42 Songs That INFJs Will Relate To
Have you ever wondered if your music taste might have something to do with your personality type?
One thing I’ve noticed while researching the hobby series I’m writing for Psychology Junkie is that every personality type lists music as one of their favorite hobbies. Even with that commonality, though, music taste can vary considerably between individuals, even when they have the same personality type. For this list, I tried to choose songs that either received multiple recommendations from INFJs or seemed to fit within larger trends I saw in INFJs’ favorite songs.
When I asked a group of INFJs what songs resonated with them I got far too many answers to include them all on this list. If you’re curious, I’ve compiled a Spotify playlist with the recommended songs, albums, and artists that you can click here to listen to. I’ve found several new favorites, and I hope you will too!
Updated January 5th, 2025 by Susan Storm. We received so many new requests for songs to add to this article that I decided to do more research, ask more questions, and make this list longer to include some popular favorites of INFJs who reached out! Thank you for emailing me, leaving thoughts in the comments, and sharing your perspectives!
1. “Anyone” by Demi Levato
Intense loneliness isn’t a feeling exclusive to INFJs, but I’ve noticed we seem to feel more than our fair share of that emotion. I think this intensely vulnerable song will resonate with many INFJs who long for someone, anyone, to understand them and be there for them.
2. “Demons” by Imagine Dragons
A couple INFJs said they relate to songs by Imagine Dragons (“Demons” and “Radioactive” were both mentioned). Many INFJs feel that we have a “dark side” – something inside us that we hide from the people who think we’re sweet and peaceful people. I’ve actually had people tell me they don’t believe I have a dark side; that it’s all sunshine and unicorns inside my head. And then they wonder why I don’t let them get too close.
3. “Down The Line” by José González
Have you ever seen one of those memes where an INFJ has an “I told you so” look on their face because they accurately predicted something? That’s what this song reminds me of. There is a lot of music by José González on the INFJ playlist I put together because so many people recommended him. I’m only just now getting into his music, but I’m enjoying it so far and he has several songs that could have been a good fit for this list.
4. “Elastic Heart” by Sia
Two INFJs listed this song as one of their favorites. INFJs might have a reputation for being “too sensitive,” but most of us know that we’re stronger than people often think. For me, that’s the INFJ trait this song speaks to – the part of us that’s resilient and stays flexible instead of letting the world make us hard and bitter.
5. “Hallelujah” by Leonard Cohen
I love this song in every version I’ve heard, and I found myself nodding in agreement when I saw it on another INFJ’s list. My mother can’t understand why I like it because “it doesn’t make sense,” but I think that’s partly why I find myself drawn to it. “Hallelujah” is a rather strange song with a complicated history but then we’re rather strange people, aren’t we? I love the abstractness of the lyrics, the feel of the music, and the fact that just about every time I hear it I have some new ideas about what it means.
6. “I will Spend My Whole Life Loving You” by Imaginary Future
This is another song that comes recommended by two INFJs. Many INFJs are romantics at heart, and this is a captivating love song. One thing I enjoy about this song is that it puts love in a lifetime context while also talking about the eventuality of death. I think it’s a very INFJ thing to keep that sort of big-picture in mind while marveling that we can choose to spend our one life loving someone else and being loved in return.
7. “Invisible” by Linkin Park
You’ll find a lot of Linkin Park on the INFJ playlist because, rather than recommending individual songs, several people recommended entire albums. For this list, I chose one of my own favorites. Like many songs INFJs find relatable, this one is about seeing people for who they truly are. It’s also about clarifying communication and creating harmony in a relationship; something INFJs hold very dear.
8. “Iris” by The Goo Goo Dolls
Three different INFJs recommended this song to me (two talked about the Goo Goo Dolls version, one suggested the version by Kina Grannis), and once I listened to the lyrics I understood why. Is there any INFJ who hasn’t wished someone could see them for who they really are, but also worried about being seen because they’re sure most people won’t understand?
9. “Just My Imagination” by The Cranberries
The song has a fun, light sound and celebrates imagination, something near and dear to the INFJ heart. And it also does something many INFJs would love to do in real life – it moves the imagination into reality. It’s one of the songs I discovered while writing this post that has made it onto my own favorites list.
