Western songs to listen to while running/jogging (11–20)
Lose ControlMeduza, Becky Hill, Goodboys
When you go running, many of you probably like to listen to fast-tempo tracks and run lightly in sync with the beat, right? For those people, I recommend this track: “Lose Control.” Created by the world-renowned music producer Meduza, the electro duo Goodboys, and the powerfully voiced Becky Hill, this piece offers a deeply immersive experience centered on deep house.
Love AgainDua Lipa
Dua Lipa’s classic, “Love Again.” When people think of Dua Lipa, many picture a stylish sound rooted in house music.
This track, however, differs from the house style that’s become her signature, instead delivering a nostalgic pop piece that evokes the late 1970s.
The prominent bass combined with Dua Lipa’s lower register will have you feeling totally energized!
DANCE MONKEYTones and I
The Australian artist Tones and I is known for her highly distinctive voice.
Her stylish, unique vocals—delivered in a piercing, raspy tone—make a powerful impact.
Among her works, a particularly recommended track is Dance Monkey.
This song is one of her signature hits and became a massive success worldwide.
Its melody is unique yet cool, and it also has an irresistible, upbeat groove.
It’s perfect for running or jogging, so be sure to check it out.
Don’t Be ShyTiësto & Karol G
The classic track “Don’t Be Shy” by Tiësto and Karol G.
It’s a collaboration between two artists who represent Latin music, resulting in a very catchy pop tune.
While it’s essentially crafted as dance electro-pop, you can feel a Latin music flavor in Karol G’s verse.
If you’re looking for an upbeat song to accompany your running or jogging, be sure to check it out.
INDUSTRY BABYLil Nas X, Jack Harlow
The classic hit “INDUSTRY BABY” by Lil Nas X and Jack Harlow.
Lil Nas X is well-known as an artist who openly identifies as gay, and his performances are distinctive for boldly spotlighting that identity.
Jack Harlow is also known for his catchy and unique musical style that rivals Lil Nas X’s.
With these two collaborating, it’s no surprise the song turned out uniquely crafted.
The upbeat sound is sure to make jogging or walking feel easier!
STAYThe Kid LAROI, Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber, an artist who garnered support from women and had an idol-like presence.
Even now, his popularity among women is tremendous, but unlike his earlier direction, he now focuses mainly on authentic R&B and hip-hop.
A work that showcases his growth is “STAY.” This track centers on synth-pop, a trend of the 2020s, and overall it’s put together as an upbeat piece.
Synth-pop is perfect as background music for running or jogging, so be sure to check it out.
