Popular Fireworks Song Rankings [2026]

We Found Love ft. Calvin HarrisRihanna71rank/position

Rihanna – We Found Love ft. Calvin Harris

Rihanna, the singer representing Barbados.

While she’s now strongly associated with dance music, when she debuted—partly because she’s from Barbados—she released songs centered on reggae and Latin music.

She later shifted toward R&B and settled into her current style, but “We Found Love ft.

Calvin Harris” is known as a classic from the early phase of her dance-music era.

Its upbeat, danceable chorus is a perfect fit for creating a fun atmosphere at a fireworks festival.

Roxette – Fireworks

Fireworks by the Swedish band Roxette.

Marie Fredriksson’s clear, translucent vocals offer a different atmosphere from Japanese fireworks songs, and it’s wonderful, isn’t it? Just like the Irish band The Cranberries, whose female vocalist Dolores O’Riordan was very popular, there are many rock bands from the Nordic countries.

Don’t you feel that songs by these Nordic bands are exotic, yet somehow carry a kind of wistfulness that resonates with the Japanese heart? If this piques your interest, please try listening to other Nordic bands as well!
