Music is medicine. It has the ability to help us unwind from the stresses of every day life, be a friend through tough times and offer hope when it all feels lost.

A major component of Audacy’s I’m Listening campaign is being able to look at music as a tool that not only helps further the discussion around mental health but uses the medium as a mechanism that can quite literally shift the way we feel.
Tate McRae is an advocate for the healing power of music and regularly listens to her own playlist of feel good music to help set a healthy mental tone in her own life. Check out five songs she leans on regularly when she needs a boost listed below.
“Sunday Best” — Surfaces
“I try my best when I’m in a good place to convince myself to listen to music like “Sunday Best,” that just puts me in a great mood.”
“Forever After All” — Luke Combs
“Country music always reminds me of home and makes me feel safe.”
“Kiss Me More” — Doja Kat feat. SZA
“A good mood song… Something I would choose to listen to if I need to be in a good head space.”
“Lonely” — Machine Gun Kelly
“This song has a crazy message — That anyone can be lonely, no matter how many people it looks like they’re around… it’s a good reminder.”
“Into You” — Paramore
“I don’t know what the hell she puts in her songs, but she gives me a whole new level of serotonin that no other song can give me.”
Audacy's I’m Listening initiative aims to encourage those who are dealing with mental health issues to understand they are not alone. If you or anyone you know is struggling with depression or anxiety, know that someone is always there. Additionally, the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week at 1-800-273-8255.
