An old favorite of ours, Colbie’s video breaks our hearts and puts them back together again. We love how the video critiques beauty standards and pushes us to love the skin we’re in. Watching a group of beautiful women transform from sad and pained to happy and liberated right before our eyes is a powerful sight that uplifts and inspires us.

"Stone Cold" by Demi Lovato

Demi’s amazing voice brings us to tears every time we hear “Stone Cold,” and this sad song gives us *major* feels when we’re trying to deal with lost love. While we may not have stood alone on a snowy mountain or cried in a bathtub like Demi does, we definitely have felt the same heartbreak that is captured in the video.

"Good Enough" by Cimorelli

Family troubles can really take a toll on teens, as the sisters of Cimorelli show us in their video for the too-true tune, “Good Enough.” Relationships with the 'rents are never easy and sometimes it can feel like we’re a disappointment to our families. The group’s deep and honest lyrics help us see that even when we feel low, we are more than worthy of love.

"We Don’t Talk Anymore" by Charlie Puth feat. Selena Gomez

Charlie’s video is spot on in capturing the difficulties of moving on and the lasting impact a former love can leave on your life. The split-screen style of “We Don’t Talk Anymore” depicts the aftermath of a breakup and we totally get all the sitches that Charlie and his on-screen ex go through.

"Wild Things" by Alessia Cara

Sometimes, you just want to kick back and chill out with your friends like in the “Wild Things” music vid. With Polaroids, animal masks and adventures, Alessia and her pals show us the perf way to enjoy the wild things in life and embrace a carefree lifestyle. Her empowering voice-overs at the beginning and end of the video encourage us to embrace our passions, our friends and our feelings because they make us unique.
