4. "Tell Her" – Ella Mai

With “Tell Her,” Ella Mai dives deep into themes of love and betrayal, lacing her smooth R&B vocals over a sleek trap beat. Echoes of Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name” give the song nostalgic flair, while Ella’s signature soulful delivery makes it unmistakably fresh.

8. "Jealous Type" – Doja Cat

Doja Cat leans into her disco-pop roots with “Jealous Type,” a catchy, danceable track layered with shimmering synths and her signature airy vocals. A rap verse adds spice to this song about the confusing mess of modern love. Think “Say So” or “Kiss Me More”, but even more self-aware.
