Loud Luxury x Two Friends feat. Bebe Rexha – If Only I (Official Video)

Bebe Rexha is one of the most prominent female singers in today’s dance music scene.

If you follow the dance scene, you’ve probably heard her tracks all the time.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend as BGM for cheer dance and cheerleading is “If Only I.” It blends tropical house and electronic elements, maintaining a high level of energy throughout.

Since it doesn’t have much dynamic contrast, I think it’s better suited for cheer dance.
