And just like THAT 2023 has come to an end and with it, we take a look back at the songs that were the soundtrack for most of us. With us really coming out of the pandemic we saw live shows make a huge return and with us all being “outside” we needed music to vibe to and the artists on this list did just that and then some. Music is powerful, it can change moods, help recall memories, or give us a release from the day-to-day. These songs made me do all those things all year long, as well as dance like no one is watching. So let’s take a look at the 20 best songs of 2023 in my opinion and in NO particular order.
