Upbeat Western songs to get you hyped: Recommended uptempo tracks (71–80)
STAYThe Kid LAROI, Justin Bieber
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.
Jump (Armin van Buuren Remix)Van Halen
A dazzlingly upbeat synth lead—this is a melody I think everyone has heard at least once.
It even gets picked up in commercials from time to time, right? But this version is a remix by Armin van Buuren, known as the prince of trance.
He keeps the highlights mostly intact while giving it a tasty remix treatment, so no worries there.
It features a punchy kick that accelerates the catchy phrases, and a driving bassline with just the right amount of sidechain to fill the gaps and create a sense of momentum.
It’ll get you hyped!
I Feel Like DancingJason Mraz
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.
Upbeat Western music to get you pumped: recommended uptempo tracks (81–90)
Ten Feet Tall (feat. Wrabel)Afrojack
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 Wish (feat. T.I.)Cher Lloyd
She got her start by appearing on the hugely popular British music show The X Factor, which led to a record deal and her debut.
It’s no surprise she has a devoted fan base, thanks to her powerful yet delicate vocals.
She is said to be close with members of One Direction, who are also alumni of the same show.
Taki Taki ft. Selena Gomez, Ozuna, Cardi BDJ Snake
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!
Lose YourselfEminem
Eminem, who has been active as an American hip-hop artist since the late 1990s and is a name almost everyone knows.
In an era when the hip-hop scene was still dominated by Black artists, he achieved tremendous popularity as a white artist.
This song is one of his signature tracks, released as the theme song for the film 8 Mile, in which he also starred.
I imagine many people first became interested in American hip-hop because of this song.
His flow races freely over a track marked by its tight beat, and it feels incredibly good.
Before you know it, your body will be moving along with the music!
