Without fail, music changes my mood. Whether I’m listening to a sadder song or a super happy song, it can flip my switch in no time at all. So whenever I feel a bit blah, uninspired, unmotivated, not excited by life, I love listening to songs about life that make me feel happy, good and excited.
As I am convinced I am not the only one who is this impacted by music, I felt the need to share these songs with you. I hope they excite you as much as they do for me, and give you a nice energetic boost when you listen to them.
These songs are genuinely songs I can’t listen to without feeling happy, getting excited, wanting to sing along and jump around. I am sure they can do the same for you and get all your happy juices flowing.

The most uplifting songs about life
Kehlani & G-Eazy – Good Life
If the title doesn’t convince you that this is one of those songs about good life, let the song speak for itself:
Raise up a cup up for all my day ones
Two middle fingers for the haters
Life’s only getting greater
Straight up from nothing we go
Higher than the highest skyscraper
No Little League, we major
The proof is in the paper
We put the good in the good in the good life
Zara Larsson – Lush Life
Ohhh this is such a bop! This song reminds me of summer evenings, dance parties and happiness. Living your best life with your friends, doing what you want and absolute freedom.
I live my day as if it was the last
Live my day as if there was no past
Doin’ it all night, all summer
Doin’ it the way I wanna
Yeah, I’ma dance my heart out ’til the dawn
But I won’t be done when morning comes
Doin’ it all night, all summer
Gonna spend it like no other
If that doesn’t inspire you to live like today’s your last day, I’m not sure what will!
Axwell /\ Ingrosso – Sun is Shining
I have such good memories from this song! Whenever I hear it, I just want to sing along at the top of my lungs, tell everyone I come accross that they’re shining like the sun, and it makes my heart so happy! It’s just one of those truly happy songs about a good life.
Imagine listening to this on the beach or in a park, with your friend or partner, enjoying all the amazing things life wants to give you!
Then you came my way on a winter’s day
Shouted loudly “Come out and play!”
Can’t you tell? I got news for you
Sun is shining and so are you
And we’re gonna be alright
Dry your tears and hold tight
Can’t you tell? I got news for you
Sun is shining and so are you

The Mowgli’s – I’m Good
I listened this song all the time when I was on Zanzibar, but that’s not the only reason it makes me so happy. This song is about the things we’re going through in life, and knowing that everything is okay no matter what.
They actually sing about trying to figure out life and wanting to fit in, so it’s more relatable than it may seem! This is one of my personal favorite songs about life!
I’m good, I’m good, I’m good, I’m good
Living life just like I should
Wouldn’t change it if I could
I’m good, I’m good, I’m good
Ed Sheeran – Bibia Be Ye Ye
The title of this song is a phrase in Twi, a language spoken in Ghana. It comes down to all will be well. The first part of the song is about Ed’s life in which everything is going wrong, but even when things aren’t going right, all will be well.
it’s a happy song with a catchy tune and I love the Twi lyrics as well, so this should really be on your list of songs about a good life!
Someone told me, “Always say what’s on your mind”
And I am only being honest with you, I
I get lonely and make mistakes from time to time
Se enioma enko ye, bibia be ye ye
American Authors – Best Day Of My Life
I think this is one of those classic songs about life, and especially classic songs about a good life. Essentially the lyrics are about having the best day of your life (bet you didnt see that coming).
The song feels so happy and summery, super uplifting and exciting energy! About knowing that there is more, knowing that your day can be as good as you’d like to, and to keep going no matter what.
I’m never gonna look back
Woah, never gonna give it up
No, please don’t wake me now
This is gonna be the best day of my life

