Uplifting Western music: Recommended up-tempo tracks (21–30)
SeñoritaShawn Mendes & Camila Cabello
It’s a track by two of the biggest stars in pop music, Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello.
As the title “Señorita” suggests, it carries a subtly sensual vibe, and the seductive interplay between the two voices and the suggestive lyrics might just make your heart skip a beat.
It’s the kind of song that would lift your mood if it came on the car stereo during a sunset drive.
Say SomethinAustin Mahone
You’ve probably heard Austin Mahone’s “Dirty Work” at least once thanks to Chiemi Blouson’s routine.
In Japan, that song gets most of the attention, but his earlier tracks are just as good.
This one is from when he was still a teenager—fresh-faced yet already exuding star power.
He even collaborated with Flo Rida.
Dancing QueenABBA
I think it’s truly a timeless masterpiece.
It’s a historic mega-hit released in 1976 by the Swedish vocal group ABBA.
The melody and the crisp, refreshing harmonies are irresistible! Incidentally, my wife says, “No questions asked—my body just starts moving the moment I hear the intro.”
Chlorinetwenty one pilots
There are times when a little thing can bring you down, right? When that happens, the song I want you to use to flip the switch and get pumped is “Chlorine” by twenty one pilots.
It’s on their 2018 album Trench.
This track has a unique vibe that becomes more addictive the more you listen.
Put it on as background music while you go for a walk, and I think it’ll help refresh your mood when you’re feeling low!
Closer (feat. Halsey)The Chainsmokers
The Chainsmokers’ song “Closer (feat.
Halsey)” was a massive hit in 2016.
Back then, you could pretty much count on hearing it at any club you went to.
In 2020, Mackenyu Arata’s Japanese cover reignited its popularity.
While the track has a fresh, breezy sound, there’s also a lingering sense of melancholy that gives it a unique feel.
Halsey’s parts are plentiful too, so it’s definitely worth paying attention to!
