Recommended dance tracks: Classic dance music (21–30)
I Like ItCardi B, Bad Bunny & J Balvin
The arrangement with an Arabian vibe and the slow beat create a pleasant groove.
Cardi B originally gained popularity on social media.
With her candid remarks and carefree attitude, her music carries a powerful energy.
GOOD BOYGD X TAEYANG
This song was released by just two members of BIGBANG: the leader G-DRAGON and the vocalist/dancer SOL.
What makes this track great, above all, is how well the two of them match.
GD’s rap and SOL’s dance are simply awesome.
The mysterious vibe of the promotional video is also part of its appeal.

AGEHAGENERATIONS from EXILE TRIBE
This song was released by GENERATIONS, EXILE’s brother group, in a style different from their previous tracks.
Its catchy melody and distinctive choreography are addictive.
The overall vibe is incredibly cool, and the dancing is so impressive it leaves you staring in amazement.
asking for the moonKANA-BOON
This song seems to portray a couple missing each other emotionally.
At first glance, you might think it’s a sad ballad, but when you listen, it’s actually super upbeat.
It became incredibly popular for people to mimic parts of the lyrics and post videos on YouTube and Twitter.
The vocalist’s high notes are amazing, too.
Danza KurudoDon Omar
It’s a song that became the theme for the Fast & Furious movie and was a huge hit.
In the promotional video, everyone—men and women alike—are drinking and dancing on a large cruiser, and it looks so fun and aspirational.
I think listening to this song while driving really amps you up and makes the drive a lot more exciting.
Material GirlMadonna
“One man kisses me, another man holds me… (that’s my loose translation)”—a track that kicks off with lyrics this bold.
Whether you catch the meaning or not, the groove and husky vocals will get everyone hyped.
I’d love to see the girls dance to it with a sexy flair.
Effeminate; overly sentimental; being clingy/whiny (context-dependent)Gōruden Bonbā
This is the song that sparked Golden Bomber’s rise to popularity, even landing them a spot on the Kohaku Uta Gassen.
With its humor-filled lyrics, you can’t help but smile the moment it starts playing.
Since they’re an air rock band, the members who get through it with just dancing put a lot of energy into their moves—their performance looks really cool, so I highly recommend it.
