Western songs that get you pumped. Recommended up-tempo music (61–70)
Ten Feet Tall (feat. Wrabel)Afrojack
An upbeat track that makes you want to jump for joy, with a beautifully delicate piano in the intro that’s incredibly appealing.
Included on the 2014 album “Forget the World.” A masterful hit song by a world-renowned DJ and music producer who has also worked on tracks with Pitbull and Beyoncé.
Highly recommended!
Last HurrahBebe Rexha
An anthem of self-liberation delivered by American artist Bebe Rexha.
While depicting the feeling of being unable to resist temptation, it powerfully sings of resolve for tomorrow.
With its energetic beat and catchy melody, this track is sure to ignite the dance floor.
Released in February 2019, it also broke into the Top 40 on the Billboard charts.
Recommended for those who want to change themselves but find it hard to do so right away, this song offers the courage to take the first step toward self-transformation alongside upbeat pop sounds.
All About That BassMeghan Trainor
Meghan Trainor is hugely popular among teenagers.
She sings, “Don’t worry about your body—being chubby is cute,” and her catchy pop melodies and cute looks made her a massive hit.
However, there’s also a behind-the-scenes story that she drew criticism later when she tried to go on a diet.
Noche Sin DíaIl Volo, Gente de Zona
Conceived as a new-generation Three Tenors, Il Volo have been active since they were young.
In Japan, they’re strongly associated with opera, but they’ve actually released some upbeat party tunes as well.
One I particularly recommend is Noche Sin Día.
It’s a collaboration with the Cuban reggaeton group Gente de Zona, resulting in a hard-hitting reggaeton track with a summery vibe.
It performed well on Latin charts around the world, so many of you might already find it familiar!
AlphaPeriphery
Periphery is a metal band from Maryland, USA.
Spencer’s R&B-style vocal delivery creates a great chemistry with the heavy instrumentation! The fact that guitarist Misha is a fan of Final Fantasy might also contribute to their interesting songs.
Good FeelingFlo Rida
He’s a rapper in high demand from all directions—you’ve probably heard him at least once, right? He’s also had deep ties with Japan, collaborating with EXILE and promoting his favorite Yoshinoya beef bowls.
PrimadonnaMarina And The Diamonds
Marina, who isn’t very well-known yet in Japan, is an extremely popular singer-songwriter in her home country, the UK—almost everyone knows her.
Primadonna is a recommended track even for girls who lack confidence or are feeling down.
Its upbeat tempo will lift your spirits!
