7 February 2020, 08:05 | Updated: 28 February 2020, 13:33

Billie Eilish graced the world with her 007-inspired ballad, while Justin Bieber dropped his fifth album, 'Changes', which is full of bangers.

February may be the month of Valentine's Day, but it's not the love of our significant other we're celebrating - we're celebrating our love of brand new music.

Friday, 28 February 2020

1. 'Stupid Love' - Lady Gaga

   

   Lady Gaga is back with her brand new anthem, 'Stupid Love', after it was leaked amongst fans a month earlier.

   Working with hit-maker, Max Martin, 'Stupid Love' is set to appear on Lady Gaga's highly anticipated sixth album.

2. 'The Other Side' - SZA, Justin Timberlake

   

   As a star and executive producer of the upcoming animated movie, Trolls World Tour, it only seems fair that Justin Timberlake's new bop features on its soundtrack.

   'The Other Side' sees Timberlake collaborate with SZA, who said "The creative process of working with [Justin] and the team was filled with such excitement. It's an energy you can feel in both the song and music video."

3. 'Boyfriend' - Mabel

   

   Fresh from winning Best British Female at this year's BRIT Awards, Mabel dropped another single called 'Boyfriend'.

   However, the tune's title seems to be misleading, as Mabel posted to Twitter saying "wanting someone in your life doesn't mean you can't still be dat b***hh".

4. 'Tondo' - Disclosure, Eko Roosevelt

   

   Disclosure have welcomed in 2020 with a bang; first, they dropped their incredible collaboration with Khalid, and now they're bringing disco to us.

   Teaming up with Cameroonian musician Eko Roosevelt, 'Tondo' sees Disclosure leave their deep house beats for something funkier and fresher.

5. 'Mistakes' - Jonas Blue, Paloma Faith

   

   Paloma Faith has teamed up with hitmaker, Jonas Blue, on 'Mistakes' which they claim to be heavily influenced by Jonas' "house and garage upbringing".

   The 'Mama' producer praised Paloma, saying "I've wanted to work with Paloma for a long time and this just connected the dots for us to be able to collaborate in a perfect way."

1. 'After Hours' - The Weeknd

   

   Fresh from dropping his Big Top 40 number one chart-topper, 'Blinding Lights', The Weeknd has now released his album's titular track, 'After Hours'.

   Fans have speculated that the deep, meaningful lyrics mean that Abel is singing about another ex - Bella Hadid, as he sings "I'll risk it all for you. I won't just leave. This time, I'll never leave".

2. 'Feel Me' - Selena Gomez

   

   Ever since she performed 'Feel Me' on her Revival tour in 2016, Selena Gomez's break-up song has become a fan-favourite, and she has finally released it for the world to put on repeat.

   In the song - which was originally only available on vinyl sold at USA's Target stores - Selena sings of an ex regretting the end of his relationship.

3. 'Old Me' - 5 Seconds of Summer

   

   5 Seconds of Summer have dropped yet another bop from their upcoming fourth studio album, 'C A L M', in the form of 'Old Me', following the likes of 'Easier'.

   For the artwork, 5SOS shared adorable throwback snaps of themselves, including drummer, Ashton, as a little baby cuddled up on his bed, and Luke Hemmings rocking a mullet.

4. 'Modern Loneliness' - Lauv

   

   Lauv just keeps making anthems, and his latest - 'Modern Loneliness' - is no different.

   Marking his love for the song by tattooing the title on his body, 'Modern Loneliness' builds up to a full-on karaoke belter, despite the deep lyrics such as "Love my friends to death but I never call them, I never text."

5. 'ROXANNE (Remix)' - Arizona Zervas & Swae Lee

   

   Arizona Zervas' 'ROXANNE' has taken the Big Top 40 by storm, and now he's tapped Rae Sremmurd's Swae Lee for the official remix.

   The pair even performed the remixed rendition of the tune on Post Malone's Runaway Tour in Chicago.

6. 'Tequila' - Jax Jones, Martin Solveig, RAYE & Europa

   

   Teaming up together, again, under their alias Europa, Jax Jones and Martin Solveig have teamed up with RAYE for anthem 'Tequila'.

   It's classic house with catchy lyrics, just like their previous work with Madison Beer, 'All Day and Night'.

1. 'No Time To Die' - Billie Eilish

   

   Following in the footsteps of Adele and Sam Smith, Billie Eilish has released her own James Bond theme tune, 'No Time To Die'.

   Released at the same time as a new trailer for the Daniel Craig film, the 18-year-old sings "Now you'll never see me cry," over a chilling piano melody.

2. 'Forever' - Justin Bieber feat. Post Malone & Clever

   

   Finally, Beliebers have got the collaboration they've all been waiting for - one between Justin Bieber and his close friend, Post Malone.

   'Forever' is one of the many collaborations on Justin's fifth studio album, 'Changes', and sees Post Malone rap about the struggles of a relationship.

3. 'To Die For' - Sam Smith

   

   Sam Smith teased the release of their single 'To Die For' by opening their very own wig shop, just as cryptic as all of the best pop stars.

   As they dropped their hit on Valentine's Day, Sam also announced that 'To Die For' is the title for their upcoming album, saying "I am more proud of this album than anything I've ever done."

4. 'Reminds Me' - Kim Petras

   

   Kim Petras has dropped her first banger of 2020, after she released her mixtape 'TURN OFF THE LIGHT'.

   'Reminds Me' is a steady trap ballad, and feels very fitting to her recent debut album, 'Clarity'.

Friday, 7 February 2020

1. 'Intentions' - Justin Bieber feat. Quavo

   

   Even though it's just a couple of days until the release of his fifth studio album, 'Changes', Justin Bieber dropped yet another single from it.

   'Intentions' sees him team up with Migos' Quavo in an attempt to support a nonprofit organisation, Alexandria House, which offers safe housing to women and children.

2. 'Birthday' - Anne-Marie

   

   Anne-Marie debuted her second era, ahead of the release of her album, which saw her, her hair and all of her social media go bright pink.

   'Birthday' is Anne-Marie's first single since she dueted with Lauv on 'lonely', and sees her feel herself as she sings "I'ma do what I like, I'ma eat what I like".

3. 'No Judgement' - Niall Horan

   

   While fans are eagerly awaiting for 'Heartbreak Weather', Niall Horan has graced them with his new tune, 'No Judgement'.

   Expect a catchy melody and an even catchier hook, as the Irish lad admitted that he couldn't be more excited for his fans to hear this song.

4. 'Know Your Worth' - Khalid, Disclosure

   

   One year ago, Khalid and Disclosure teamed up to bring us the anthem that was 'Talk'. Now, they've teamed up again to produce bassy dance banger.

   "Find someone who’ll love you at your worst," sings Khalid.

5. 'Experiment On Me' - Halsey

   

   First Megan Thee Stallion. Then Doja Cat. Now Halsey joins the elite list of female superstars who have released singles from the Harley Quinn flick, Birds of Prey.

   The banger is fierce and feisty, just like the movie, and sees Halsey really crank up the volume for the chorus, where she sings "I’m pretty like a car crash. Ugly as a lullaby."

6. 'Let's Be Friends' - Carly Rae Jepsen

   

   Just days before Valentine's Day, Carly Rae Jepsen has dropped a brand new song... But don't expect lovey-dovey lyrics; she's brought us a break-up bop.

   Carly Rae Jepsen giggles her way through the song, as she demands that she never speak again to her now-ex.