10. “Let It Be” by The Beatles
This recommendation also comes from two INFJs (one just listed the song title and one specified the Imaginary Future version). While it might seem like a religious song on the surface, it was actually inspired by a dream Paul McCartney had of his deceased mother. I think INFJs relate to this song because we want there to be meaning in the world and hope for peace even when things seem like they’re falling apart. I also relate to the story of where the song came from since I’ve had some pretty meaningful dreams myself.
11. “Schism” by Tool
Tool’s music received a couple different recommendations from INFJs. I chose this song because INFJs are so in-tune with harmony and schisms in relationships, and we’re often motivated to find ways of repairing communication. We’re peacemakers who want to help people find ways of “fitting together.”
12. “Whole of the Moon” by Celtic Woman
This one’s from my personal list of relatable songs. Since I first heard this song, I’ve thought it “felt INFJ.” I’m guessing INFJs will identify most with the character the song is about (who sees the world in a beautiful, strange, personal way), but possibly also with the singer (who admires the other person’s unique perspective).
13. “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” by Green Day
This song captures the INFJ’s feeling of walking their own path, often misunderstood and alone. The haunting refrain, “I walk a lonely road,” is something many INFJs can relate to as they try to flourish in a world that is often wired for a more extroverted, sensing personality type.
14. “Sound of Silence” by Simon & Garfunkel
This classic hit has a melancholic yet profound tone that INFJs often gravitate toward. Its themes of isolation, deep reflection, and the search for meaning speak directly to the INFJ’s lifelong quest for depth and significance over noise and material gain.
15. “Everybody Hurts” by R.E.M.
INFJs are like emotional first responders—they’ll drop everything to console a friend in crisis. “Everybody Hurts” feels like it was written just for them: a comforting reminder that it’s okay to hurt and that even the healers need healing. This song’s their quiet way of saying, “It’s okay to let it out. Even for you.”
16. “Wish You Were Here” by Pink Floyd
INFJs feel absence like a physical ache. Whether it’s missing a person, a time, or even an idea, “Wish You Were Here” speaks to that bittersweet longing INFJs know all too well.
17. “People Help the People” by Birdy
If INFJs had a personal anthem, this might be it. The song’s message—quiet, compassionate, and deeply human—perfectly captures the INFJ drive to heal the world, one broken piece at a time.
18. “Fix You” by Coldplay
INFJs in many ways are the emotional repair people of the personality world. Someone cries? They’re already handing over tissues. “Fix You” captures that INFJ instinct to jump in and try to make things better, even when it’s not entirely their job.
19. “Mad World” by Gary Jules
This song might as well be an INFJ diary entry. It’s introspective, melancholic, and packed with existential dread—all wrapped up in a hauntingly beautiful melody.
20. “Ancient Dreams in a Modern Land” by MARINA
INFJs don’t just live in the present; they’re constantly dancing between past, present, and future, trying to figure out what it all means. The lyrics in this song capture the INFJ’s sense of “otherness” along with the metaphors and symbols that capture their imagination.
“You don’t have to be like everybody elseYou don’t have to fit into the normYou are not here to conformI am here to take a look inside myselfRecognize that I could be the eye, the eye of the storm”
This song is a bold reminder for INFJs to own their unique vision and make it count, even when the world doesn’t seem ready for it.
21. “Brave” by Sara Bareilles
INFJs often struggle with speaking up, especially when they know their words might not land perfectly. “Brave” is the pep talk INFJs didn’t know they needed—a call to step into courage and let their voice be heard.
An INFJ I know once said, “I rehearse my thoughts so much I could win an Oscar. But when it’s time to speak, my brain just… evaporates.” This song? It’s the nudge to hit play on those rehearsals.
22. “Après Moi” – Regina Spektor
“I must go on standing, you can’t break that which isn’t yours.” This song feels like an anthem for INFJs who constantly shoulder the weight of the world while trying to hold on to their identity. The lyrics echo the INFJ’s complex inner world—drenched in meaning, shadowed by responsibility, and stubbornly unbreakable.
23. “The View Between Villages” – Noah Kahan
“It’s just me and the curve of the valley, and there is meaning on Earth, I am happy.” INFJs are happiest in these rare moments when the noise of the world quiets down, and the meaning they’re always searching for feels tangible. This song captures the bittersweet nostalgia and introspection INFJs so often carry.
