Upbeat Western music to get you pumped: Recommended uptempo tracks (141–150)
Miss Me MoreKelsea Ballerini

The track whose beat comes knocking at your ears is Kelsea Ballerini’s “Miss Me More.” Everyone wants to be strong and cool, right? We all have moments when we want to express how we feel.
This song seems like the kind that gives you a push when you want to do your best.
Don’t you feel your heart race with its dramatic twists and turns?
Hey Look Ma, I Made ItPanic! At The Disco

A feel-good, four-on-the-floor banger from Panic! At The Disco.
Despite the energizing rhythm and catchy chorus, the lyrics and music video are quite laced with irony.
Even if you achieve success and make money, your feelings don’t necessarily keep up, I suppose.
C’est La VieProtest The Hero

A track that showcases the virtuosic skills of the Canadian metal band Protest The Hero.
Like many metal songs, it kicks off at a fast tempo, but partway through it shifts into a moody, sexy section that you could almost mistake for jazz.
And as expected, Rody’s melodic vocal phrasing is absolutely top-notch!
There Was This Girl (Static Version)Riley Green

Riley Green’s “There Was This Girl,” which starts with a bright intro.
The song has a gritty feel, but it also comes across as somewhat upbeat and polished.
Riley Green has a lot of songs that make you want to do a simple acoustic rendition, doesn’t he? Don’t you think listening to this when you’re feeling a bit sentimental could give you a little boost?
Maybe You’re the ReasonThe Japanese House

The Japanese House’s “Maybe You’re the Reason” has a mellow vibe.
I want to listen to this song when I wake up and ease myself into a groovy mood in the morning! The airy vocals and fluffy sound are like the morning light.
It might be nice to think about what kind of day you want to have while listening to this track!
One Hand KillingTwelve Foot Ninja

A band from Melbourne, Australia, aptly named Twelve Foot Ninja.
This goofy music video made waves in many places when it was released.
But the most interesting part is, without a doubt, how they cram a variety of genres—metal, funk, bossa nova, rock ’n’ roll, jazz—into a single song.
Dancing In LoveAlan Walker, MEEK

This track was released in December 2024 as the lead single from Norwegian DJ Alan Walker’s fifth album, Walkerworld 2.0.
It’s a collaboration with British singer-songwriter MEEK, expressing the joy of dancing in love.
Blending retro dance music with energetic electronic sounds, it’s the perfect song for year-end parties.
Alan Walker commented on his social media that it’s his final release of 2024 and a work that caps off wonderful memories with his fans.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to rediscover the power of love and music.
