Popular Fireworks Songs Ranking [2026] (81–90)
#SELFIEThe Chainsmokers81rank/position
The Chainsmokers are an electro duo based in New York.
They began their career in 2012 and released “#SELFIE” in 2014, which became a global hit.
While this song isn’t themed around fireworks, I thought its vibe would be perfect for events like fireworks festivals, so I chose it.
The lyrics are quite vulgar, depicting content similar to what you might associate with flashy, party-loving girls in Japan.
HEAVEN ft. Betty WhoTroye Sivan82rank/position
A song released in 2016 by Troye Sivan, featuring Australian singer-songwriter Betty Who.
The profound lyrics and the moving vocals of Troye and Betty make you want to listen closely.
When you’re feeling worn out, it might be nice to relax by listening to this song while watching fireworks bloom beautifully in the sky.
fireworksWANIMA83rank/position
As adults, there are moments when we suddenly recall the summers we spent as children, aren’t there? This song by WANIMA, a punk rock band known for their energetic musical style, was included on their second album “Everybody!!,” released in 2018.
The fast-paced tempo throughout pairs perfectly with vocalist KENTA’s free and expansive singing.
If you’re looking for a fireworks-themed song that blooms across the night sky, be sure to give it a listen.
Let MeZAYN84rank/position
It’s a song released by Zayn in 2018.
Zayn’s smooth vocals and sweet lyrics are striking, resulting in a mature and romantic track.
Just like the lyrics, how about inviting someone you want to promise a future with to watch fireworks this summer and sharing your feelings?
Stay The Night ft. Hayley WilliamsZedd85rank/position
Zedd, a world-renowned music producer from Germany, has released numerous hit songs and is truly a master producer.
Among his works, the one that’s a perfect fit for fireworks is “Stay The Night ft.
Hayley Williams.” In fact, this song portrays very mature themes, and its title means “Won’t you stay over tonight?” in Japanese.
While it doesn’t directly center on fireworks, its depiction of a burning, passionate adult affair makes it a great match for a fireworks setting!
Fire◎Flowerhalyosy86rank/position
A refreshing yet bittersweet, coming-of-age Vocaloid rock tune.
Composed by halyosy, also known as the creator of the Vocaloid graduation song “Sakura no Ame,” it was released in 2008.
The song’s worldview itself is deeply moving, but the arrangement where the number of sounds in the outro gradually decreases feels like the essence of everything is distilled there.
With emotions running high, the protagonist heads off into the distance just as they are.
With the power of this song, how about confessing your feelings to someone you like this summer?
summer hazeatarayo87rank/position
Atarayo’s Summer Haze is poignant for its promise—“we vowed eternity under the fireworks”—that will never be fulfilled.
Released in 2021 as a digital-only single, it’s also included on their first album, In the Polar Night, the Moon Remains Silent.
The lyrics are emotional and heartrending, recalling everyday moments with you while mourning those summer days that can never return.
It’s a quintessential Atarayo track—fitting for a band sometimes called “the group that feeds on sorrow.”
HANABIikimonogakari88rank/position
A song also known for being selected as the ending theme for the TV Tokyo anime BLEACH.
It expresses the heart-rending feelings for “you,” who have gone far away, through fireworks that shimmer and poignantly scatter.
The fleeting fireworks that sparkle, waver, burn, and fade are overlaid with the singer’s own thoughts and dreams, creating a track that is both passionate and sorrowful.
Its up-tempo, driving sound gives it a lively, summery energy.
fireworkschanmina89rank/position
This is a song by Chanmina, known as the “Beyoncé of Nerima,” about fireworks.
The lyrics, which use fireworks—burning briefly yet beautifully—as a metaphor for youth, are exquisite.
It doesn’t end with simple sadness; by adding scenes of romance, it portrays youth in a layered way! It really makes you feel how powerful young love can be.
I’ve heard that Chanmina is half Korean and half Japanese, and that she spent her childhood moving between the U.S., Japan, and Korea, so her mixed sense of word choice was likely honed back then as well.
The part in the chorus where it twirls around feels especially satisfying—an absolute delight of a track!
Evening Fireworksban banzai90rank/position
Banbanzai is a YouTuber group formed by three members: Miyu, Gishi, and Runa.
As YouTubers, they post videos such as eating challenges and pranks on YouTube, while also uploading cover songs—showcasing their strong potential as musicians.
Among their works, “Yoi Hanabi” especially stands out: the trio’s powerful and emotional vocals poignantly and beautifully sing about the memory of watching fireworks with someone special, striking a deep chord in the heart.
