What makes music upbeat

Major keys, a tempo a little faster than walking pace, claps or bright percussion and a catchy melody. Pop, indie and light funk carry this mood well. Upbeat tracks feel friendly rather than intense, so they suit long listening. For retail and cafes, choose tracks without strong lyrics or sudden drops, so they can play for hours. For videos, a bright intro helps grab attention in the first second.

Make your own upbeat track

Choose an upbeat mood, or describe it, for example cheerful indie pop with claps for a cafe. Mubert Render writes an original track. More happy music is on the Joyful page.
