Ah, fun creating a playlist with limited criteria – freedom feels so free! After dropping lists of songs selected with no rhyme or reason – with the most recent being 🎧 13 F Songs Selected with No Rhyme or Reason – we’re back with another NO RHYME OR REASON playlist! Keeping things random, the letter of choice for the latest edition just happens to be G, hence, 🎧 13 H Songs Selected with No Rhyme or Reason.
The main criteria for 🎧 13 H Songs Selected with No Rhyme or Reason are that the title of the song must begin with the letter ‘H’ OR the word that begins with ‘h’ must be the first word of note. 🎧 13 H Songs Selected with No Rhyme or Reason features music courtesy of 🎙 blackbear, 🎙 H.E.R., 🎙 Justin Bieber, 🎙 Lil Nas X, 🎙 Taylor Swift, and 🎙 The Weeknd among others. Without further ado, join into this random H-song list which has NO RHYME OR REASON!
1. Lil Nas X, “Holiday”
🎵 “Holiday” • 🏷 Columbia • 🗓 2020
It’s not deep mind you, but there’s a certain charm, likely captured more by the artist himself than the lyrics. Still, give the man credit for a bold lyric like “I might bottom on the low, but I top shit” 🏳️🌈. Slay! Besides the chorus, I love the gimmicky “dun, dun, dun” that appear on the pre-chorus, adding even more charm to this record. “Holiday” is a bop, period. It’s short but absolutely, positively sweet.

2. SZA, “Hit Different”
Ft. Ty Dolla $ign
🎵 “Hit Different” • 🏷 RCA • 📅 2020
The chorus is repetitive and simple, but highly effective.
“Hit different, hit different ...Hit different when I’m sittin’ here Alone all by myself Hit different when I think you might be With somebody else.”
As always, SZA delivers fine vocals. She sounds clear, sings with agility, and sounds absolutely beautiful. She sings about being in love in what is clearly a non-monogamous relationship where neither her nor her boyfriend are exclusive – woo! She never over sings, yet sounds incredibly compelling, nonetheless. All in all, SZA shines on “Hit Different,” ‘with a little help from her musical friends.’ Honestly, there’s something truly hypnotic about this particular R&B record.

3. blackbear, “hot girl bummer”
💿 everything means nothing • 🏷 Alamo / Interscope • 🗓 2020
Depending on who you ask, “hot girl bummer” was among the worst songs of 2019. That said, from my end of things, contextually, it’s an enjoyable start to the album. Ultimately, the word ‘hot’ begins with word H, and this list is all about H Songs Selected with No Rhyme or Reason.

4. H.E.R., “Hold On”
🎵 “Hold On” • 🏷 RCA • 🗓 2020
Of course, the biggest selling point of “Hold On” is none other than H.E.R. herself – 🚫🎩. She serves up beautiful, expressive, and nuanced vocals. As she has over the past few years, she sounds incredible. She’s always in command, without forcing things. In addition to her own marvelous instrument, great songwriting (matters of the heart) and a gorgeous melody give her awesome material to work with. The chorus is particularly sweet. For fans who enjoy R&B that feels modern yet incorporates cues from the past, “Hold On” should totally tickle your fancy.

5. Justin Bieber, “Holy”
Ft. Chance the Rapper
🎵 “Holy” • 🏷 Def Jam • 📅 2020
Early on, Bieber provides us with beautiful vocals showing off his lovely tone and soulful vibes. He sings two verses, supported by choral vocals on the catchy chorus that follows each.
“The way you hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me Feels so holy, holy, holy, holy, holy On God Runnin’ to the altar like a track star Can’t wait another second ‘Cause the way you hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me, hold me Feels so holy.”
As for Chance the Rapper, his verse is lengthy, beginning with melodic-driven rap before he opts for straight, agile, un-pitched rhymes. He’s the perfect fit. One final note, must shout-out how rousing “Holy” becomes towards the end, amplifying the gospel sensibilities even more. Praises!

