David Guetta feat Raye – Stay (Don’t Go Away) (Official Video)

With a classic house dance beat and a bouncy bassline, this is “Stay (Don’t Go Away),” a collaboration between David Guetta and Raye.

Raye’s beautiful vocals match perfectly.

The bassline in particular is light and lively, making you want to move your feet to the rhythm.

Ava Max is a female singer energizing the global electropop scene.

Her sophisticated musicality—born from eccentric fashion and performances reminiscent of early Lady Gaga and steady, assured vocals—is incredibly compelling.

Her collaboration with Brazilian producer Alok is this track, “Car Keys (Ayla).” Its sleek, sharp electropop sound is a perfect match for cool choreography.

Loud Luxury x Two Friends feat. Bebe Rexha – If Only I (Official Video)

Bebe Rexha is one of the most prominent female singers in today’s dance music scene.

If you follow the dance scene, you’ve probably heard her tracks all the time.

Among her songs, the one I especially recommend as BGM for cheer dance and cheerleading is “If Only I.” It blends tropical house and electronic elements, maintaining a high level of energy throughout.

Since it doesn’t have much dynamic contrast, I think it’s better suited for cheer dance.
