[2025] Up! Up! Up! Recommended Western songs that will get you hyped.

AloneMarshmello

Marshmello – Alone (Fortnite Music Video)

Even listening to it now, it’s a sound that really conjures the future.

It’s a catchy song, but it sings about feelings of loneliness, saying in the lyrics that no one pays attention and that home is the best.

Even so, there’s a desire of “I want to be acknowledged” and “I still want girls to notice me.” That bittersweet message further elevates the melody and leaves an emotional impression.

It’s a reissue of a song released in 2016.

XJonas Brothers ft. Karol G

Jonas Brothers ft. KAROL G – X (Official Lyric Video)

This is a very cheerful number with samba rhythms and Latin melodies.

Since their comeback in 2019, they’ve mainly been releasing pop songs close to rock, but this one is straight-up dance pop.

Released on May 14, 2020, it totally captures the summer vibe in advance! With the ongoing impact of COVID-19 keeping people from going out, and as we head into the rainy season, it feels like this track is meant to blow away that heavy mood.

It’s almost as if that message comes through in the work itself.

It features reggaeton singer Karol G.

JealousyPale Waves

Pale Waves – Jealousy (Official Video)

Pale Waves are a band that represents Dirty Hit—one of the most talked-about labels in the world, home to many popular artists like The 1975, beabadoobee, and Rina Sawayama.

Fronted by the irresistibly charismatic Heather Baron-Gracie and known for an ensemble that embraces multiple genres while staying true to guitar rock, they’re hugely popular in Japan as well.

From October to November 2022, they returned to Japan for long-awaited shows that generated massive excitement.

This time, we’re spotlighting Jealousy, a track from their third album Unwanted, released the same year.

It’s an undeniable killer tune that kicks off with the most aggressive and loud guitar riff in Pale Waves’ history—perfect for a wake-up jolt to get your energy up.

Chosen as the final song of the encore during their Japan shows, it’s poised to become one of their new signature tracks.

Lines like “Jealousy is my best friend,” so quintessentially Heather, are striking, and the lyrics—said to reflect her own personality—are well worth a close listen.

Good Luck, Babe!Chappell Roan

Chappell Roan – Good Luck, Babe! (Official Lyric Video)

If you’re looking for energizing Western pop tracks, I recommend songs by Chappell Roan.

An American singer-songwriter, Chappell is known for dark, sentimental keyboard-driven pop influenced by Lorde and Lana Del Rey.

Released in April 2024, this work stays true to her discography’s exploration of queer identity and sexuality while portraying a secret relationship with a lover struggling under societal pressures.

Blending pop sonics with a dark, unsettling tone, the track highlights its intense, brooding lyrics and speaks to the difficulty of being honest about one’s emotions.

Chappell’s vocals, which show empathy for those struggling with self-acceptance, are sure to resonate with you.

Among his works, the one that especially gets you hyped is “Sorry.” Rather than a cluttered sound, the relatively simple, streamlined track is sure to lift your energy.

Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande – Rain On Me (Official Music Video)

The smash hit “Rain On Me” by Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande.

The collaboration between Lady Gaga, a diva who enjoyed global popularity from 2008 to 2012, and Ariana Grande, the reigning pop diva of today, generated buzz from the start and may well have been a major factor in its success.
