Viva La VidaColdplay
One of the signature songs by Coldplay, the British national rock band, is Viva La Vida.
Released as a single in 2008, it reached number one on both the UK and US charts.
It also won two awards at the 51st Annual Grammy Awards in 2009: Song of the Year and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.
Viva La Vida makes effective use of strings and percussion to create its distinctive sound.
The driving four-on-the-floor rhythm and the uplifting chorus have a power that I think energizes listeners!
Girls Just Want To Have FunCyndi Lauper
“Girls Just Want to Have Fun” is Cyndi Lauper’s debut single, released in 1983.
Characterized by a catchy, upbeat synth-pop sound, it has an irresistible groove that makes you want to move.
In the music video, she appears in the bold fashion and hairstyles that became her trademark at the time of her debut, creating a lively, feel-good visual that’s uplifting just to watch.
With its theme of “girls just want to have fun,” it’s a perfect song for women to listen to when they’re feeling down.

“Upside Down” is a single released in 2006 by Jack Johnson, a representative artist of surf music.
The song was written for the animated film Curious George and is packed with the charm of Johnson’s laid-back, relaxing sound.
With lyrics that sing “there’s nothing you can’t do,” it has a positive message that lifts your spirits as you listen.
Give “Upside Down” a listen and start your day feeling energized!

FlatheadThe Fratellis
“Flathead” is a song by the Scottish rock band The Fratellis, included on their debut album Costello Music.
In Japan, it was used in an iPod commercial, so some of you may have heard it.
The performance, which carries a punk spirit, is rough yet assertive, and it kind of puts you in a rock ’n’ roll mood as you listen.
If you’re feeling down, listening to this track will surely lift your spirits!
So WhatP!nk
Starting with an intro marked by a punchy, powerful guitar sound, this is the classic “So What” by the American superstar P!NK.
The title translates into Japanese as “だから何？” (“So what?”), which leaves a strong impression.
Showcasing the full potential of the artist hailed as the world’s strongest pop icon, her signature husky voice shines, making the “rock star” phrase in the lyrics stand out in this rock-leaning track.
Its powerful melody gives you courage when you’re feeling timid!
Goodbye Mr AThe Hoosiers
“Goodbye Mr A” by the Britpop trio The Hoosiers is a track from their 2007 album “The Trick to Life.” It was also used as the ending theme for the film “Eagle Talon The Movie 2.” With a buoyant, ELO “Mr.
Blue Sky”-style rhythm and a bright pop sound, it reached No.
4 on the UK Singles Chart.
It’s a recommended song that naturally lifts your mood when you listen to it!
Midnight SkyMiley Cyrus
“Midnight Sky” is a song by American singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus, released as a single from her 2020 album Plastic Hearts.
Blending disco and synth-pop reminiscent of the 1980s, its catchy sound showcases her deep, husky vocals.
It also drew attention because Cyrus herself directed the music video.
With lyrics that portray a strong woman asserting “I don’t need to be loved by you,” it’s a track I especially recommend to women feeling down after a breakup.
