Hidden gems of music/BGM for studying Western music

I put together a playlist of Western songs that seem perfect as background music to help you study.

They’re not so loud that they’ll distract you, but most have a comfortable tempo and a bright tone that can lift your mood and keep you motivated.

Give it a try as a companion for self-study.
