Former vocal coach specializing in Western music Ryo Under the theme of “vocal skills that stand up on the world stage,” I have experience teaching as an online vocal coach specializing in Western music, and I usually listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. In my teens, I questioned the idea that “foreign music equals English,” and started exploring songs from around the world. My commentary is characterized by a unique perspective shaped by listening to music of every genre, in every language, from every country. I mainly cover world music, so be sure to check it out!
“I just can’t get pumped up…” If you’re a music lover, you probably have a stash of songs that lift your spirits when you feel like that.
In this article, we’re focusing on Western music and carefully selecting upbeat tracks that are popular with many people.
We’ll try to include as many newer songs as possible.
In the latter half, we’ll also feature timeless classics—nostalgic hits that never fade.
Hopefully you’ll discover a favorite artist or a new track.
Enjoy!

Recommended up-tempo music (1–10) I Don’t Wanna Wait David Guetta & OneRepublic Characterized by an up-tempo, danceable track, this piece naturally makes listeners want to move.
Born from a collaboration between David Guetta and OneRepublic, it’s a dance tune that fuses pop and electronic elements.
Emphasizing the message of “let’s enjoy the moment,” it energizes listeners with a lively spark.

High Hopes Panic! At The Disco Panic! At The Disco, a band that has gained popularity as a representative act of pop-punk and emo.
They’re the artists famous for High Hopes.
They’re also familiar to audiences in Japan—the song was used as the theme in Honda’s 2018 ACCORD commercial.
Although Panic! At The Disco once faced criticism over concerns about negative influence on young people, they have continued to enjoy enduring popularity.
I hope they keep showcasing their music without giving in to the criticism.

Runaway Baby Bruno Mars When people think of upbeat Western music, many probably imagine tracks like electropop or EDM.
For those folks, I’d recommend “Runaway Baby,” first introduced on The X Factor in 2010.
It’s an old-school rock ’n’ roll number that evokes Elvis Presley, smoothly blended with a modern arrangement.
Sometimes it’s nice to get pumped up with a classic style like this, don’t you think?

Break My Heart Dua Lipa Dua Lipa is active not only as an artist but also as a model.
Her songs are highly distinctive, and all of them are heavily influenced by house music.
That influence comes through strongly in Break My Heart as well.
The lyrics depict a slightly haughty woman falling in love.
While the track is stylish, the vocals have a soulful feel, making it perfect for anyone looking for a high-energy tune!

1 on the UK Singles Chart and No.
3 on the U.
S.
Billboard Hot 100.

Blinding Lights The Weeknd The Weeknd is an R&B singer from Canada.
Many of you probably know him, but he’s not your run-of-the-mill R&B singer.
That’s because many of his tracks feature electronic arrangements with a distinctly ’80s vibe.
Blinding Lights, in particular, is a song where that kind of arrangement really shines through.
It was released in 2019, and perhaps because it topped the charts in the English-speaking world, it remains a hugely popular, high-energy track to this day.
