Music that makes tidying up foreign songs go smoothly (1–10)
SugerMaroon 5
I’m enchanted by the sweet, sugar-like vocals and the mature melody.
In the music video, Maroon 5 makes a surprise appearance at a wedding and performs live; after the initial shock, everyone comes together and gets excited, overflowing with happiness.
Just watching it makes me feel happy too.
Bye Bye Bye*NSYNC
The song “Bye Bye Bye,” used as the opening for the film Deadpool & Wolverine, is, as everyone knows, a classic hit by *NSYNC.
Perhaps because it was used almost in full within the movie, the association of Deadpool = Bye Bye Bye has really stuck.
Surprisingly, the song sits in a relatively low vocal range and doesn’t require the kind of intricate, R&B-style melodic runs.
As long as you keep the groove in mind, you should be able to sing it without any issues—so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Dancing QueenABBA
It’s a dance number by ABBA that became a mega-hit around the world.
ABBA is a vocal group from Sweden made up of two couples (both later married and then divorced).
The song was officially unveiled at the wedding reception of Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf.
It’s a bright dance tune that makes your heart leap with joy when you listen to it.
The World Is YoursArch Enemy
This is a song by the Swedish melodic death metal band Arch Enemy.
Centered on themes of self-realization and awakening to one’s potential, it resounds with powerful guitar riffs and intense vocals.
Released in July 2017, it’s included on the album Will to Power.
Michael Amott’s characteristically grand melodies blend perfectly with Alissa White-Gluz’s powerful vocals.
It’s recommended when you want to boost your motivation for tidying up or to fire yourself up.
Listening to this track might awaken the power that lies dormant within you!
Problem ft. Iggy AzaleaAriana Grande
This is a collaboration between Ariana Grande, who has been working energetically even after the Manchester terror attack, and the young British rapper Iggy Azalea.
The cool, bold rap from Iggy Azalea and Ariana’s sweet vocals strike a perfect balance, putting you in a great, upbeat mood.
Pick up the piecesAverage White Band
This track strikes a perfect balance between a horn section’s lead melody and groove-laden backing that channels classic funk.
Even though you know where it’s going—like a three-chord jam—you still want to keep it on loop, because the groove evolves with each repetition.
On loop forever while I tidy up.
I’m With YouAvril Lavigne
This song by Canadian artist Avril Lavigne is a moving pop-rock ballad that portrays feelings of loneliness and the longing to find a place to belong.
Born from her experiences after moving to New York at the age of 17, it expresses a heartfelt wish to have someone by her side.
Released in November 2002, the track reached No.
4 on the Billboard charts and was nominated for a Grammy.
It’s the kind of song you’ll want to listen to while walking alone on a cold night, and it can soothe you even in the middle of tidying up.
It’s perfect for anyone who feels lonely or wants to connect with someone.
