Cheer songs in Western music recommended for men: world-class masterpieces and popular tracks.
Somehow, when it comes to so-and-so kinds of Western music, I can’t help but want to compare the difference in direction with Japanese music of the same genre—and I’m going to do that this time too.
In Japanese music, there are many artists who sing supportive songs gently or in a pop style, whereas in Western music there are a lot of hype-you-up anthems that feel like they’re shouting, “You can do it!!!”
Also, the writing by the people who did each review in this article is really entertaining.

Cheering songs in Western music recommended for men: World classics and popular tracks (21–30)
Something I NeedBen Haenow
This song, sung from a male perspective to a woman—telling her, “If we only live once, I want to live it with you.
You have what I need”—is something I think women will find heart-fluttering for its straightforward lyrics, especially when you’re facing a hellish week or when things aren’t going well.
The chorus being sung like a hook gives it a very powerful feel.
Even when you can’t be positive, it makes you realize there’s someone who can save you, and I think it helps anyone, regardless of gender, switch their mindset.
Song 2Blur
It’s a song you want to listen to when you want to unleash your power and feel refreshed.
The bass explodes right from the intro.
When you’re feeling vaguely unsettled or want to reset your mindset, it seems good to listen to this once, then calmly get back to work.
It also sounds easy to play as a band, so it seems like a good choice for your first band, too.
24K MagicBruno Mars
“Let’s party!!” It’s a simple message, but when Bruno Mars says it, it frees me from overcomplicating things and overthinking.
It might come off a bit mischievous, but it resonates precisely because you can feel the sincerity behind it.
I Won’t Last A Day Without YouCarpenters
From the Carpenters, “I Won’t Last a Day Without You,” known in Japanese as “Ai wa Yume no Naka ni” (“Love Is in a Dream”).
Young people today may have at least heard the Carpenters’ name.
Karen’s deeply embracing voice and superb singing deserve recognition even now.
The song says, “I can’t imagine life without you,” and if Karen says that in her beautiful voice, it really makes you want to do your best.
PaparazziEdward Maya x Carine
A track that paints the world of paparazzi is taking over the dance floor.
This collaboration by Edward Maya and Karine was released in December 2023 and has racked up over 200,000 views on YouTube.
The lyrics, which feel like peeking into a celebrity’s daily life, pair perfectly with an addictive melody.
While laced with irony about how blurry privacy boundaries have become in modern society, the rhythm makes you want to move.
It’s the perfect song for parties or when you need a pick-me-up.
Recommended not only for fans of Edward Maya but also for anyone who loves dance music.
