Like it or not, it’s officially back-to-school season.

Can’t you just smell the scent of freshly-sharpened pencils? Okay, maybe that’s just us!

Anyway, we think there’s no better way to celebrate the beginning of the new year than with a solid list of hits to get us through those all-nighter study sessions!

When we think of school, we think MOTIVATION.

And [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Kelly Rowland[/lastfm] sure is giving us that extra boost we need to keep on studying.

Want to see her perform this big hit live?

She’s touring alongside [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Chris Brown[/lastfm], [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]T- Pain[/lastfm], and [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Tyga[/lastfm] later this fall.
