A Little Mood Music: The 10 Best ‘Bounce Back’ Songs On My iPod

On my iPod you’ll find a playlist titled “BOUNCE BACK.” The ever-growing collection includes all the songs that help pull me out of a funk. Whether it’s bouncing back from a break up, or just a bad hair day, they always manage to put me back on the road to a good mood. After you read my top ten pick-me-up tunes, help expand my playlist by leaving your own bounce back songs in the comments!

10. Diana Ross – I’m Coming Out

I defy you to play this disco classic without breaking into song at the chorus and dancing. Whether it’s in your living room or down the street is up to you.

    No Kanye? It may be obvious, but “Stronger” is my definitive pump up/bounce back song!

  • Kelly

    Nice list.
    I’d also like to submit:
    Zero – The Yeah Yeah Yeahs
    Good Luck – Basement Jaxx
    Anything by the Freemasons

  • Erin Carlson

    Agreed Alana! Anything by Kanye works for me. Also, the Jackson 5.

  • jamiedc

    sorry if this is to obvious, but, “Just Dance” by Lady Gaga helps pick me up or 80s Madonna like “Get Into the Grove”.

  • Sue

    Totally have to agree with you there Kelly, Good Luck is an awesome song! Always makes me feel good!

  • BigS

    May I suggest Bon Jovi’s masterpiece “Bad Medicine” as the all-time best bounceback song. Catchy, upbeat and completely nonsensical. Whoa-oh-oh. Shake it up.

  • Megan Collins

    Currently blasting “Good Luck” on repeat – not because I need a pick-me-up, but just because it’s such a fun song. Thanks for the reco, Kelly and Sue!

    And yes, Lady Gaga, Madonna and Kanye ALL need to go on the list. Love ‘em!

    I like “Express Yourself” by NWA. It’s got tons of swaggger, you can dance to it, and the message is surprisingly positive.

  • Michael

    How about Harry Nilsson’s You’re Breaking My Heart?

  • I’m not drinking orange juice

    Strut – Adam Lambert
    Watch Me Shine – Joanna Pacitti
    Anthem, One Girl Revolution (Battle Mix), and Me Against the World – Superchick
    Girls Just Wanna Have Fun – Cyndi Lauper
    Girls on Top – BoA (the korean version, while you can’t understand it, the point is clear)
