Western songs to listen to while running/jogging (71–80)
Carry Me ft. Julia MichaelsKygo
Here’s a melodious track from Kygo, a pioneer of tropical EDM.
He came to Japan for Ultra Japan in 2016 and made quite a splash.
It’s not intense and has a relaxed tempo, so it’s also recommended for those doing slow jogging.
Fuck youLily Allen
As the title suggests, these are recommended songs to listen to when something unpleasant happens or when you want to forget something.
When I run while listening to them, the things I was worrying about start to feel trivial and I feel refreshed.
They’re perfect for stress-relief runs.
Thrift ShopMacklemore & Ryan Lewis ft. Wanz
If you’re into hip-hop or dance, it’s a mega-hit you’ve got to have heard at least once.
The fun lyrics are about how to score and rock cool fashion on the cheap at a thrift shop full of grimy old clothes.
The BounceMarcy Chin ft. Ward 21
With the latest dance craze, twerking, as its theme, the music video features dancers shaking their hips from start to finish.
It’s feel-good music that party-loving guys and girls who are into B-style and reggae lifestyles will absolutely love.
Me TooMeghan Trainor
Megan’s songs are generally upbeat and lively, but this track is especially popular for its chorus that everyone can’t help but sing along to.
The repeated phrase sticks in your head after just one listen.
Kiss Me QuickNathan Sykes
Recommended for those looking for songs that are bittersweet yet uplifting.
When you feel a bit cloudy and want to go for a run, it’s nice to listen to slightly melancholic melodies, isn’t it? Nathan Sykes has a beautiful voice, and this is a track I listen to often.
This TownNiall Horan
This is also a song I want you to listen to when you’re running or jogging through places that bring back a sense of nostalgia and memories.
Niall Horan is a member of the British boy band One Direction.
