Backyard Boy – Claire Roosinkranz
If you have been on TikTok at all in the last few months, you may have heard this song a couple hundred times. Everything about “Backyard Boy” is easily lovable, from the indie feel to the lyrics one cannot help but sing along to.

Taking on the alternative and indie tone of music, “Cardigan” is definitely a song that should be on one’s playlist, if only to experience the honest and true emotions that are openly portrayed and only add to how incredible the single is overall.
