[2026] Entrance songs in sports: Cool Western music / entrance BGM (91–100)
RACK$King Koraun
It goes without saying that hip-hop and combat sports have a natural affinity, but choosing to use his own son’s music as his entrance theme is exactly the kind of move you’d expect from Floyd Mayweather Jr.
Mayweather’s son, King Koraun, is a rising talent who debuted as a rapper in 2008 with this track, “RACK$.” Born in 1999, he would have been just 19 when the song was released, yet the heavy, gangsta-rap-style production and his calm, matter-of-fact delivery already exude star quality.
It’s a very cool track—one that would fit perfectly for machine training sessions!
Wrapped UpOlly Murs ft. Travie McCoy
Shohei Ohtani, who made headlines for his two-way play and has continued to excel since joining the majors, actually uses different walk-up music for when he’s batting and when he’s pitching.
This is the track that plays when he comes up to bat.
It’s the perfect song to get pumped up—just listening to it lifts your spirits.
Shake It OffTaylor Swift
This is a song called “Shake It Off” by the Canadian-born songstress Taylor Swift, released in 2014.
It’s also a track she wrote for her haters who gossip about her.
No matter how unpleasant things get, she turns them into music—you can feel that resilient side of her in this song.
With a cheerleader-like vibe, it’s the kind of tune that’s sure to pump up people playing sports.
FergaliciousFergie
Fergie, the female boss of the Black Eyed Peas.
She recently came out as a lesbian, stirring controversy, and her work is produced by will.i.am.
She even coined a made-up word, “Fergalicious,” and her tracks ride on an up-tempo 16-beat groove.
In her confidently delivered vocals, you can feel both sexiness and toughness.
Can’t Turn You LooseOtis Redding
This song is also familiar in Japan.
It was used as a cheer song for high school baseball, so many people probably know it.
It has also been used in commercials for well-known companies, making it widespread in Japanese households.
Even if you don’t know Otis Redding, I think you’ve heard the song.
