SELF LOVE ~ MUSIC PLAYLIST M U S I C PLAYLIST Self Love CURATED BY ALEX WATTS “AIN’T GOT NO (I GOT LIFE)” Nina Simone A lesson we can and should all take from Simone’s song? Self love starts when we stop looking at what we don’t have and start looking at what we do have. “YOU DON’T OWN ME” Lesley Gore When you love yourself, you surround yourself with people who love you just as much. This ode is a classic anthem encouraging self love, self worth, and self respect. “PACK UP” Eliza Doolittle If there is negativity in your life, then turn on this vintage-inspired track, and recognize how many amazing things you have to offer. Bad vibes are allowed to come and go, but being your wonderful self is forever. “PUT YOUR RECORDS ON” Corinne Bailey Rae Guaranteed to put a smile on your face, Rae’s signature track makes me feel like I am at peace with life. With this song playing, I am free to focus on the simple things and the unmistakably positive differences they make. “PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS” Kid Cudi (ft. MGMT and Ratatat) Control of your destiny. Self love. Great hip hop track. This collaborative piece is an ultimate feel-good song.
