Kickstart your mornings with our Ultimate Wake Up and Seize The Day Playlist! Discover the top tracks that will energize your day and boost your motivation. Perfect for anyone looking to transform their morning routine!
How we start our day plays a big part in how the rest of the day goes. It really sets the tone. So you’re going to want to make sure that it starts off as positively as it can, right? But how can you do that?
We know that music has a strong influence on our mood. So why not start your day off with some music? It has to be the right kind of music, of course. You want music that will get you feeling happy, confident, and ready to seize the day. You want music that will get you singing and dancing along, starting the day off on the right foot, rather than groggily getting out of bed dreading another day of work.
Which songs are we talking about? These songs will be sure to get you singing along and putting a smile on your face. They’re perfect for you to listen to while getting ready. You can even choose one (or a couple) to have as your alarm to wake up to. If you commute to work, they’re perfect to get you into the right headspace before getting into the office. To explore creating your own songs to boost your morning, try music composer AI tools for unique melodies. If you can listen to music while you work, they’re good to listen to then, too!

Especially perfect for the millennials out there. Who wouldn’t want to wake up to *NSYNC harmonizing? Here they go.. and here you go too to make the day your own.
“Wake Up” by Hilary Duff
Another one for the millennials. If millennial queen Hilary Duff’s telling you that you need to wake up, you can’t fall back asleep, can you?
“Wake Me Up” by Avicii
Not only is it a reminder to wake up and get out of bed, but the beats will actually get you wanting to get out of bed and move.

“Walking on Sunshine” by Katrina & The Waves
OK if this song can’t get you out of bed and happy in the morning, what song will?

Start off your day by singing to yourself about how you’re on top of the world! How powerful is that! This catchy song can be your reminder throughout the day, too.
“Good Days” by SZA
No, this isn’t a power thumping, get up and dance, song. But if you need some warm-up time in the AM, this is a good song to play. It’s relaxed, optimistic, and will remind you to have a good day.
“Energy” by Beyonce feat. Beam
If Queen B’s singing to you about energy, you know it’s time to ramp up that energy, even in the morning!
“Break My Soul” by Beyonce
No one can break your soul – not even work or whatever you need to deal with today. Start your day by singing and reminding yourself of that.
“Run the World (Girls)” by Beyonce
Just a casual reminder that you run the world. Also an upbeat song that will get you marching out of bed and straight to wanting to conquer the day.
“Fantasy” by Mariah Carey
This is just an all around “I need to sing and dance to this song” song. It’ll get your butt moving.
“Man! I Feel Like A Woman” by Shania Twain
Not only will this get you moving and dancing, but it’s such a good song to get ready to! It’ll get you motivated to want to get ready.
“Express Yourself” by Madonna
Another great song that will get you motivated to get ready. You may even find yourself “Vogue-ing”!
“Roar” by Katy Perry
There’s such a power in roaring, isn’t there? It really can get you confident and hyped. Sing along to Katy Perry’s hit tune to get yourself in that powerful, positive mindset.
“Everyday Is A Winding Road” by Sheryl Crow
If you know that the day is already going to be a day that’ll be filled with some stress, this song will remind you to roll with the punches and that you’ll get through it. It’ll also give you some instant chill, too.
“Can’t Stop” by Red Hot Chilli Peppers
You can’t stop, either. You’ve got a whole day ahead of you to take advantage of!
“Confident” by Demi Lovato
If you need a confident boast in the AM – whether it’s for work or personal – Demi’s got you covered this this track. Sing it to yourself in the mirror like a personal mantra!
“Love Myself” by Hailee Stienfeld
Another great one to sing to yourself in the mirror and remind yourself of all the love you’re worthy of!
“Here It Goes Again” by OK Go
Yes, you have to go to work again. You can’t get out of that. But OK Go will help you put a fun spin on it, “but here it goes again, oh, here it goes again”!
“Work It!” by Missy Elliot
This will immediately get you up and singing along, and not feeling like work is so bad after all. And even if it is, at least you have some fun beats to help shift your mood!
“Work” by Rihanna
Yes, it’s time to “work, work, work, work, work, work” but remember – even Rihanna knows the struggle.
“Work B*tch” by Britney Spears
We can all use a little tough love some mornings, don’t we? Queen B is here to help get you out that door and to remind you that you do need to go work.
“Money On My Mind” by Sam Smith
Sometimes, we need some extra incentive to get up and go to work. Sam Smith’s tune can help as a friendly reminder of the reason we all work.
