Beloved, young pop sensations Justin Bieber and One Direction have both released new songs today to make your Monday just a little better.

Justin Bieber’s ‘Recovery’

First up from Bieber is the fourth song to be released as part of his ongoing MusicMondays event in which he releases one new song every seven days for ten consecutive weeks. Today’s song is called “Recovery” and has a R&B vibe with a tone similar to what we’ve seen released from Bieber in previous weeks:

“Recovery” by Justin Bieber lyrics:

First, I’ll acknowledge
All trust has been broken
A successful recovery
I pray for us at night

Grants me with a second chance
Never thought I’d see your face again
Learning life through trial and error
Just tryna make it right.

Make it right
Make it right
Make it right
This time i’ll do you right

Missing your good intentions
Missing you from a distance
Hope you did the same

I know that I caused a problem
Know that I left you livid
Pushed you far away

Learned it don’t pay to lie
Cause i don’t wanna see you cry
Sayin nothin gets you nowhere fast
I’ma hold it back inside

But now that i’m back around ya
Nothing else really matters
Hope you feel the same

First, I’ll acknowledge
All trust has been broken
A successful recovery
I pray for us at night

Grants me with a second chance
Never thought I’d see your face again
Learning life through trial and error
Just tryna make it right.

Make it Right
Make it right
Make it right
This time i’ll do you right

I’m going through all the motions
Trying to find a reason
That we ended that way

Nothing in life is perfect
We’ll be changing like the seasons
That’s what they used to say

If it’s going to sleep alone at night
I don’t wanna close my eyes
Wanna give you all I have to give
I’m not holdin back this time

Now that i’m back around ya,
Nothin around me matters
Hope you feel the same

First, I’ll acknowledge
All trust has been broken
A successful recovery
I pray for us at night

Grants me with a second chance
Never thought I’d see your face again
Learning life through trial and error
And tryna make it right.

Make it right (make it right, make it right)
Make it right (make it right, make it right)
make it right (make it right, make it right)
this time i’ll do you right

You know I’ma do you right
You know I’ma do you right
You know I’ma do you right
You know I’ma do you right
I’ma do you right
You know I’ma do you right

Bieber has not set plans for the release of his next album, but a new 3D movie will be in theaters this December titled Believe.

One Direction’s ‘Story of My Life’

From One Direction comes the second single off their forthcoming album Midnight Memories titled “Story of My Life.” The song feels similar to one you’d expect from American singer Phillip Phillips in terms of its smooth delivery and rhythm. The group’s latest studio album will be released November 25.

“Story of My Life” by One Direction lyrics

Written in these walls are the stories that I can’t explain
I leave my heart open but it stays right here empty for days

She told me in the morning she don’t feel the same about us in her bones
It seems to me that when I die these words will be written on my stone

And I’ll be gone gone tonight
The ground beneath my feet is open wide
The way that I been holdin’ on too tight
With nothing in between

The story of my life I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
Is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life I give her hope
I spend her love until she’s broke inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

Written on these walls are the colors that I can’t change
Leave my heart open but it stays right here in its cage

I know that in the morning
I’ll see us in the light upon your ear
Although I am broken, my heart is untamed still

And I’ll be gone gone tonight
The fire beneath my feet is burning bright
The way that I been holdin’ on so tight
With nothing in between

The story of my life I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
Is frozen (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life I give her hope
I spend her love until she’s broke inside
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)

And I been waiting for this time to come around
But baby running after you is like chasing the clouds

The story of my life I take her home
I drive all night to keep her warm and time
Is frozen

The story of my life I give her hope (give her hope)
I spend her love until she’s broke inside (until she’s broke inside)
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life
The story of my life (the story of, the story of)
The story of my life
