Which are your personal picks for the greatest songs of the current decade to date, and why?

Since I mainly like pop music I go with Save Your Tears by The Weeknd. Too Sweet by Hozier deserves an honorable mention.
Can I cheat a little? I'm gonna cheat a little and say this:
It's not technically from the 2020s as the album it's on came out in October 2019. That said, it got released as a single and got this awesome video on February 2020, so, there.
First heard this a couple years ago and over time it's just continued to grow on me more and more, it's just so powerful, grand and epic but also feels personal and vulnerable at the same time. One of my favourite songs ever.
For best I would vote
Blew my mind, Steve Martin is amazing, incredible performance.
I don't go around a lot hunting for new music to listen to anymore (especially since I'm picky and what 'should' work for me usually doesn't), so I'm sure I'm missing a lot of music, but let's go with Tempest by Amorphis, my favourite band (metal, unlike what's been in this thread so far, also beware a bit of growling vocals if that's not your thing):
The album took a while to grow on me, but that it's grown on me, Tempest might be what I consider the best song, thanks to the great vocal performance and the lyrics (which is something I rarely appreciate in songs, but for one reason or another, I do in this one). It's probably not going to end up being my favourite song of the decade, at least in terms of how much I listen to it, but I certainly appreciate it a lot.
Here's some that come to mind.
Miranda Lambert - Waxahachie
Miranda Lambert - Ain't in Kansas Anymore
Miranda Lambert - I Hate Love Songs
blink-182 - Dance With Me
Tori Amos - Speaking with Trees
Caylee Hammack - New Level of Life
Iron Maiden - Hell on Earth
Maria Mena - You Broke Me
So hard to answer this question, it's like good music stopped in 2019, all the songs that I think that are from this decade are front the last one. I'm sure there are other contenders but I can only think of one worth mentioning...
Or maybe this, he is like Eminem in his prime.
Or perhaps this, a man that makes a dead genre feel new.
