The Water-Saving Shower Playlist For World Water Day

The shower is the best place to belt out a song or two and there really is nowhere else that matches your bathroom for acoustics. But could a shower playlist actually help you to save water while you’re in the shower?

Science has proven that singing in the shower is fun for a reason and that’s because your voice always sounds remarkably better, thanks to the smooth surfaces that your notes can bounce off.

This singing phenomenon has spread far and wide, with thousands of Spotify users creating playlists dedicated solely to a soapy singing session. For World Water Day, Mira showers have analysed thousands of user-created playlists to discover the world’s most favourite songs to sing whilst showering, to encourage more time-efficient showers that benefit the environment and your physical health.

We’ve worked with Abbas Kanani, a Pharmacist at Chemist Click, alongside analysing Spotify tracks to find out the world’s favourite 4-minute songs to sing in the shower. You can then shuffle the playlist and shower away to two songs max for a perfectly timed water-saving shower!

"Repair conditioner usually requires you to leave it on for around 15 minutes. There are different types of conditioners and most of them will usually state on the bottle, exactly how long you need to leave it on for."

"Most people who tend to take longer showers will have the temperature of the water quite hot. Whilst this can be relaxing for your muscles, it can irritate your skin, leaving it itchy and dry. Hot water causes damage to the outer layers of the skin, which can cause skin irritation. Hot water can also dry the scalp, causing dandruff and an itchy scalp. It can also weaken the roots of the hair, causing it to become frizzy, brittle, and easily breakable. However, warm water opens the pores on the skin and scalp, helping to remove oil, dirt and sweat, so a lukewarm shower is optimum."

Our Mira Shower App can also help you be more mindful of water usage, giving you visibility of how long your showers last and how much water you’re using through our precise tracking system. This not only makes it easier to save water, track bills, and help the environment but also to be kinder to your hair and skin!
