[2025] Recommended for Summer! A Roundup of Dance Music in Western Pop

How To Love ft Sofia ReyesCash Cash

Cash Cash – How To Love ft Sofia Reyes (Official Video)

This will probably be the leading contender for this summer’s anthem.

It’s already been released and is popular around the world, and I think it will keep that momentum through the summer.

Since it’s dance music that especially appeals to women, let’s play it on the beach or at parties and get everyone pumped up.

Higher ft. Nipsey Hussle, John LegendDJ Khaled

DJ Khaled – Higher (Official Video) ft. Nipsey Hussle, John Legend

A soulful hip-hop track produced by DJ Khaled and released in May 2019.

It features Nipsey Hussle, a highly skilled West Coast artist who was tragically shot and killed in March of the same year outside his own store, and John Legend, a soul singer with numerous hit songs.

With its memorial theme, the song became a major hit and a tribute to him.

Westside StoryDJ Snake

DJ Snake – Westside Story

For those who like disco music, I also recommend “Westside Story.” It’s a track produced by the French music producer DJ Snake.

It’s a disco tune with a pleasant synthesizer sound, characterized by the incorporation of funk elements.

The funk influence comes through especially strongly in the latter half, giving it a cool vibe.

By the way, the tempo is somewhat slow, so it’s also a good fit when you want to cool down.

How about a song from the globally popular genre called Trap? Trap features unique rhythm patterns and minimal, sparse arrangements that are cool precisely because of their simplicity, and it’s gradually gaining popularity in Japan as well.

“Enzo” is a massive worldwide hit, featuring a collaboration of top musicians in the Trap scene, including DJ Snake.

Daddy Yankee & Snow – Con Calma (Video Oficial)

Daddy Yankee is a world-famous deejay who represents dancehall reggae, with numerous massive hits to his name.

This track, Con Calma, is a collaboration with a Canadian reggae singer.

It’s a quintessential dancehall reggae production with an overall cool, polished vibe.

A dancehall track with such a refreshing feel is quite rare, so if you want to stay cool through the summer with reggae, be sure to check it out.

Many people probably feel like listening to Latin music in the summer.

A great dance track that incorporates those Latin rhythms is “Con Calma.” The rhythm is reggaeton, but it also brings in lots of electro elements in its sound, which makes it really cool.

It’s the perfect kind of song to dance to in the summer.

I’m Good (Blue)David Guetta & Bebe Rexha

An exceptional track has arrived to ignite the summer dance floor! The world-renowned, hit-making powerhouse DJ David Guetta has released an exhilarating dance number featuring Bebe Rexha as a guest.

Initially previewed in August 2022, the song gained traction through a viral surge on TikTok and was officially released, surpassing 1 billion streams worldwide.

Blending lyrics that capture the thrill of a night out at the club with a masterful sample of Eiffel 65’s ’90s classic, it delivers a perfect dose of summer liberation.

It’s also ideal as background music for a seaside drive or a party.
