The start of a new year is a very exciting and overwhelming time. Between starting a new semester, readjusting to life back at school, and having to remember to write 2025 instead of 2024 on your paper, the new year can be a lot.
Music can be a source of comfort and confidence in the face of change. Jump into 2025 with a brand new playlist! The Gateway‘s soundtrack for 2025 is chock-full of familiar favourites and new pop sensations alike.
The 2025 soundtrack starts off with some of the best music of 2024 that should be brought into the new year. From Charli xcx to Chappell Roan, dance along to some of the year’s biggest confidence boosters. Then, stroll down memory lane with a few of 2015’s biggest hits, all of which are turning a decade old this year. Finally, comb through some old classics, and let the voices of the past reassure you that everything will be okay this year.
Whether you’re looking to expand your musical horizons or you just want some comfort music, this playlist is for you!
