The title “Bad Girls” refers to prostitutes.

The artist affectionately known as the “Queen of Disco,” Donna Summer, sadly passed away from lung cancer in 2012, but the songs she left behind still have many fans today.

Her debut song, Lady of the Night, released in 1974, gained popularity in the United States.

Since the direction of disco sound had not yet been firmly established at the time, those familiar with her music can enjoy a different side of her in this track.

Donna Summer – Last Dance (from VH1 Presents Live & More Encore!)

“Last Dance,” used in the 1978 film of the same name and included on the album Thank God It’s Friday, is one of Donna Summer’s signature songs.

Its structure, shifting from a gentle opening to an up-tempo groove, makes it a highly dramatic number.

It was used by Mone Chiba for her short program in the 2024 and 2025 seasons.

The passionate vocals and exhilarating beat are a perfect match for the graceful steps on the ice.

All Systems GoDonna Summer13rank/position

Donna Summer – All Systems Go (Official HD Music Video)

A work that symbolizes a turning point, as she sought to move beyond the image of a disco queen.

The crisp contours of the synthesizers combine with a forcefully forward vocal, resulting in a sound that incorporates elements of pop and rock.

This piece is the title track that opens the album released in September 1987, backed with the song “Bad Reputation,” and it was issued as a single in January 1988.

It spent a total of three weeks on the UK’s Official Chart.

The futuristic, fast-accelerating melody and Donna Summer’s energetic vocals are uplifting just to listen to.

If you’re looking to boost your mood, why not give this track a spin?

BreakawayDonna Summer14rank/position

Donna Summer – Breakaway (Official HD Music Video)

When it comes to late-1980s dance-pop, Donna Summer naturally tops the list.

The song I’m introducing today was produced by Stock Aitken Waterman and released in the U.S.

as a single in October 1989, included on the album Another Place and Time.

Peaking at No.

49 on the UK Singles Chart in January 1991, this track is notable for its strong forward momentum that feels like breaking free from oppression.

Guided by a mechanical bass line and a crisp, hard-edged snare, it blends pop and soul elements with an expansive, liberating melody—simply superb.

And her overwhelming vocal prowess needs no explanation.

If you’re looking to lift your spirits, I highly recommend giving this track a listen.
