Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

When you just can’t get motivated and you’re feeling down, anyone who loves music usually has at least one go-to track that lifts their spirits.

The more of those “this song will get me through the day” tracks you’ve got stocked up—not just one or two—the better you can match them to how you feel that day.

So in this article, we’ve rounded up a selection of uplifting Western music.

From pop and rock to punk, the lineup features recent hits and popular songs from the last few years, so if you’re looking for new tracks to boost your mood, this is a must-see!

Selena Gomez – Dance Again (Performance Video)

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!