24. “Would That I” – Hozier
True to form, Hozier delivers a masterpiece for INFJs who love symbolism, layered emotions, and poetic lyrics. Lines like “With each love I cut loose, I was never the same” hit deep for INFJs who feel every relationship, every connection, like it’s etched into their soul.
25. “The World I Know” – Collective Soul
This song feels like an INFJ meditation; an ode to the brokenness on the world, but an anthem for the love one feels for that same broken world. “So I walk up on high, and I step to the edge, to see my world below.” This metaphor captures the INFJ’s big picture vision paired with their deep, boundless empathy.
26. “Blue” – Yoko Kanno
“Never seen a bluer sky, yeah, I can feel it reaching out.” This song feels like floating in an INFJ dreamscape—a mix of longing, freedom, and existential pondering. The lyrics, “Life is just a dream, you know, that’s never-ending,” capture the INFJ’s ability to exist in the liminal space between reality and imagination.
27. “You’ll Be In My Heart” – Phil Collins
This Disney classic may seem simple, but for INFJs, it speaks to their deep, unconditional love for the people they care about. “No matter what they say, you’ll be here in my heart” feels like something an INFJ would whisper to someone they’re fiercely loyal to—even when the world doesn’t understand.
28. “Take Me Back to Eden” – Sleep Token
“I dream in phosphorescence.” This song is a whole existential journey wrapped in haunting melodies and cryptic poetry. For INFJs, “Take Me Back to Eden” feels like a desperate plea to return to a place of innocence and purity—a space that probably only exists in their imaginations but still feels worth fighting for.
29. “Time” – Pink Floyd
INFJs tend to live with one eye on the past and the other on the future, often forgetting to exist in the now. Pink Floyd’s “Time” is a stark reminder of life slipping by and the importance of taking action before it’s too late.
30. “Imagine” – John Lennon
INFJs are idealists at heart, and “Imagine” is basically their utopian dream set to music. A world without war, division, or greed? Sign them up. This song resonates deeply with INFJs who are constantly trying to reconcile their idealistic visions with the harsh realities of life.
I’ve had INFJs tell me they feel like “old souls trapped in a world that hasn’t caught up yet.” “Imagine” is their anthem—a reminder to keep hoping and striving, even when the world feels impossibly far from perfect.
31. “Dust in the Wind” – Kansas
INFJs love a good existential crisis, and “Dust in the Wind” delivers in spades. Its a profound reminder of life’s fleeting nature resonates with INFJs, who often ponder their place in the grand scheme of things.
32. “Heal the World” – Michael Jackson
If INFJs could pick a theme song for their life mission, “Heal the World” would be a strong contender. This heartfelt ballad captures their deep-seated desire to create a better, kinder, more compassionate world.
I once asked an INFJ what they wanted most in life, and their answer was simple: “To leave the world better than I found it.” Michael Jackson’s lyrics are basically a call to arms for every INFJ who feels like they were put on this Earth to heal its wounds.
33. “You Are Loved” – Josh Groban
INFJs are givers, often to the point of neglecting their own needs. “You Are Loved” feels like a warm hug for their soul—a reminder that they, too, deserve the care and love they so freely give to others.
34. “I’m So Glad I’m Standing Here Today” – The Crusaders
“Some said, ‘I was hopelessMind tangled in the night’Strong hearts just keep goin’That is why I’m still standing here today”
If there’s ever been a mantra for INFJs who’ve faced adversity, this is it. This song is pure resilience wrapped in sunshine, reminding INFJs to celebrate the fact that they’re still standing, no matter what life throws at them.
35. “Oh Very Young” – Cat Stevens
INFJs often look at life through a wistful lens, highly aware of how short it all is. This is why they try so hard to make the most of each moment; to heal relationships, to find the meaning of it all, and to build bridges between people. They often find themselves caught between nostalgia and a longing to make their mark on the world. “Oh very young, what will you leave us this time?” feels like a question INFJs ask themselves daily.
36. “Across the Universe” – The Beatles
“Nothing’s gonna change my world.” INFJs often feel like they’re tuned into a frequency the rest of the world can’t hear, and “Across the Universe” captures that ethereal, untouchable energy perfectly. Its dreamy lyrics and gentle melody feel like stepping into an INFJ’s imagination.