Imagine Dragons – On Top Of The World
If we’re being honest, I mostly know this song from the Liv & Maddie cover by Dove Cameron. But no matter what your favorite version is, this song will pump you up and motivate you for life.
They’re about the good times in life, but also about getting back up when you’re down. It’s one of those really feel-good songs about life that just make you happy and keep you going!
‘Cause I’m on top of the world, ‘ey
I’m on top of the world, ‘ey
Waiting on this for a while now
Paying my dues to the dirt
I’ve been waiting to smile, ‘ey
Been holding it in for a while, ‘ey
Take it with me if I can
Been dreaming of this since a child
I’m on top of the world
Ronan Keating – Life is a Rollercoaster
One of my favorite songs about life since I was a little girl, Ronan Keating’s ‘Life is a rollercoaster’ is one of the best songs about life that I know.
keeping it real, the lyrics are
We found love, oh
So don’t fight it
Life is a rollercoaster
Just gotta ride it
I need you, ooh
So stop hiding
Our love is a mystery
Girl, let’s get inside it
It’s not all good or bad, life is a rollercoaster with ups and downs. But the most important thing is to just show up and go with it in order to truly live a full life.

OneRepublic – Good Life
Ariana Grande – successful
This is my jam! A whole song about being a young, successful woman. I love the confidence, the beat, and for me it’s the ultimate song about life that I am gunning for. I listen to this in the morning, in the shower, on my walks, really anytime of day.
Although it’s not one of the typical songs about life, it emphasizes how fun and good it feels to be successful, and she is owning her success.
Tonight, I’m a baller, babe (tonight, I’m a baller, baby)
Even way beneath in, yeah, oh, whoa (even way beneath me)
What else is there to say, boy? (What else is there to say, boy?)
Say, bae, you should play with me, babeYeah, it feels so good to be so young
And have this fun and be successful, yeah
I’m so successful, yeah
And, girl, you too, you are so young
And beautiful and so successful, oh, whoa, yeah
Macklemore – Glorious (feat. Skylar Grey)
A song about follwoing your passion, doing what feels right and living light with that as the main priority.
Macklemore wrote things song after a period of self-doubt, and he realized that writing and performing music was just in him and something he had to do. Use this song as inspiration, and realize how glorious you feel when you do what feels good and follow your passion!
I feel glorious, glorious
Got a chance to start again
I was born for this, born for this
It’s who I am, how could I forget?
I made it through the darkest part of the night
And now I see the sunrise
Now I feel glorious, glorious
Lennon & Maisy – A Life That’s Good
It’s all in the title. This song is #1 on my list of songs about a good life. Don’t let their candy sweetness fool you, this song gets into it. It’s about the most important things in life, and that when you have them, you really have a life that’s good.
One of few very simple, very sweet songs about a good life that will shed some perspective on your world.
At the end of the day, Lord I pray
I have a life that’s good.
Two arms around me
Heaven to ground me
And a family that always calls me home.
Four wheels to get there.
Enough love to share and a
Sweet, sweet, sweet song.

Hanson – MMMbop
A classic! If you’ve never heard this song, I don’t know what happened to your childhood. But it’s a happiness gem. The lyrics may not be the most inspired, or diverse, there is some wisdom in them:
So hold on the ones who really care
In the end they’ll be the only ones there
And when you get old and start losing your hair
Can you tell me who will still care?
AKA, focus on the important things in life, the important people, because they are the ones that’ll stick around. As one of the best songs about a good life, listen to this song for a pick me up!
Matoma – Wonderful Life (Mi Oh My)
Not the most profound song or the deepest lyrics, Wonderful life is just a happy song about a happy life that’s perfect to get your mood up.
All of our friends, feet in the sand
Beneath the stars it never ends
And we got no explanation cause there’s no expectations
Just beautiful faces and nowhere to goMi oh my, it’s a wonderful life
Yves Larock – Rise Up
Let’s be real, we don’t listen this song for the lyrics. There are about 10 different sentences in the lyrics, that keep repeating. The real magic of this song is in the beat and the music! I used to have this song as my alarm clock in the morning, because it made me so excited and I felt so good listening to it!
This is definitely one of those songs that will get you in a good mood no matter what, so I strongly encourage you to add it to your playlist!
Conclusion
I hope you love these songs about life as much as I do, and they’ll help you feel happy on a rainy day. These are songs I turn to when I feel a little down, when I don’t have my excitement for life,
So pick your favorite songs about life from the list, turn up the volume and have a little dance party to get into the greatest mood!
