    "It feels like the sonic version of someone giving you a hug and telling you it will all be okay."

    by Syd RobinsonBuzzFeed Staff

    Recently, we asked the BuzzFeed Community to tell us which songs they listen to when they want to feel better. Here are some of their answers:

    1. "Breathin" by Ariana Grande

    Republic Records

    "It reminds me that even though I feel the weight of the world on my shoulders, I am alive and I just have to breathe and try not to let anxiety get the best of me."

    2. "Hard Feelings / Loveless" by Lorde

    NBC

    "This song always makes me feel better because the beginning of it describes the ending of her relationship and her realizing she’ll eventually heal from it. After 'Hard Feelings', 'Loveless' starts playing and it’s more upbeat and basically an 'I’m over it' type of break up anthem."

    6. "Rise Up" by Andra Day

    NBC
