Sports cheer songs in Western music: Recommended anthems and fight songs

Former vocal coach specializing in Western musicRyo
With the motto “Learn the basics and enjoy putting them into practice,” I worked as a vocal coach specializing in Western music. As a teen, I questioned the idea that “Western music equals English,” and started listening to songs from around the world. Today, I devour music from over 80 countries and run a personal blog introducing tracks. I often listen to genres like nuevo flamenco, bolero, canzone, and R&B. I’ll keep updating articles daily to find the one perfect song you’re looking for!
Composer/arranger, guitarist, and bloggerSaitō Ayumu
I started playing guitar in elementary school, and in junior high and high school I played the horn in the concert band. In college I became engrossed in composing and began using DTM. These days, I provide songs to artists as a composer, run a blog under the name “Sakki,” and post music lesson videos on YouTube. My musical roots are in rock, but I also love dance music!

When you’re cheering on sports, having music really boosts the energy and brings everyone together, doesn’t it?

MACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS – CAN’T HOLD US FEAT. RAY DALTON (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

CAN’T HOLD USMACKLEMORE & RYAN LEWIS FEAT. RAY DALTON

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’s hit song “CAN’T HOLD US.” There’s a ton to say about this track.

First off, Macklemore’s razor-sharp delivery is as insane as ever.

And Ryan Lewis’s production that brings out the best in Macklemore is absolutely killer, too.

In a U.S.

scene leaning heavily into trap music, it’s refreshing to hear rap like this.

The lyrics are guaranteed to lift you up! Also, pay attention to the track’s slightly Celtic vibe!
