Poptastic Confessions!: #19 of 2025

Dear Poptastic Readers,

If you are just joining us, we have been counting down our Top 101 Songs of 2025 with a new song every day. See the past entries below. Tomorrow, we feature the next song in the countdown.

#19 in Poptastic Confessions Top 101 Songs of 2025 is: “Dopamine” by Robyn. Click on the name of the song to see what we said about it earlier this year.

Written by: Robin Carlsson, Klas Ahlund, and Taio Cruz
Produced by: Robyn and Klas Ahlund

Why: It was really nice to have Robyn back, even if near the end of the year. "Dopamine" is instantly catchy, and also a grower as we are liking it more every time we hear it. It has a few tempo changes, but when it picks up, the droning bassline will have you moving in no time. The chorus is amazingly catchy, and Robyn is delivering the vocals with lots of emotion.

Watch: The music video shows Robyn with a fan and some sparklers proving that you don't need a big budget for an effective video. We've added it to our 2025 Poptastic Confessions YouTube Playlist ...
