Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time” on tape, with “Sometimes” on the B-side.

Any song off The Sound of White album by Missy Higgins.

… that takes her back to being in love for the first time
“Yellow” by Coldplay.

Anything by Beyoncé.
… of her own that had the most surprising impact
My cover of “I Love You Always Forever”. I didn’t expect anything out of it and it’s my most successful song to date.

“Missing You”.

“Wanna Be” has applied to multiple people in my life so it’s constantly evolving for me.
