Ever had one of those days where you just need a musical pick-me-up? Look no further than DRAM, the artist who’s mastered the art of turning frowns upside down with his infectious beats and feel-good lyrics.

In this article, we’ll break down 5 of DRAM’s most uplifting tracks and reveal the secret ingredients—whether it’s a funky bassline, a catchy hook, or lyrics that feel like a warm hug—that make them instant mood-boosters.

1. “Broccoli” (feat. Lil Yachty)

This 2016 viral hit is pure joy in audio form.

The bouncy, minimalist beat feels like a trampoline for your ears, while DRAM and Yachty’s playful back-and-forth lyrics (“I’m like, ‘Hey, what’s up? Hello’”) are irresistibly silly.

It works because it doesn’t take itself seriously—just like dancing in your pajamas.

2. “Cash Machine”

With its disco-inspired groove and shimmering synths, this track is a sonic smile.

DRAM’s smooth vocals and the recurring cash-register “cha-ching” sound effect create a celebration of life’s little wins.

Pro tip: Try listening without tapping your foot—we dare you.

3. “Cute”

A love letter to self-confidence, “Cute” pairs a retro-soul vibe with lyrics that feel like a pep talk from your hype-bestie.

The horn section alone could brighten a rainy day, but it’s DRAM’s delivery—half-singing, half-grinning—that seals the deal.

4. “Best Hugs”

True to its title, this track wraps you in musical warmth.

The laid-back guitar riff and DRAM’s buttery vocals celebrate simple pleasures (“You got the best hugs / Better than all my friends”).

It’s audio proof that happiness often comes in small packages.

5. “All Pride Aside” (with Summer Walker)

While slower than the others, this duet’s raw honesty about vulnerability is oddly uplifting.

The stripped-down piano and harmonies create a safe space to embrace emotions—because sometimes the happiest songs let you feel everything first.

DRAM’s magic lies in blending nostalgia, playfulness, and groove into tracks that feel like instant serotonin.

Next time life hands you lemons, press play on these—and maybe add a little broccoli.
