The MottoTiësto & Ava Max85rank/position
Ava Max is one of the most prominent female singers in the electro-pop scene.
If you’re a middle schooler who listens to dance music, you probably know her.
This track, The Motto, is a collaboration with world-renowned music producer Tiësto.
While many of her songs are high-energy and upbeat dance tunes, this one has a darker, more cynical vibe.
Highly recommended if you like cool, catchy melodies.
Light SwitchCharlie Puth86rank/position
Singer-songwriter Charlie Puth, known for his high vocal range and wide musical versatility, has gained significant popularity.
He became instantly famous for singing See You Again, the theme song of the film Furious 7.
His new track is Light Switch.
Perhaps riding the synth-pop boom sparked by The Weeknd, it features a sound that’s very similar to his hit song Blinding Lights.
It’ll Be OkayShawn Mendes87rank/position
A piano ballad released in December 2021.
Canadian singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes delivers a quiet portrayal of the pain and acceptance of facing a breakup.
It begins by questioning the end of a relationship, then offers a vow to keep loving the other person—a message that resonates, wrapped in organ-like synths and strings.
When you’ve parted ways with someone important, whether in friendship or romance, there are moments when you want to tell yourself, “It’s going to be okay.” This song gently stays by your side in those moments.
The music video, set against nighttime views of his hometown Toronto and snowy scenes, leaves a strong impression with its world that balances loneliness and warmth.
Recommended for those going through heartbreak, as well as middle schoolers struggling with a relationship.
Training SeasonDua Lipa88rank/position
A great recommendation for middle schoolers who want to wake up to stylish Western pop from the morning is a track from Dua Lipa’s third album, “Radical Optimism.” Released in February 2024, the song features a disco beat, syncopated guitars, and shimmering synths.
The lyrics carry an empowered message—“I’m past the stage of teaching someone how to love me from scratch”—portraying a positive, self-respecting outlook on life.
With piano phrases reminiscent of ABBA and girl-group-style choruses, it has a feel-good groove that will get your body moving first thing in the morning.
It was also featured in a Porsche commercial and performed at the Grammys and the BRIT Awards, making it a standout track.
Perfect for boosting your energy before heading to school!
CelestialEd Sheeran89rank/position
Released in 2022, Ed Sheeran’s “Celestial” is a song that makes boys and girls around the world swoon.

The collaboration with the game firmly captures children’s hearts and is sure to resonate especially with those at an age where they dream of romance.
Let his gentle, compassionate voice immerse you in a feeling like celestial bodies coloring the world.
Break Free feat. ZeddAriana Grande90rank/position
A signature song by Ariana Grande, who is hugely popular among teenage girls around the world.
It’s uptempo and hard to pull off, but if you can sing it, you’ll definitely look like a diva just like Ariana.
