The song on repeat is teaching you something. Make sure it’s something you’d agree with out loud.

Anything you hear forty times stops being a song and starts being a sentence you believe. Lyrics slide right past the part of you that argues, especially when the beat is good, and after a week the mood walks into rooms with you. Nobody needs to police their playlist. You just want to know what has been repeating in your ear.

Check the three tracks you have played most this month and read the words like a text message. If one is telling you something you would never say to a friend, keep the beat and swap the track.
