Study-friendly Western songs/BGM recommended for junior high school students (1–10)
CenturiesFall Out Boy

Fall Out Boy keeps putting out albums at a quick pace, never giving their fans a chance to get bored.
It’s not just the pace that keeps things fresh—the sound they create captivates listeners, too.
Each song seems to tell its own story, and every lyric feels powerful.
In an interview, they said this track was made around the theme of a small person overcoming the greatest obstacles.
Locked Out Of HeavenBruno Mars

The album it was included on was also selected as Best Pop Vocal Album at the 2013 Grammy Awards.
While the lyrics strongly reflect themes such as the environment and culture, its addictive rhythm makes it a track you’ll want to play on repeat.
Good LifeG-Eazy & Kehlani

It is a soundtrack from The Fate of the Furious.
As the title “Good Life” suggests, the lyrics are bright and positive, and the way it gradually shifts from a gentle intro to an up-tempo beat seems perfect for a pleasant wake-up.
Let It BeThe Beatles

A timeless hit by the Beatles, the world-famous rock band that everyone likely knows.
Its gentle melody has a calming effect, so I believe it can give studying junior high school students a small sense of ease—I definitely recommend giving it a listen.
The Real MeThe Who

It’s a classic by a legendary British rock band.
In this song, The Who’s bassist John Entwistle delivers an exceptionally lively, leading bass that drives the band and creates an incredible groove.
I think even today’s middle schoolers would really like it, and I’d love for them to listen to it while studying.
happyPharrell Williams

With its light, infectious groove and the unique tempo crafted by Pharrell, this track is guaranteed to be on heavy rotation.
Hailing from the United States, this multifaceted singer not only has an impressive list of accolades as a music producer— including a 2015 Grammy for work on Daft Punk’s track— but also shines as a performer in his own right.
The song serves as the theme for the film Despicable Me.
We Own It2 Chainz & Wiz Khalifa

This track is from the soundtrack of Fast & Furious 6 (Euro Mission).
It matches the movie with a sense of speed, and the chorus is an up-tempo section that lifts your spirits even more.
It’s a recommended song for middle school boys.
