With the scorching heat of July settling in, everyone could use a friendly reminder to have fun and keep moving—which is exactly what this new round of beats offers. Check them out to see if you can find your next summer fitness anthem:
Blanco Brown has been behind the scenes for a while, producing for Chris Brown and Pitbull, but he stepped onto the stage recently, joining the Yeehaw Agenda with his country-inspired hit, “The Git Up.” The song comes with an infectious signature dance and makes a perfect addition to a summer fitness playlist. Our Country Dance Remix brings up the energy to 128 BPM and adds in just the right amount of extra hype to keep you going.
Lizzo released “Truth Hurts” back in 2017, but the song continues to break records and sounds as fresh as it did the day it debuted. The sleeper hit will strike a chord with anyone who’s been in a less-than-stellar relationship and provides instant motivation to get up and do better in all aspects of life. Our Handz Up Remix amps up the energy to 158 BPM and focuses on the underlying beats for a focused, invigorating class.
“Be Nice” was written by Songland contestant Adam Friedman and selected by the show’s panel to be the next hit single for The Black Eyed Peas. The song has a simple message, but the funky groove and the charisma of The Black Eyed Peas drive home the point in a refreshing way. Our Funky House Remix notches the original up to 128 BPM and makes a perfect track for cardio, step, or any fitness routine.
“You Need to Calm Down” is the second single off Taylor Swift’s upcoming seventh album, Lover, and was released in June in conjunction with Pride Month as a pro-LGBTQ anthem. The song is perhaps Swift’s most political yet, and the cameos from huge LGBTQ stars in the music video made an impact, with a spike in donations to GLAAD and an increase in signatures for Swift’s Change.org petition for the United States Senate to pass the Equality Act following its release. Our remix brings the energy up to 128 BPM and transforms the track into the ideal fitness anthem for keeping calm and carrying on.
Katy Perry released her latest single, “Never Really Over,” at the end of May, and critics praised it as a contender for song of the summer. The infectious electropop hit presents Perry as a New Age goddess who is trying everything to exorcise herself of a past lover. Our Pop Disco Radio Remix brings the energy up to transcendent levels and makes the perfect climax song for your summer fitness playlist.
“Someone You Loved” is the breakout hit for Scottish singer-songwriter Lewis Capaldi. The song’s bittersweet lyrics and melody took Capaldi six months to get right. As he told New Musical Express, “I think my best songs come from me sitting at a piano, bashing my head against a brick wall for hours and hours on end to get one good melody.” Our remix tones down the bitter and brings up the sweet at 128 BPM.
“Nightmare” was released as a single by American singer Halsey in May, after a social media teaser promotion in which the singer asked fans to share their worst nightmares. The song is a feminist anthem, bringing the singer back to her emo roots, and spouting with rage about the injustices happening to women over the world. Our remix keeps the track’s already high energy at 146 BPM but adds a pulsing beat and plenty of drops for a motivating fitness banger.
And there you have it—we hope these tracks help keep you cool during this cruel summer!
