Prompt: "A song about starting over"
Selected by Beth
"New Rules"
Dua Lipa, 2017
I'm truly surprising myself by not choosing a more somber or introspective song about starting over. However, I'm really looking toward personal growth this year, and I'm doing that by actively fighting against my natural inclination to always be a sad girl. This song (and accompanying video) is so fun that it is hard to object to Dua and the relationship restrictions that she's laying down. The energy and sound is so upbeat that it makes you kind of forget the very toxic relationship that seems to be the impetus of these rules. Honestly, this is the personal vibe that I'm willing myself to harness in 2024. I'm starting with a fresh determination to (finally!) follow these rules and stand on business.
