Upbeat Western songs to get you hyped: Recommended uptempo tracks (71–80)

Singer-songwriter Jason Mraz, renowned for his collaborations with a wide range of artists, consistently drops hit tunes with a genre-defying, eclectic musical style—and his latest single is no exception.

The new track, “I Feel Like Dancing,” is a uniquely crafted piece that leans heavily into the vibes of late-1970s to early-1980s disco and funk.

If you enjoy contemporary funk in the vein of Bruno Mars and Mark Ronson’s classic “Uptown Funk,” this one will be irresistible—be sure to give it a listen.

The smash hit “STAY,” released in 2021, is a collaboration between one of Australia’s leading rappers, The Kid LAROI, and Justin Bieber.

The track leans into the then-trending synth-pop genre, resulting in a refreshingly bright melody throughout.

Its lyrics portray each of the two artists’ feelings toward their respective lovers—sweet and romantic, yet breezy.

Neither the lyrics nor the melody feel overbearing, making it a highly recommended choice among catchy, attractive Western pop songs.

An upbeat track that makes you want to jump for joy, with a beautifully delicate piano in the intro that’s incredibly appealing.

Included on the 2014 album “Forget the World.” A masterful hit song by a world-renowned DJ and music producer who has also worked on tracks with Pitbull and Beyoncé.

Highly recommended!

I really want lots of people to listen to and sing this song together.

It’s not just catchy—it’s perfect for parties, too! There’s a call-and-response part that goes “Oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh,” and if a big crowd sings it, it’s sure to get everyone pumped up.

A track featuring members with Latin American roots—William Grigasín, Cardi B, Selena Gomez, and singer Ozuna—collaborating together.

The song is a reggaeton hit from 2018 that mixes Spanish and English, and the title “Taki Taki” means “to sing and dance like crazy.” The lyrics convey a wild, dance-frenzied vibe, and the cool, sexy choreography is a major highlight as well!

A collaboration track between tropical house DJ Kygo and Selena Gomez.

Selena’s vocals match perfectly with Kygo’s signature tropical sound! There are tens of thousands of DJ collaborations, but isn’t this pairing arguably the best?

Who Do You LoveThe Chainsmokers

A song I’d love to recommend to you after a hard day is “Who Do You Love.” It’s not that uptempo, yet somehow your body just starts keeping the groove on its own… It’s that kind of track.

You’ll also find yourself wanting to listen when you need just a little extra push.

It’s my top pick for anyone who wants to cheer on the self who worked hard—or the self who’s still working hard!
