Upbeat songs are perfect for getting everyone excited, right? That’s why I want to introduce “Up & Down.” It’s a collaborative track by the music duo The Chainsmokers and Canadian rapper 347aidan.

With a mid-tempo sound centered around guitar, it has an overall rock-like vibe.

The lyrics depict the energy of getting hyped up while being swept along in a crowd.

That lively imagery is so fun that it makes you feel thrilled just listening to it.

Their signature is an emotional, stylish sound, and that unique appeal shines through in Call You Mine as well.

Bebe Rexha’s vocals in the collaboration are beautiful, and you can’t help but get drawn in.

Of course, the clear rhythm also makes it perfect for dancing.

A collaboration between Tiësto and Karol G, this song brims with exotic appeal and was released in August 2021.

Its catchy hook and smooth vocals weave a sound that naturally draws listeners to the dance floor.

With lyrics themed around self-expression and self-acceptance, it encourages listeners to live freely.

Whether for a drive or a party, this track is sure to make your summer even more enjoyable.

Released in May 2019, this track by Tycho—who has devoted fans worldwide thanks to a sound that spans genres like electronica, chillwave, and shoegaze—comes in both an instrumental and a vocal-featured version.

An undisputed classic among classics by the rock band that represents the hard rock scene, Van Halen’s “Jump,” remixed in an EDM style.

An unexpected “Van-Van” collaboration by two acts—Armin van Buuren, known as the prince of trance.

A new anthem that spotlights the track’s most defining new hook to the fullest, elevated with cutting-edge soft synths for a powerful, weighty sound.