37. “Who Wants to Live Forever?” – Queen
INFJs are deeply philosophical, and this Queen classic taps into their love of pondering life, death, and the fleeting nature of human existence. The song’s haunting melody and heartbreaking lyrics speak to the INFJ’s tendency to embrace the bittersweet beauty of impermanence.
38. “Redemption Song” by Bob Marley
“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery; none but ourselves can free our minds.” If INFJs had a personal motto, this might be it. Bob Marley’s Redemption Song isn’t just music—it’s a manifesto for freedom, reflection, and resilience. For INFJs, who often feel trapped by the weight of their inner thoughts or the world’s chaos, this song offers a powerful reminder: change starts within.
39. “Like a Rolling Stone” – Bob Dylan
“How does it feel to be on your own, with no direction home?” INFJs, with their deep sense of identity and purpose, often feel disconnected from a world that doesn’t share their values. Bob Dylan’s lyrics speak to that feeling of being adrift, questioning everything, and finding your own way when no clear path exists.
40. “Dear Mama” – 2Pac
“I love payin’ rent when the rent’s dueI hope you got the diamond necklace that I sent to you‘Cause when I was low you was there for meAnd never left me alone, because you cared for meAnd I could see you comin’ home after work lateYou’re in the kitchen, tryin’ to fix us a hot plate”
INFJs love feeling connected to a song that’s raw, emotional, and revealing. 2Pac’s “Dear Mama” captures the sadness, grief, love, and devotion of a son who has seen his mother struggle and fight to survive in a world filled with racism and abandonment. INFJs will appreciate 2Pac’s emotional honesty, depth, and profound insights.
41. “You Can’t Be Neutral on a Moving Train” – Vinnie Paz
INFJs are natural advocates for justice, and this song’s unapologetic stance on taking action aligns with their core values. The powerful message reminds them that staying silent in the face of injustice is a choice—and not one they’re willing to make.
42. “Bulls on Parade” – Rage Against the Machine
“Weapons not food, not homes, not shoes.” This explosive track channels the INFJ’s frustration with systemic injustices and their passion for dismantling what’s broken. INFJs often feel like quiet warriors, but Rage Against the Machine taps into the side of them that’s ready to roar.

I relate completely to ‘Within You Without You’ by the Beatles. ????
I like Fire on Fire by Sam Smith.
Mariposa by Peach Tree Rascals
Basically that’s it
This one – Highway to hell – ACDC. B-)
My favorite 2 go to songs are, Pink, singing Perfect, and More by Matthew West. Those two very different songs make me feel better after i listen to them. I no longer feel ‘ less than’ or so misunderstood. I feel like my different personality is unique and I am free to be me????.
Yes, some songs I really like made your list. Here are a few more songs that other INFJs may like:

* Drops of Jupiter – Train
* I’ll Be There for You – Bon Jovi
* Listen to the Music – Doobie Brothers
* Demons – Imagine Dragons
* Truly, Madly, Deeply – Savage Garden
“The Whole of the Moon” made me cry! Seeing “too much, too soon” is so relatable! I’ve had to learn to keep to myself and pray about the thing I see about others, even if it could be so helpful, and let God bring it to them in the right time or give me the nudge when it’s time to say it. I also loved “Just My Imagination”! Her imaginary world sounds so nice…as is mine. 😀 In my imagination, the world would operate off the basis of N and F, not pounding us with all the sensory noise and demands. #INFJheart
This was an interesting article and contains some songs the INFJ protagonist of my book would enjoy.
I’m an INTJ, so if you start a poll for INTJ musical preferences, mine is anything by Johann Sebastian Bach, the king of INTJ composers, in particular, his “Toccata und Fuge in d-moll” and “Brandenburgisches Konzert Nr. 2,” but really, pretty much anything. I’m listening to “Das wohltemperierte Klavier” (The Well-Tempered Clavier) at the moment.
Thank you so much for this great feedback! I’ll pass this along to Marissa!
I think a musician that was skipped is James Taylor’s:
“Fire and Rain” I walked this personally “I’ve seen lonely times… ” and in supporting a friend; “I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen Rain … ” and my personal favorite with my kids and other’s who need rest and safety; “You Can Close Your Eyes”.
Lots of Pink Floyd…and anything by David Gilmour. Abney Park. Heilung.
