Timeless Western pop songs that make you happy just by listening: Happy Songs (51–60)
Like MariahFifth Harmony
American girl group Fifth Harmony and their song “Like Mariah.” Translated literally, it means “Like Mariah,” and needless to say, the Mariah here refers to the world-famous singer Mariah Carey.
As for the song’s content, it’s a poppy, passionate track about romantic feelings.
With its comfortable rhythm, just listening to it will lift your mood.
If you understand the lyrics and imagine how they feel about Mariah as you listen, you’ll enjoy it even more!
VolareGipsy Kings
The classic song “Nel blu dipinto di blu” by Domenico Modugno, released in 1985.
The Gypsy Kings’ “Volare,” though titled differently, is a cover of “Nel blu dipinto di blu.” While their version adds a flamenco arrangement, the original is rendered as a soaring canzone.
Both pieces exude a happy atmosphere, but this time I’ve chosen the Gypsy Kings’ version, which really gets you into the groove.
Can’t Get EnoughJennifer Lopez
This song by Jennifer Lopez is a quintessentially her, passionate love song.
The lyrics, brimming with ardent love, pair perfectly with a poppy, catchy melody.
Released in January 2024 as the lead single from the album “This Is Me…
Now,” it makes a strong impression in the music video where she dances with multiple grooms.
It’s sure to lift your spirits—perfect not only for those head over heels in love, but also for anyone who just wants a mood boost.
A track packed with Jennifer Lopez’s charm—be sure to give it a listen!
FireworkKaty Perry
Katy Perry is a female singer-songwriter who represents the pop music scene since the 2000s.
Known for many hits including I Kissed a Girl, this time we’re introducing Firework, released in 2010 and a U.S.
chart-topping single.
Built on a four-on-the-floor danceable rhythm and dazzling synth sounds, it’s a melodic dance-pop track that showcases Katy’s strong vocals.
If you listen while reading the lyrics—which feel like a powerful push on your back—you’re sure to come away feeling positive.

With its catchy melody and refreshing sound, it’s a track that will make you feel happy just by listening.
The lyrics, which tell the story of love at first sight for a woman who has just moved to California, are charming as well.
Released as a single in November 2022, it also came with a music video.
It’s perfect for summer—highly recommended for drives or the beach.
It’s an ideal song for anyone who wants to relive the thrill of falling in love or listen with gratitude for someone special.
EverydayAriana Grande
This song by Ariana Grande is a collaboration with the rapper Future, and its provocative lyrics drew attention.
A music video was also released featuring Ariana in an oversized jacket dancing around a couple, and its risqué content became a hot topic.
I Love You For Sentimental ReasonsNat King Cole
Nat King Cole, a jazz vocalist known for his warm, memorable voice.
He stands as an equal to Frank Sinatra.
If Sinatra is an entertainer, Nat King Cole feels more like an artist.
He’s the kind of artist who values how a song is conveyed more than chasing hits, which makes listening to him a truly happy experience.
“I Love You For Sentimental Reasons” is one of his masterpieces, arranged throughout with a calm, soothing melody.
