“Cheer Up!” Uplifting Western Songs: Tracks That Make You Feel Motivated Just by Listening (21–30)
Eye Of The TigerSurvivor
Evoking Survivor’s indomitable fighting spirit, Eye of the Tiger was released in 1982 and written for the film Rocky III starring Sylvester Stallone.
More than 40 years after its release, the song continues to inspire courage and strength in many listeners.
Loved worldwide as a single from the album Eye of the Tiger, it topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States for six weeks.
Survivor’s powerful performance boosts motivation and fills you with positive energy.
It’s truly a rousing track that lights a spark on days when your spirits are low!
Scared To Be LonelyMartin Garrix & Dua Lipa
“Scared To Be Lonely,” the masterpiece by world-renowned producer Martin Garrix and one of the UK’s leading female singers, Dua Lipa.
When you think of Dua Lipa, most people probably picture upbeat, house-style dance music.
This track, however, differs from that image, delivering an emotional and grand form of dance music.
Just the melody alone can make you feel like you can keep going.
Be sure to pay attention to the lyrics as well—they feel like a gentle push forward.

Love Me Like You DoEllie Goulding
It’s a song released in 2015, sung by the singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding.
It’s an easy-listening track that makes you feel refreshed.
The chorus really moved me.
I think it’s such a great song that you’ll want to listen to it over and over again.
Miss Me MoreKelsea Ballerini
A passionately powerful track that makes energy bubble up from the bottom of your heart: Kelsea Ballerini’s “Miss Me More.” It’s not a song about loving someone else—it’s a song about loving yourself.
Rather than stifling who you are, it teaches you the strength to embrace yourself fully and how to cultivate self-love—a supremely powerful number!
BirdsColdplay
A light and liberating number that makes your worries feel small: Coldplay’s “Bird.” The beautiful band sound and their warm, to-the-point message.
Listening to this song, I feel like a heart that’s been looking down gradually starts to lift as time passes.
Perhaps it’s a track that will help you spread your wings like a bird someday.
Do You RememberJay Sean ft. Sean Paul, Lil Jon
Love always comes with its share of worries.
Especially when you want to get back together with an ex and can’t find the right answer, it can make you even more anxious.
For anyone feeling that way, I recommend the song “Do You Remember.” The lyrics depict a man trying to persuade his former girlfriend to reconcile, but rather than being bittersweet, the track is powerful and upbeat.
Even the melody alone can lift your spirits, so be sure to give it a listen.
What Makes You BeautifulOne Direction
It’s a song by the popular good-looking band One Direction.
It was a hit released in 2011.
I especially love the chorus—it’s really cool.
It really gets me pumped up.
It’s easy to listen to and I think it’s a great song.
They’re handsome and great singers, so I highly recommend this Western pop track.
