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.

Here It Is (feat. Chris Brown)Flo Rida

It’s spelled “Flo Rida” and read as “Flo Rida,” not “Florida.” This is “Here It Is,” a track by rapper Flo Rida in collaboration with singer Chris Brown.

Flo Rida’s voice is so distinctive that you can immediately tell it’s him when you listen! Chris Brown sings with a romantic, free-flowing vocal that contrasts with Flo Rida’s rapping.

It’s as if the two complement each other by providing what the other doesn’t have.

An up-tempo, stylish track!
