Fun Western pop songs—tunes that make you feel happy just by listening

Call Me MaybeCarly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe

Canadian singer-songwriter Carly Rae Jepsen’s biggest hit is Call Me Maybe.

I think many people have heard its impactful chorus.

With its simple, easy-to-understand message and her smiling performance, it’s a song that gives you energy.

I especially recommend it to women in love and to young people.

Feel MeSelena Gomez

Selena Gomez – Feel Me (Lyric Video)

This work was first unveiled at a live performance in 2016.

After that, it remained unreleased until 2020, when it was included on the album Rare.

The lyrics are quite bittersweet, expressing feelings that the singer can’t forget about a lover, yet the song has a moderately upbeat, mid-tempo groove.

With a touch of tropical flair and a sparse arrangement, it’s a track that lets Selena Gomez’s clear vocals shine.

The lyrics are brimming with love in the most refreshing way, and together with the breezy sound, it’s a song that overflows with happiness.

With realistic lyrics born from busking experiences, it’s a song that seems destined to be loved for years to come.

A classic that enjoyed a long run on TikTok as well.

You’ll hear it right away: beyond the catchy melody, her uniquely distinctive voice is irresistibly addictive.

It’s so catchy that once you hear it, it sticks in your head.

Just the opening vocals and cutting guitar instantly lift your spirits.

The Jonas Brothers’ January 2020 track is an upbeat number with a tight, satisfying groove that brightens you from the inside out.

In the hands of these brothers, any song becomes powerful and dramatic in a flash! The lyrics are wonderful too—like a dependable best friend who stays by the side of someone feeling down or struggling at work or school, gently giving them a supportive pat on the back.

Martin Garrix feat. Clinton Kane – Drown (Official Video)

A break featuring a beautiful melody that feels like you can hear a massive sing-along from the crowd on the dance floor, and a drop that uses tension and release in a way that epitomizes the 2020s—true new-generation sound.

It’s a singalong-friendly dance-pop track featuring singer-songwriter Clinton Kane.

In stark contrast to past EDM, it forgoes flashy effects and over-the-top drum rolls, opting for a relatively gentle arrangement that feels pleasant.

Perhaps this is the kind of mood the times are calling for.
