Upbeat Western songs to get you hyped: Recommended uptempo tracks (71–80)
Sunflower (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse)Post Malone, Swae Lee
This is a track created as the theme song for the 2018 film “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse,” teaming up two popular rappers, Post Malone and Swae Lee.
Despite its urban vibe, the two deliver melodically over a refreshing track, making it comfortable to listen to—even for those who aren’t fond of rap—and easy to get into.
BMFSZA
American singer-songwriter SZA delivers a sultry track that blends bossa nova rhythms with contemporary R&B.
The lyrics, which vividly portray a woman surrendering to desire and being drawn to the allure of a younger man, leave a strong impression.
Released in December 2024 as part of the album “SOS Deluxe: LANA,” the song reached No.
29 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Quoting the jazz classic “The Girl from Ipanema,” it offers musical depth while capturing, with a pleasant sense of weightlessness, those moments when one is swept up by irresistible waves of emotion.
It’s a perfect pick when you want to refresh your mood or relax.
MiaBad Bunny feat. Drake
In 2018, reggaeton was the trend in the dance music scene.
This track, too, features Spanish-language rap paired with a comfortably Latin rhythm.
It was released featuring hip-hop hitmaker Drake.
Bad Bunny’s popularity took off with 2017’s “I Like It,” propelling him into stardom.
With its catchy “Mía, mía” phrase and melody, this is a song that makes you want to start dancing.

Break FreeAriana Grande
For those looking for an upbeat and cute track, I recommend a song by Ariana Grande from the United States.
Released in July 2014, this track marked a new challenge for her, incorporating elements of electro house and synth-pop.
The lyrics, centered on a strong desire for freedom and liberation from oppressive situations, are distinctive and, combined with the energetic sound, give listeners courage.
Included on the album “My Everything,” the song reached No.
4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Ariana’s seventh million-selling single.
With its adorable, poppy vibe, it’s the perfect song to lift your mood or when you want to live true to yourself.
Radar (feat. HONNE)WHETHAN
Whethan is a DJ born in 1999 from Chicago.
Known for styles like future bass, this upbeat track of his features the London-based electronic duo HONNE.
The richly layered, thick sound is absolutely fantastic! Perfect for a drive!
VacationG.R.L.
After a member’s death, the group disbanded once and has since resumed activities with new members.
The song from when they had five members has a great groove, and the chorus is guaranteed to get you hyped! Even now as a three-member group, it really makes you curious about what they’ll do next.
I Really Like YouCarly Rae Jepsen
Speaking of Carly Rae Jepsen, she became instantly famous with “Call Me Maybe,” and that song was used in a Moist Diane commercial, the “Koi Seyo Diane Girls” version.
She herself appeared in it too, right? The lyrics are very catchy and easy to remember, and it really gets you pumped, doesn’t it?
