I’m not hiding anymore; I won’t hide; I’m free”—reflects newfound confidence, with nods to pop icons Madonna and Britney Spears. Hypnotic visuals reveal Rae’s mermaid-inspired transformation, cementing her rebrand post-“Diet Pepsi” as she emerges from popstar academy under the mentorship of A.G. Cook and Charli XCX.

“Story of My Life” by One Direction
Following the recent passing of Liam Payne, One Direction’s “Story of My Life” has surged back into the spotlight. This reflective track from their 2013 album Midnight Memories, which reached #2 in the UK and #6 in the US, has long been celebrated for its mature, acoustic-driven sound—a fitting tribute to Payne’s legacy. “The story of my life, I take her home. I drive all night to keep her warm, and time is frozen,” resonates more deeply than ever. Harry Styles once told Teen Vogue that “the idea of going back to our roots and incorporating our families made it even more special.” In the Ben Winston-directed video, the band members recreate their childhood photos with family, beautifully symbolizing how time may pass, but memories last forever.
