Well, we’re into the second week of 2024, and as with any New Year, lots of people like to get started on the right foot by setting resolutions for themselves. Typically, new year’s resolutions focus on a particular goal for self-improvement or accomplishments or maybe places we’d like to visit. They’re really up to the individual.

Let’s check in on some of your resolutions and how they’re going so far. Are there songs to describe them or “what’s in and what’s out” for 2024?

So for today’s 9:30 Coffee Break, what songs that describe how your resolutions are going so far — or “what’s in and what’s out” — do you want to hear?


Respond with your song ideas in the comments below.
