Kesha – Raising Hell (Official Video) ft. Big Freedia

With a South American-style rhythm reminiscent of soccer chants and the powerful drive of gospel music, this feel-good track is “Raising Hell,” a collaboration between the notorious singer Kesha and Big Freedia.

The deeply resonant sub-bass, along with high-energy vocals, claps, and brass that can match its intensity, will lift your spirits! With its Latin house vibe, it’s an essential pick for cheer performances at soccer stadiums!

Even though it’s a band song, it’s not too intense, and I felt it’s a track that many people can get into.

Even people who aren’t interested in dance can enjoy it by moving to the rhythm with choreography they come up with themselves, so I’d definitely like this song to be used.

I thought it would look cool and really hype up the crowd.

Marshmello, the globally beloved producer, has collaborated with two hot artists! YUNGBLUD, the new-generation British rock singer known as Halsey’s boyfriend, and blackbear, famous for “Hot Girl Summer,” whose candid lyrics have captured the hearts of young listeners.

“Tongue Tied” is a lavish blend of three genres: hip-hop, rock, and house music.

It’s a perfect track to fire up athletes’ competitive spirit and boost the energy of any venue!

What makes you beautifulOne Direction

One Direction – What Makes You Beautiful (Official Video)

It’s a smash hit by One Direction, the world-famous idol vocal group representing the UK.

It’s hard to imagine anyone not feeling energized after hearing this song.

It’s well known not only in Japan but around the world as an anthem for young people.

The verses and pre-chorus are relatively mid-tempo, so if you cue it from the chorus and use it as BGM, it will definitely hype up the crowd!

After its release, its aptly happy and catchy message was praised around the world, and countless dance videos were uploaded to YouTube.

Slow DownSelena Gomez

Selena Gomez – Slow Down (Official)

I think it’s a really exciting and enjoyable song.

It can be used for any kind of dance, and it’s suitable for both boys and girls, so I thought it would be an easy choice for sports days or school athletic festivals.

I felt that if a large group danced to this song, it would make great memories.

MirrorSigrid

Sigrid – Mirror (Official Video)

Sigrid is a singer from Norway.

In the 2010s, her popularity was mostly limited to Norway and the Nordic region, but now she’s active on the global stage.

Among her works, a track I recommend as BGM for cheer dance is Mirror.

The first half opens quietly and coolly, almost like deep house, but once the chorus hits, the groovy, dazzling vocal line—reminiscent of Maroon 5—really stands out.

It’s a perfect match for cool choreography, so be sure to check it out.
