A refreshing, throwback dance-pop number that’s perfect for party time.

This track was actually produced by Zedd.

Justin Bieber can do it all, but since Nicki Minaj comes from a hip-hop background, having him in the middle helped shape it into this kind of party tune! The MV is cool too, with half of it shot selfie-style using a gimbal equipped with a GoPro, which was cutting-edge at the time.

Highlights include Justin Bieber’s sharp dance moves in the drop and Nicki Minaj’s rap solo.

Try translating the lyrics—the powerful lines and outspoken delivery are uniquely hers!

Rapper Lil Peep passed away in 2017 at the young age of 21, but he left behind many tracks.

One such track, released in 2019, is “I’ve Been Waiting,” a collaboration between him, ILoveMakonnen, and the rock band Fall Out Boy.

Its arrangement lets you enjoy a variety of vocal styles, making it a song that can liven up not only parties but virtually any scene.

As the chorus says, “It’s always a good time,” this is the ultimate party song.

Rather than trying to convey a deep message, it’s a simple “Let’s get hyped!” kind of track.

It’s a classic that lets you forget everything and just revel in pure fun when you’re out making noise with friends.

Released in March 2014, it set dance floors around the world on fire.

David Guetta’s exceptional production and Showtek’s dynamic sound blend seamlessly.

The lyric’s message—“Why does doing something bad feel so good?”—captures the joy of being honest about your desires.

This track is perfect for all kinds of parties, from BBQs to wedding after-parties.

Let the irresistible rhythm take over and have a blast together!

A collaborative track by the Russian pop group Artik & Asti, formed in 2010, featuring Artem Kacher from North Ossetia.

That distinctive Eastern European melody is a sound only they can create! Since around 2017, EDM-influenced pop in Spanish and Russian has gradually started to break into the mainstream.

It’s exotically appealing, isn’t it?

Dancing With A StrangerSam Smith, Normani

This is a soothing track with a slow tempo and Sam Smith’s endlessly beautiful vocals.

It’s a collaboration with Normani, and once you learn the lyrics, it’s a perfect sing-along for both men and women! It has a bit of a chill-out vibe, but since around 2017, this kind of slow EDM has been the trend.

It’s also known as future house and is popular among trend-savvy heads.

FANCYTwice

The lead track from Korean girl group TWICE’s album “FANCY YOU.” The songwriter team Black Eyed Pilseung, who worked on their past hits, handled both lyrics and composition.

It’s a piece where the members’ glamorous, sexy charm blends seamlessly with club sounds.

The music video leans more cool than cute and trended in many countries around the world! Its quality makes it endlessly watchable.
