Luckily, PAPER is here to help you out: each week, we round up 10 of our favorite new songs from artists — emerging and established — to soundtrack your life. From the surreal to the sublime, these songs cover every corner of the music world. The only criteria: they all have to absolutely rip.
Lana Del Rey — "For Free (feat. Zella Day and Weyes Blood)"
The highlights of Lana Del Rey's long-awaited Norman Fucking Rockwell! follow-up Chemtrails Over The Country Club are numerous, but the best is saved for last: this graceful, gorgeous cover of Joni Mitchell's "For Free," featuring Zella Day and Weyes Blood.
Justin Bieber — "Die For You (feat. Dominic Fike)"
Pop's mischievous, high-glam kings unite at long last for this bruised, wonderful duet from Justin Bieber's surprise-released Justice.

glaive — "i wanna slam my head against the wall"
"i wanna slam my head against the wall" is structurally more complicated than any glaive songs released so far, but that's no issue when the song is this addictive.
Saweetie — "Best Friend (feat. Doja Cat, JessB and Okenyo)"
Antipodean stars JessB and Okenyo, two secret weapons in pop right now, put their own spin on Saweetie's "Best Friend," and the result is distinct, specific and profoundly earworm-y.
ENNY — "Same Old"

Nasty Cherry — "Her Body"