Linkin Park & The Cranberries are in my list. My favorite albums are Roxette’s “Look Sharp”, “Joyride” & “Tourism”, the early albums from Bryan Adams & “Load” & “Reload” from Metallica. My INFJ dark side is drawn to music. I’m definitely checking out your playlist 🙂
Your choices fit, but you already knew that (O: The Lincoln Park statement is
https://youtu.be/eVTXPUF4Oz4 – In The End – My mother was dying and I took care of her and her husband was quite the individual and I endured him for the two years after her death like I promised and then I shut the door. Everyone around me thought I was stupid and did not understand what he was doing but my reasons were to help her die with dignity and not feel all alone. People around me excused me of not loving myself and allowing my mother and her husband to take advantage of me, but I knew and allowed it because the pain for her was too great. Although she had not lived with me since i was thirteen and for her entire life she was a drug addict. We did not live under the same roof until she was sick and dying, but a lesson, consequence, or reason must be administered when the opportunity to grow is present and the situation was not a time to learn, it was a time to love unconditionally as this was the only chance to decide if death would be dignity versus despair. It was hard at times to keep my mind on the end goal at times. It was like someone spitting in my face every day dealing with her husband.
https://youtu.be/IVNCmQFjCZQ – Empty – Until we begin to understand ourselves and accept that no matter if a person could have got someone to listen this all could have been avoided. – Unhealthy
https://youtu.be/6G1vgZ3y3Qk Tabula rasa – This song symbolizes that all the pieces must be factored in order to be quantified to anticipate what is coming and how to best combat or prepare.
https://youtu.be/ux3u31SAeEM – Moments in Love – Once all has been considered and includes all that makes the world around a person engage and brings forth an understanding the pieces are really one and we are a small fragment of one.
https://youtu.be/y8AWFf7EAc4 – It’s crazy how the songs are so on
https://youtu.be/vQPRFqWPWgE – This Cowboy’s Hat – I know it is country but there is a lot of stuff we will take, but we do have our breaking point. If we cannot shut a person out any other way, then it on!
I found none of them even̈ close to enjoyable nor relatable.
True colours!
I also LOVE the Coldplay song “Fix You”. I think that is completely an INFJ song.
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4Xmac9l2RC_tDL8VwbpwP8e4L943l4Hr

Yes! We’re working on song lists for each of the personality types 🙂
Out of these songs, only Demons is in my favorite songs list. But i quickly fell in love with Whole of the moon. It’s catchy and described my staying on my moon personality really well.

Everglow by Coldplay
One of my favorite all time songs is Alone Again (Naturally) by Gilbert O Sullivan. It super sad, but weirdly uplifting at the same time. It speaks to the reality of loss and suffering. It makes me cry everytime I hear it! The tears are cathartic though. So real!!
I would describe most of Jackson Browne’s songs as INFJ, especially “Before the Deluge,” “Fountain of Sorrow” and “In the Shape of a Heart.”
Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon album is one of my all time favorites!
I think I do like all those songs one that I would add to the list is from a band that may be unknown to many , Lucius (pop) dusty trails, especially the version in the Minnesota Capitol rotunda.
I’ve always said that vindicated by dashboard was my anthem. The second I heard that song I felt it in a spot I didn’t know existed. Almost the same spot that was touched when I found out I was an INFJ and my childhood finally made sense.
It sucks that it’s considered by fans as a mainstream song by dashboard bc everyone thinks you are a poser if you say you like it…..but I think that any INFJ would say that this song makes them feel something akin to finding a kindred spirit. The fact that he finally feels like an intuition he has had for so long is finally validated and the strong hopeful undertones for the future makes me think this song was written for me.
You have to listen to A Hallelujah Christmas by Cloverton! It is, by far, the very best version of that song. I didn’t realize it was INFJ of me to like it! ????
Numb by Linkin park
In the end by Linkin park
Mirror on the wall by Lil Wayne ft. Bruno Mars
I’m a mess by Bebe Rexha
I don’t know why exactly but I like sparkle.the ost of your name. and I’ve seen other INFJs who have agreed.thanks for this list and all infjs in comments also.I found good music through you all!
Lana del rey is my favorite artist. I love her aesthetic. In the monologue in her song ” Ride” , she wrote: my mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing to north, no fixed personality, just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean.