6. Taylor Swift, “Happiness”
💿 evermore • 🏷 Taylor Swift • 📅 2020
As referenced above, “Happiness” is a slow moving, five-minute-plus joint. I applaud the way that it naturally builds up – it simmers. There are some nice harmonic elements in play, and I like the expressiveness of Swift’s lead vocals. At times, she’s more restrained, while a lyric like “Every goddamn night, now I get fake niceties” naturally gets more bite. If you hadn’t noticed, Swift curses the most she ever has on an album on evermore.
7. Morgan Wallen “Heartless”
💿 Dangerous: The Double Album • 🏷 Big Loud / Republic • 📅 2021
The chorus just screams crowd pleaser. Well, there’s probably a reason why that chorus is crowd-pleasing. The original version of “Heartless” appeared on the 2020 🎙 Diplo album, 💿 Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley Chapter 1: Snake Oil. In addition to Wallen guesting on that album’s penultimate track, 🎙 Julia Michaels also appears.

8. Ellie Goulding, “Hate Me”
💿 Brightest Blue • 🏷 Interscope • 📅 2020
“Hate Me” features no shortage of songwriters (eight) – typical of modern pop.
“Hate me, hate me, still tryna replace me Chase me, chase me, tell me how you hate me Erase me, ‘rase me, wish you never dated me Lies, tell me lies, baby, tell me how you hate me.”
Goulding performs the corny, though catchy, and self-explanatory chorus abruptly at the beginning. She goes on to perform the first verse, pre-chorus, and the chorus once more. Notably, on the pre-chorus, she references the idea of “It’s a thin line between all the love and hate…” Very true! Juice WRLD performs the second verse in all his emo-rap sensibilities, showcasing a nice flow that perfectly suits the record. “Hate Me” lacks depth, but it’s effective and ultimately enjoyable.
9. Maluma & The Weeknd, “Hawái (Remix)”
🎵 “Hawái (Remix)” • 🏷 Sony Latin • 🗓 2020
Here, the artists reference their respective former flames supposed faux happiness via a vacation in Hawaii, intact with cute IG pics. From there, the sole verse arrives, courtesy of Maluma, reprised from the original. He discusses his ex-lover and these things she’s doing post-relationship, again, particularly via IG. He can see through the façade. Definitely entertaining.

10. The Weeknd, “Heartless”
💿 After Hours • 🏷 Republic • 📅 2020
Besides those badass, cocky lyrics, The Weekend has an incredibly sleek backdrop to work with courtesy of 🎛 Metro Boomin and 🎛 Illangelo. The beat pummels while they synths are equally potent. Combine that with confident, distinct, and unapologetic vocals from Tesfaye, and “Heartless” is nothing short of a surefire bop.

11. Conan Gray, “Heather”
💿 Kid Krow • 🏷 Republic • 🗓 2020
Gray is totally illogical here mind you, but he’s very relatable. The chorus is a prime example of just how relatable the sentiment of the song is. On the chorus, he sings:
“Why would you ever kiss me? I’m not even half as pretty You gave her your sweater, it’s just polyester But you like her better (I wish I were Heather).”

12. Kygo & Whitney Houston, “Higher Love”
💿 Golden Hour • 🏷 RCA • 📅 2020
What’s great about this recording is that it sounds like classic Whitney Houston, while also sounding like what she might’ve sounded like in the 2020s. Houston passed away at the age of 48 in 2012. Clearly, “Higher Love” showcases her at her peak. Her voice sounds amazing – high-flying as it did during her heyday. All in all, the record is an energetic, upbeat, uplifting song; definitely a feel-good pop-soul record.

13. Travis Scott, “Highest in the Room”
🎵 “Highest in the Room” • 🏷 Epic • 📅 2019
“When I’m with you, I feel alive / You say you love me, don’t you lie / Won’t cross my heart, don’t wanna die / Keep the pistol on my side…” Scott delivers easy-going, low-key rhymes. He doesn’t necessarily say much ‘explicitly,’ but reading into his lyrics, such as the aforementioned excerpt from the first verse, you can trace some of the personal elements, including his relationship with Kylie Jenner. Scott also references the vices of fame, including literally being high, etc. The chorus is simple, but effective given the weight of ‘vibes’ when it comes to Travis’ music:
“Case it’s fumes (Smoke) She fill my mind up with ideas (Straight up) I’m the highest in the room (It’s lit) Hope I make it outta here (Let’s go, yeah).”
Shifting back to the production, there are some additional cues during the final minute of the record that maintain the freshness and also elevate the energy and intensity level up a notch. “Highest in the Room” is pretty hypnotic throughout.
