Did a song in 2025 leave you utterly speechless, moved to tears, or simply on repeat for days? Music has this uncanny ability to capture our deepest emotions, and we want to hear about the track that did just that for you this year.
Here’s your chance to share your story. Grab your phone and record a voice memo telling us about that one song from 2025 that hit you hard. Maybe it was the lyrics that felt like they were written just for you, the melody that transported you to another place, or the raw emotion that made it impossible to forget. Whatever it was, we want to hear how it connected with you in a way no other song did this year.
But here’s where it gets controversial: Is it the song itself that moves us, or is it the moment we’re in when we hear it? Does the power of a song lie in its composition, or in the personal experiences we attach to it? We’d love to hear your thoughts on this as you share your story.
Send your audio file to us at allsongs@npr.org, and your voice might just be featured on an upcoming episode of All Songs Considered. Don’t forget to include these details:
- Your first name
- Your city
- The song title and artist
- Why or how it resonated so deeply with you this year
Not a fan of voice memos? No problem! You can also share your story via email (allsongs@npr.org) or by filling out the form below. And this is the part most people miss: Your story doesn’t have to be grand or dramatic—it just needs to be honest. Even the simplest connection to a song can reveal something profound about who we are and what we feel.
So, what’s your 2025 song? And more importantly, what does it say about you? Let’s start the conversation—we can’t wait to hear from you!
