The Friday Drop: Tate McRae, Little Mix, The Weeknd, and More New Music This Week

"I'm a big fan of McRae's 'Broke Me First,' so I immediately knew 'Lie to Me' would be a bop even before I heard it. McRae has a way of putting all those hard emotions into words and making them sound so beautiful that you almost forget she's singing about heartbreak. I've had this one on repeat all Friday morning." — Monica Sisavat, editor, celebrity and entertainment

"Something about Carson's voice is an instant mood booster. When she sang 'I guess I'm a liar now' and the beat dropped, I felt that in my bones. I'm not currently getting over a breakup myself, but if I was, I would definitely be playing this song on repeat! (Who am I kidding? I already am!)" — Kelsie Gibson, editor, celebrity and entertainment

"Look, I admit I was a little wary when I first heard about this collab, however, when I finally listened, I was pleasantly surprised. 'In Your Eyes' happens to be my favorite song from The Weeknd's After Hours album, and Kenny's sultry saxophone breaks only make this song sexier! They just work so well together — who knew?" — Monica Sisavat, editor, celebrity and entertainment

"I love a self-love anthem and Little Mix has always delivered right when I need one! Not only does 'Happiness' have a dance beat that sent me rumpshaking in my living room, but the song hits all the right notes for self-affirmation. Knowing how much these women have gone through makes the song even more powerful, because if anyone knows how hard it is to stand in your power, it's these women. No one could possibly rain on your parade after you give this bop a listen, and I'll be damned if you don't find your happiness between the powerful runs of Misses Leigh-Anne, Jade, Jesy, and Perrie!!" — Mekishana Pierre, associate editor, celebrity and entertainment

"Can I just talk about how excited I am for Irwin's solo album, Superbloom? After rising to fame as the drummer of 5 Seconds of Summer, Irwin is giving us a glimpse of his voice (both literally and lyrically) with his introspective new tracks. In a time where many people are feeling down, this emotional song about rising up and staying strong couldn't be more timely." — Kelsie Gibson, editor, celebrity and entertainment

"I don't even have AirPods, but I'm currently loving this song. The beat just hooks you in and gets you nodding your head along almost as if in a trance. Plus, the chorus of somewhat nonsense words like 'di, di, tam, di, di, di, di, tam, tam' are essentially an earworm. At one point, I was humming it to myself for quite a while before I realized I was even doing it. It's definitely one of those songs you'll try to describe to someone and not be able to remember the right words. Either way, it'll give you something new to listen to in your preferred method of headphone." — Grayson Gilcrease, assistant editor, celebrity and entertainment

"If you're looking for the perfect dance track to blare in your room this weekend, it's Hilton's 'I Blame You' with LODATO. Not only will the beat make you bop your head from side to side, but it's for a good cause. The proceeds for the song go to Breaking Code Silence, a movement that hopes to spread awareness about Troubled Teen Industry, which Hilton recently spoke out about in her documentary, This Is Paris." — Kelsie Gibson, editor, celebrity and entertainment