This line really hit me because I resonate a lot with it
These are all way too mainstream for the INFJ I know. Imagine Dragons? Are we 12?
“This River” by J.J. Grey and Mofro
Cautious by Max Leone
~ Must listen, at least once
Cautious by Max Leone

Alt-J – Mathilda
Best,

Achilles Come Down- Gang of Youths
Crossfire- Stephen (maybe not relatable but I feel like INFJs would love this song)
Ruby- Foster The People
Fun.
Especially some nights, carry on.
From the inside – linkin park
This is a true classic infj song and really shows how we can get overwhelmed, but get over it by shutting out and letting go.
“Brighter than the Sun” – Brick + Mortor
This song identifies our complex and dual nature. It especially gives some insight on how can step back and take pleasure in relating reality to our inner world.
“Here” by Alessia Cara
Ironic by Alanis morissette
Boulevard of Broken Dreams by Green Day
I can relate to it on a very deep level every time I listen to it.
Heart for Brains – Roar
I don’t identify with any of these songs except Tool. But i think i like metal more than most. I don’t know why infj would identify with such boring songs. I like mostly metal with some sad indie rock mixed in. I feel like most infjs have better taste than this list shows.
Love love love Hallelujah. The highs and lows of the song deeply resonates with my soul. I would add Losing My Religion by REM.
I have all of the songs on The Wall album of Pink Floyd
Bob Marley – i shot the sherif
Marlena Shaw – Woman of the Ghetto
Sly and the Family Stone – Thank you for let me be myself
Kate Bush – Basically all the song on her Hounds of Love album (I can recommend Mother Stands for Comfort)
Michael Jackson – They don’t really care about us, Off the Wall, Beat it
Some Danish artists where some of my all time favourite tracks are.
Tash Sultana – Pink Moon and Coma (unplugged)
Hoghasakite – My name is liar, Someone who’ll get it
The soundtrack to The king returns (lotr)
The soundtrack to The Prince of Egypt
The soundtrack to The Perfume – the story of a murderer
Rachmaninov – Vespers
Mozart – Requiem
Beethoven – Ode to Joy (his 9th symphony)
Serpentwithfeet – The four ethers
John Williams – Stelé
This Mortail Coil – Song to the siren
Omah Lay – Soso
Aya Nakamura – Djadja, Pookie, 40%
Sufjan Stevens – Futile Deviced, Mystery of Love
Taylor Swift – Willow,
Justin Timberlake – Cry me a river, The Wall,
Under the flourencent lights and machinery noise at work (not best INFJ environment,but somebody’s got to do it) y’all picked many of the songs that I default to to get through it.
Ok, I’ll add some:
“The Anchor Song”- by Bjork
“Big Girls don’t Cry” – Natalie Merchant
“Trouble” – Shawn Colvin
“(I Remember It) All Too Well” – Taylor Swift. Now I appreciate her as an artist and how she has helped many place feelings in a proper but fun perspective, though never personally a big fan. Except for This song. Divine. So much so that it got me thinking there are so many songs/ hymns as to what we would say to God, but what do I imagine God would say to us?
“Working Class Hero” – the Beatles. So long I’ve been turned off by the title, I have only recently listened to it. Incredible.
Enya – anything by enya. First album i ever bought decades ago, still a fan. Cheers m’ lady.
Sinead O’Connor – can’t decide favourite song. (“Nothing Compares.. I actually don’t care for as much). May the road ride to meet you my friend.
Ozzy! – “”Perry Mason” …I Think I understand.. played it in celebration of helping getting my younger coworker his job as a police criminologist.
One more… “The Ghost of Tom Joad” – Bruce Springsteen.
One song I have related to is Learning to Fly by Pink Floyd. On the surface it’s just a song about learning to fly a plane, but when you look deeper it’s about learning to be human, which feels very INFJ to me 🙂
I haven’t heard every one of these songs, but most of the ones I’ve heard are either in my “It’s Me!” playlist, or my love songs playlist! Of the songs in this list, “Brave” and “You Are Loved” especially resonate with me. ☺️ Here are a few others that I really love:
“Meant to Be” and “Beautiful Scars,” both by Steven Curtis Chapman.
“Good Parts” by Andy Grammer
“Safe Place to Land” by Sara Bareilles and John Legend
“You’re Still You” by Josh Groban
