Manic might be Halsey's most personal album yet and her latest single, "You Should Be Sad" absolutely proves that. Bringing to light her pain and heartache from her breakup with ex-BF G-Eazy, Halsey created the ultimate country revenge track that will soon be our go-to karaoke song from now on.

"Black Swan" - BTS

BTS's Map of the Soul Persona: 7 is one of the most anticipated albums of the year and the band finally dropped their first look into it with the track "Black Swan". The song's lyrics talk about losing your passion and fighting to get it back. It's clear that BTS aren't holding anything back when it comes to their lyrics and this might be one of their darkest projects yet.

"What a Man Gotta Do" - Jonas Brothers

Not only is this video super adorable, but the song is complete bop. While the JoBros haven't officially announced a new album for 2020, we sure hope there's more than this came from.

It's all thanks to them that we have a fun R&B track featuring two of Oakland's biggest queens who are no doubt having more fun with this than the fans.
