WALK THE MOON – Shut Up and Dance (Official Video)

Personally, I don’t know any song that gets me more hyped than this.

WALK THE MOON isn’t very well-known in Japan, right? It seems they’re famous overseas, but I didn’t know about them.

Still, the moment I heard this song, I was like, “What is this? This is such a mood booster!” and I’ve been listening to it ever since.

This collaboration with rapper Wiz Khalifa became a worldwide hit as the theme song for the 2015 film “Furious 7.” The lyrics, which sing of friendship, loss, and hope for reunion, were intended as a tribute to actor Paul Walker, who appeared in the series and passed away in an accident in 2013.

The song became a cultural phenomenon, at one point becoming the most-viewed video on YouTube.

It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when remembering someone special or when you want to feel the bond you share with friends.
