[2026] UP! UP! UP! Recommended Western songs that will boost your mood (81–90)
GraveyardHalsey
If you want to boost your mood with electronic sounds, I recommend “Graveyard.” Its immersive track makes it great for times when you need to focus, too.
The first verse starts quietly, and from the pre-chorus the melodic voltage gradually rises.
The chorus has a serious melody, so it’s easy to slip into full-on focus mode.
Lose YourselfEminem
Eminem is a rapper with extremely high-level skills who enjoys overwhelming support from heads all over the world.
He’s hugely popular in Japan as well.
His appeal, above all, lies in his smooth flow, intricately crafted rhymes, and ultra-fast delivery.
“Lose Yourself,” which packs in so much of what makes him great, is one of his signature tracks—an energizing piece filled with a passionate message.
The lyrics inspired by the Pied Piper of Hamelin are also highly compelling, so be sure to check out the Japanese translation as well.
AloneMarshmello
Even listening to it now, it’s a sound that really conjures the future.
It’s a catchy song, but it sings about feelings of loneliness, saying in the lyrics that no one pays attention and that home is the best.
Even so, there’s a desire of “I want to be acknowledged” and “I still want girls to notice me.” That bittersweet message further elevates the melody and leaves an emotional impression.
It’s a reissue of a song released in 2016.
I’ll Be ThereWalk Off The Earth
“I’ll Be There,” a song by Canadian indie band Walk Off the Earth.
With its comfortable beat and vocals, it’s a powerful track whose appeal comes through clearly after just one listen.
And of course, that’s not the only charm of the song—the lyrics, which genuinely support those who are down or anxious, are also compelling.
It’s an empowering number made with you in mind.
StayZedd, Alessia Cara
This is a collaborative track by popular DJ and music producer Zedd and Alessia Cara, a newcomer who debuted in 2014.
Zedd’s production overturns the flashy EDM stereotype, pairing perfectly with Alessia Cara’s warm vocals.
Its calm, richly layered sound is captivating, with a hint of exotic, ethnic atmosphere.
In many Japanese songs, the sound swells when the chorus hits, but in this track the instrumentation thins out in the chorus—and that’s what makes it so cool.
It’s a golden rule of dance music.
Dance AgainSelena Gomez
Selena Gomez has said in one of her past heartbreak songs, “Somewhere in forever, we’ll dance again,” which means that somewhere in eternity, we’ll surely dance again.
In her song Lose You to Love Me, she also used the lyric “This dancing was killing me softly,” and since she has used the word “dance” before, some Selena fans think these songs might be connected.
It’s a positive love song about getting back together.
The bass sounds awesome, and it really gets you hyped while listening!

Look At Her NowSelena Gomez
Here’s a track that showcases Selena Gomez at her best.
It carries a very cool, stylish vibe, and from the music video alone, there’s almost a mechanical atmosphere to it.
That said, the lyrics—written from the perspective of a third party pursuing “her”—are innovative, and that “her” might just be you.
As you listen, you might even discover a new version of yourself.
It’s a remarkably deep and layered song.
