Have you ever wondered what songs to listen to when you need confidence? 

Based on these interviews, here’s what Lake Highlands Wildcats have to say about their favorite hype songs or genres. 

Amory Moore, 12

Dare You To Move by Switchfoot

 “I heard it on One Tree Hill, so it gives me a lot of nostalgia and reminds me to go after what I want.” 

Phoebe Smith, 12 

Psycho Killer by Talking Heads 

“I listen to rock music, like the 70s and 80s, because I’m an old soul. Also, because my parents indoctrinated me, and therefore, I like it.” 

Hayden Frazier, 10

“Honestly, I listen to either K-Pop songs or rap because I don’t know, I just am feelin’ myself. Chase Atlantic and Billie Eilish also.”

Partition by Beyonce

Lost Cause, My Boy, Copycat by Billie Eilish

Money by Cardi B.

On by BTS

God’s Menu by Stray Kids

Slow down by Chase Atlantic. 

Madeline Orr, 12

“Yeah, I’ve been listening to It Girl by Aliyah’s Interlude because it puts me in a better mood, and it is an easy song to walk to.”

Destiny Montelongo, 11

“I listen to Drake, because he speaks to me, and his lyrics relate to my life.”

Sophia Hufstedler, 11

“Ohhh, rap. I have to think of one that doesn’t use curse words. But I’d choose Love and War by Kodak Black.”

Keira Stengl, 10

“Okay by Chase Atlantic, because it’s a hot song, and it is great.”

Andrea Manzanares, 11 

“West Coast by Lana Del Rey, because I stan Lana Del Rey.” 

Maxwell Mendenhall, 10

“Rolling Stones, I just like their cadence and everything about them.” 

It is apparent that our wildcat student body has a vastly diverse music taste, and everyone’s answer was unique and true to themselves. From Lana Del Rey to 70s and 80s rock, each answer gave a distinctive sense of self.
