Iconic Western songs about fireworks. Firework songs to listen to in summer.
Many people in Japan probably think of fireworks when they hear “summer.”
Fireworks that spread across the night sky after a festival, as well as those enjoyed with family, are scenes that evoke a deep sense of nostalgia for Japanese people.

It’s a heartwarming country-rock classic you’ll want to play after a summer barbecue or fireworks show.
You’ll surely be drawn into its unique world where faith and humor coexist.

A song released in 2016 by Troye Sivan, featuring Australian singer-songwriter Betty Who.
The profound lyrics and the moving vocals of Troye and Betty make you want to listen closely.

Animal Collective’s classic album “Strawberry Jam” includes “Fireworks,” a track that was released as a single and has received high acclaim.
It portrays a dreamlike scene of watching fireworks at night with someone special, contrasting the beauty of the fireworks with the darkness in the narrator’s heart.
With a sound that blends elements of ethnic music with jazz and rock, it’s perfect for listeners seeking something in a rare and distinctive style.

It’s a cover by Austin Mahone and Pitbull of the French house music duo Modjo’s song.
The sound feels like a mix of retro and modern, perfect for a neon-lit disco.
It might be fun to dress up once in a while and head straight to the club after watching fireworks.
When You Wish Upon A StarBilly Joel

While lively fireworks are great, many people might prefer to enjoy them in a romantic atmosphere, don’t you think? For those people, I recommend the piece “When You Wish Upon a Star.” Since it was used as the theme song for Disney’s 1940 film Pinocchio, many of you may already be familiar with it.
The song has been covered by a variety of artists, but this time we’re highlighting Billy Joel’s version.
His singing style makes it easy to listen to, so be sure to give it a try.
