[2026] Best English-language wake-up songs for junior high school students (31–40)
A Little Peace Of HeavenAvenged Sevenfold
An unusually distinctive track from a popular American metal band that’s not like them at all.
The song has few metal elements and isn’t what you’d expect from a group that usually produces intense metal music, but it’s a very interesting and peculiar piece.
You’ll likely get so absorbed in it that it snaps you awake, so I highly recommend listening to it as a morning alarm.
Crazy In LoveBeyoncé
A famous hit by Beyoncé, who’s also known for her flashy stage outfits.
In Japan, it became even more well-known thanks to Naomi Watanabe’s impersonation.
Beyoncé’s voice is rich and powerful, said to carry clearly even to the farthest seats in the venue.
It’s also a recommended track for students who want to kick off a slightly crazy morning.
Livin’ On A PlayerBon Jovi
It’s a massive hit by Bon Jovi, the iconic American hard rock band.
This classic packs the upbeat, all-American energy and the unique coolness that only Bon Jovi can deliver.
I especially recommend it to middle schoolers who want to wake up in style with some rock from the morning.
If I’m DancingBritney Spears
A classic hit by pop singer Britney Spears, who has long captivated fans with her bold fashion.
The song’s opening carries a weighty yet playful punch that resonates with anyone who struggles to wake up, making it perfect for groggy mornings.
Be sure to pay attention to her crystal-clear, high-toned vocals as well.
MoonshineBruno Mars
A singer whose sweet voice and musical sensibility have captivated even Japanese celebrities.
Each of his songs has a unique atmosphere, and “Moonchine” is no exception—its distinctive tempo showcases his vocals to the fullest.
The opening phrase, “Hello,” makes it a perfect fit for mornings.
