What Do You Mean?Justin Bieber
Not just this song—Justin Bieber’s tracks are basically the highlight of any school festival.
If someone doesn’t recognize it, tell them, “It’s the one from the SoftBank commercial!” and they’ll probably get it.
His sweet voice and danceable sound make everyone want to start moving.
No matter what he says or does, his popularity never fades—proof of his charm and talent!
Raising Hell (feat. Big Freedia)Ke$ha
Kesha’s highly impactful track “Raising Hell.” It’s an incredibly dramatic song that goes from days full of sparkle to rock bottom—and then climbs back up from the depths.
Yet if you listen just to the sound, it’s supremely happy and powerful.
The theme is intense, but the song itself is fantastic, and above all, Kesha’s vocals are undeniably outstanding.
It’s a grand, powerful anthem that feels perfect for the triumphant finale of a show.
No matter what happens, it’ll keep you energized and smiling!
Clap Your HandsKungs
Kungs is a French music producer who has gained popularity with a sound centered on contemporary house music, such as deep house and tropical house.
Some of you might know him from his appearance at Summer Sonic.
Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend for events like school festivals is Clap Your Hands.
It’s a modern take on 1980s synth-pop, packaged throughout with an upbeat, feel-good sound.
All Night LongKungs, David Guetta, Izzy Bizu
A collaboration by Kungs, David Guetta, and Izzy Bizu.
Born from the powerful synergy of these three artists, the track features a sound that cuts across generations and genres.
While grounded in electronic music, it blends pop and indie elements with finesse, resulting in a catchy melody that anyone can dance to.
It delivers a unifying groove reminiscent of a festival main stage.
Try using it at school festivals to bring the whole venue together.
Since it was just released in January 2023, it also captures the latest trends!
Hot StuffKygo, Donna Summer
Donna Summer’s classic “Hot Stuff.” Released in 1979 and included on her album Bad Girls, the track was issued as the lead single that same year.
Blending disco with strong rock elements, it gained widespread popularity and became an international hit.
This time, we’re highlighting a remix by the globally popular music producer Kygo.
It preserves the strengths of the original while giving it a modern arrangement.
A perfect piece for passionate choreography.
Carry OnKygo, Rita Ora
A dance number produced by Kygo with vocals by singer Rita Ora, it’s the theme song for Detective Pikachu that premiered in Japan ahead of the rest of the world.
While it’s an urban track quite different from what we think of as Pokémon in Japan, it might be fun to dance in a Detective Pikachu costume.
The striking contrast between a four-on-the-floor dance tune and Pokémon makes for an outstanding collaboration.

Bloody Mary (TikTok Remix)Lady Gaga
Lady Gaga’s “Bloody Mary,” with its intriguingly eerie intro melody, really leaves an impression.
The song’s simple chorus repeats the phrase “dance, dance, dance,” making it easy for people who aren’t confident in English to get excited and join in.
Also, the “Bloody Mary (TikTok Remix),” which gained popularity on TikTok, is sped up just enough to work perfectly as a dance track—highly recommended.
It could be fun to hype the crowd with the original first, then switch to the remix version and ramp it up into a more intense dance!
