Covid-19 has essentially stopped all forms of group gatherings making social distancing as detrimental as the virus itself. These restrictions placed on social “get-togethers” have especially affected the world of music in which live performances and concerts have all been canceled.

Fortunately, this has not stopped artists from creating outstanding music.

As the year 2020 continues, many artists have been heavily impacted by Covid-19. Their songs have begun to reflect their ongoing experiences when dealing with the pandemic. With so many artists tackling this major worldwide issue, their inspired songs have created a plethora of tunes with different heart-warming messages. This has generated a large range of songs related to all forms of coping methods for people around the world. This accumulation of songs has undoubtedly created a new era of music for the year 2020 with the purpose of connecting people through music.

However, as the virus continues to take over people’s lives, artists have also made music outside of pandemic content. These new tunes have given music lovers amazing new hits to love and listen to. Here is a list of songs inspired by the virus and some 2020 songs that go great with the pandemic vibe!
