Did a song in 2025 leave an indelible mark on your soul? We want to hear about it! Whether it’s a track that became your anthem, a melody that brought tears to your eyes, or lyrics that felt like they were written just for you, we’re all ears. And here’s where it gets personal: why did this song resonate so deeply? Was it the timing, the raw emotion, or something entirely unexpected? But here’s where it gets controversial: Do you think music in 2025 has lost its ability to truly move us, or did this year prove otherwise? We’re diving into the songs that hit hardest, and we need your voice to tell the story.
Here’s how to share: Grab your phone and record a voice memo telling us about that one song from 2025 that stood out. Don’t hold back—let us know why it mattered to you. Email your audio to allsongs@npr.org, and your story might just make it onto an upcoming episode of All Songs Considered. And this is the part most people miss: Even if you’re not a professional critic, your perspective matters. Music is personal, and we want to celebrate that.
When you submit, make sure to include:
- Your first name
- Your city
