Good Luck, Babe!Chappell Roan
If you’re looking for energizing Western pop tracks, I recommend songs by Chappell Roan.
An American singer-songwriter, Chappell is known for dark, sentimental keyboard-driven pop influenced by Lorde and Lana Del Rey.
Released in April 2024, this work stays true to her discography’s exploration of queer identity and sexuality while portraying a secret relationship with a lover struggling under societal pressures.
Blending pop sonics with a dark, unsettling tone, the track highlights its intense, brooding lyrics and speaks to the difficulty of being honest about one’s emotions.
Chappell’s vocals, which show empathy for those struggling with self-acceptance, are sure to resonate with you.

Justin Bieber, a Canadian singer who enjoys worldwide popularity.
Although he once held more of an idol-like position, he is now taking on full-fledged R&B and hip-hop, and has continued to thrive at the forefront of the industry, evolving in style from his debut to the present.
Among his works, the one that especially gets you hyped is “Sorry.” Rather than a cluttered sound, the relatively simple, streamlined track is sure to lift your energy.

Pale Waves are a band that represents Dirty Hit—one of the most talked-about labels in the world, home to many popular artists like The 1975, beabadoobee, and Rina Sawayama.
Fronted by the irresistibly charismatic Heather Baron-Gracie and known for an ensemble that embraces multiple genres while staying true to guitar rock, they’re hugely popular in Japan as well.
From October to November 2022, they returned to Japan for long-awaited shows that generated massive excitement.
This time, we’re spotlighting Jealousy, a track from their third album Unwanted, released the same year.
It’s an undeniable killer tune that kicks off with the most aggressive and loud guitar riff in Pale Waves’ history—perfect for a wake-up jolt to get your energy up.
Chosen as the final song of the encore during their Japan shows, it’s poised to become one of their new signature tracks.
Lines like “Jealousy is my best friend,” so quintessentially Heather, are striking, and the lyrics—said to reflect her own personality—are well worth a close listen.
