This eclectic playlist is as much a reflection of our individual tastes as it is of our frames of mind, where beauty editor Ashleigh Cometti's penchant for pop meets digital producer Julia Gessler's love for slow soul and creative director Dan Ahwa's challenge to narrow it down to just five songs (you'll find nine equally great choices from him instead).

For commercial editor Emma Gleason, these are the songs she plays in the morning: "They pick me up and get me going, laying a foundation of joy and good vibes that flows through the rest of the day."
