Don’t Let Me DownThe Chainsmokers
I like all of The Chainsmokers’ songs, but when it comes to hype tracks, this has to be the one! That’s how much I love this song, and I think it really gets people going.
They themselves have said that their strategy for not letting their popularity fade is to make songs in collaboration with famous artists.
Shut Up and DanceWalk the Moon
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.
The FoxYlvis
This is a song I really want you to watch with the music video! It really pumps you up and is so fun that listening to it when you’re feeling down will instantly lift your spirits.
The lyrics feature lots of different animals, so it’s a great song for learning animal names.
You can learn them in a fun way.
Lush LifeZara Larsson
Personally, I have a lot of memories tied to this song, and whenever I was going through hard times, I would always listen to it to lift my spirits.
Back then, I listened without even understanding the meaning of the lyrics, but I think it’s one of those rare songs whose melody alone can encourage you, and one I’ll keep listening to far into the future.
AloneAlan Walker
I have the impression that Alan Walker suddenly appeared out of nowhere and became popular in no time.
I really like the tempo of this song and listen to it often.
He provides songs to many people and collaborates with others, but the fact that we can’t see anything about his private life is something that personally intrigues me.
