Latest Western music commercial songs (1–10)
Blinding LightsThe Weeknd
Blinding Lights is a song that consciously draws heavily on 80s disco music.
It was released in 2019 by The Weeknd, an R&B singer from Canada.
From the moment the catchy synthesizer melody—one listen and it sticks in your head—kicks in, it whisks you away to a stylish, nighttime cityscape.
Its sense of speed makes it especially perfect for car commercials, almost as if you’re out driving.
The song’s similarities to a-ha’s Take On Me have also made mashups of the two tracks popular.
That’s The Way A Woman IsThe Messengers
This commercial for Suzuki’s compact SUV, the Hustler, expresses the excitement of being able to go anywhere.
It depicts, in an animated style, the Hustler dashing through the charming world of a picture book.
The BGM features an original arrangement of The Messengers’ “That’s The Way A Woman Is.” Even if you don’t recognize the title, many of you have probably heard this song.
I Wish I Was A…NOISY
This song, “I Wish I Was A…,” was released in 2020 by the three-piece band Noisy, formed in the UK.
It was featured in the BMW X Range “There’s an X for That” commercial.
At the time, they were still very much a fledgling band, so it seems it was an exceptionally big break for them.
Although they’re a band, they aren’t all about straight rock—their distinctive style incorporates hip-hop and drum’n’bass, showcasing a decidedly modern sensibility.
This track pairs a naturally body-moving beat with breezy rap, and the irresistibly catchy melody in the chorus is truly impressive.

Are You Gonna Go My WayLenny Kravitz
It’s one of the signature songs by popular guitarist and singer-songwriter Lenny Kravitz, also known in Japanese as “A Dash for Freedom.” It was used in commercials for the ever-popular Alto Works, which has long enjoyed a devoted following.
The track’s distinctive guitar riff and full-on rock vibe perfectly match the sporty image of the Alto Works.
Although it was released in 1993, many people—including younger generations—have probably heard it.
That’s because, in addition to the Alto Works ads, it was also featured in commercials for Nissan and Wilkinson.
My GirlStevie Wonder
The commercial for “The new GLB” portrays a father and daughter’s dreams brought to life by a Mercedes-Benz.
The commercial’s song that colors their wonderful relationship is Stevie Wonder’s “My Girl.” Originally by the American R&B group The Temptations, this track—featured on the album “My Cherie Amour,” titled in Japanese as “愛するあの娘に”—has been covered by many artists besides Stevie Wonder.
Its lyrics, which depict the pure feelings of first love inspired by meeting a special girl, gently warm the heart.
Fear for NobodyMåneskin
This commercial directly highlights the Honda ZR-V’s stylish design, rich features, and powerful performance.
It shows the car racing through various scenes—high-speed circuits, tree-lined mountain roads, and cityscapes—conveying that it can be driven with confidence anywhere.
The high-speed scenes suggest strength, while the mountain and urban driving evoke an impression of maneuverability and ease of handling.
The video also seems to suggest that peace of mind, safety, and stability contribute to a fulfilling daily life.
The background music is “Fear for Nobody,” released in 2018 by the Italian rock band Måneskin—a track whose powerful vocals, declaring there’s nothing to fear, inspire a fighting spirit.
Je te veuxÉric Satie
The commercial “Breathing Wild” for Suzuki’s crossover SUV, the Fronx, which began sales in Japan in October 2024.
Using footage of wolves, horses, birds, and more, it highlights a refined appeal that ties into the ad’s title.
The background music is an arranged version of Erik Satie’s 1900 chanson masterpiece “Je te veux.” With its striking, noble-sounding melody, it’s a tune many people recognize even if they don’t know the title.
The title is pronounced “Juh tuh vuh” in French.
