Having a bad day can be inevitable in this adventure called life. If you didn’t have a bad day then you’d never know what a good day feels like. Facing ups and downs is what makes you stronger and having some music to help you get through those tough times is very important.

Believe it or not, music has a profound effect on your mood. The main reason why you listen to sad music when you’re sad is that it accompanies your mood! Hearing someone else be sad with you can be helpful so you don’t feel alone.

However, these 25 songs are songs that generally could help improve the mood of those listening. I know some songs have sentimental value and nostalgic value but these upbeat picks are songs that don’t need any previous feelings. As soon as you press play the world will start seeming brighter and you’ll probably want to dance along with them!

You may know some of these songs already and you may not even agree with my choices but I feel like the lyrics and beat help bring about a sunny day in the city or a quiet dimly light night in your bed with your favorite snacks. It all depends on what your Happy Place is. I know my Happy Place is my quiet room filled with rays of golden sunshine as I play my favorite video games.

Take some time to check out all of the songs I’ve chosen,

Also, here is a playlist of the songs called, Cheer Up, Dance A Little, if you liked them all! Let me know if you liked them or if you had any other ideas in the comments section!
