Western songs to listen to while running/jogging (71–80)
Something in The WaterCarrie Underwood
It’s an empowering, uplifting song.
Carrie Underwood is an American country musician, and her debut album was a powerhouse, becoming the fastest country album to sell five million copies.
It’s the perfect track to listen to when you’re running and feel like you might give up.
Boom ClapCharli XCX
Lately, this song has been increasingly used as background music on Japanese TV and is currently drawing a lot of attention.
I think it’s a perfect fit for the image of a runner in a big city dashing through the streets at dawn.
Bright, upbeat music is broadly popular across genres with all kinds of listeners.
ConfidentDemi Lovato
This is exhilarating music that we especially want hardworking, powerful women to hear.
In the music video, Demi takes down evil after being imprisoned, and whether you just listen to the music or only watch the video, it will fill you with energy and courage.
Thinking About You (feat. Jay Sean)Hardwell
Hardwell, who has even reigned as the world’s No.
1 DJ, is a Dutch DJ and music producer.
While he usually releases many up-tempo tracks, his songs also carry a somewhat calm vibe, making them great for running or jogging.
Gave Me SomethingJess Glynne
Here’s a recommended track from a UK songstress.
Her voice is husky yet soulful, and it’s incredibly cool.
The album this song is on, “I Cry When I Laugh,” is full of great tracks, but I recommend this one as your starting song for a run.
