I like listening to inspirational songs, which teach me how to live my life in a right way. Every time I feel upset or tired, pop music will cheer me up. The song I like best is The Original Dream by Fan Weiqi. This song inspires me to pursue my dream and never give up. This is a song full of positive energy and great power, and I think it is very pleasant to hear.
I think listening to pop music is very beneficial to us. We should learn something positive from it.
