Upbeat Western music to get you pumped: Recommended up-tempo tracks (121–130 BPM)
WingsLittle Mix
She won the hugely popular UK music audition show The X Factor in 2011, and because she belongs to the same agency as One Direction, she’s often referred to as their “little sister.” Her overwhelming vocal ability has surely blown more than a few people away.
Hard TimesParamore
A standout track from Paramore’s 2017 album After Laughter.
Hayley Williams’s uniquely bright vocals still lift listeners’ spirits.
Both the melody and her voice are upbeat, making for a lively, buoyant song!
We Found Love (feat. Calvin Harris)Rihanna
You’re hooked from the pop and cute intro.
If this isn’t what you call a feel-good, groovy track, then what is? Before you know it, your body starts swaying on its own as you listen.
It’s that kind of song.
Highly recommended if you want to dance without a care.
DONE.The Band Perry
It’s a cool track that’s very much in the style of the country band The Band Perry, packed with guitar and violin melodies while still keeping a rock edge.
Even if you don’t know The Band Perry, listening to this song will make you like them.
Upbeat Western music to get you hyped: recommended uptempo tracks (131–140)
Somebody To You (feat. Demi Lovato)The Vamps
They became famous for posting cover songs on YouTube, gaining popularity, and making their debut.
Among their tracks, this is the one that really gets the crowd going for The Vamps.
It’s a collaboration with actress and singer Demi Lovato, and since it’s often used as background music on TV, you’ve probably heard it at least once.
New LookRita Ora
This is a bangin’ track Rita Ora released in July 2019.
The music video is intricately produced with a world that feels like it could appear in Fast & Furious.
It’s a very 2019 song, featuring a bouncy phrase at the drop.
The intro, verse, and pre-chorus have a relatively calm, mid-tempo mood.
The MV includes scenes of street car racing, but it’s dangerous—so make sure to close off the road before doing anything like that.
BraveSara Bareilles
It’s a number-one hit by Sara Bareilles, also famous in Japan for being used in a commercial.
You’ve probably heard it at least once.
As a singer-songwriter, Sara has written many songs that give people courage.
This is definitely a track you’ll want to check out.
