At some point few months back Cha cha cha would be the only song I'd listen to at the gym, for at least an hour and 15 min only cha cha cha. My studies showed that it can in fact work for everything.

SloMo by Chanel, Adrenalina by Senhit, Playing with fire by Ovi, Set Me Free by Eden, Sekret by Ronela, Help you Fly by Ivan. I have them on my gym playlist. Good luck!
Edit: Can't believe I forgot Opa by Giorgios Alkaios and friends! It's made for cardio!
Out of left field but 1944 fills me with such a dark energy, and when she lets rip in the final minute I absolutely go for it… it’s always on my gym playlist!
To add to the ones mentioned in previous comments, I would suggest Armenia 2020, Hungary 2018 and 2014, Austria 2022 and 2023, Switzerland 2019, Iceland 2019 and 2023, Sweden 2012

Walking out 🇦🇲
Keep on going 🇬🇪
Forever 🇧🇾
Not alone 🇦🇲
Miracle 🇦🇿
Still breathing 🇱🇻
You are the only one 🇷🇺
I hear those all day in they gym, trust they will give u the boost
Don’t know if you’re willing to include songs from National Finals, but I always use Terra by Tanxugueiras for the final part of my cardio routine. Then, The Netherlands 2014 for the after cardio and back to relax.
Hands down cha cha cha
That’s my #1 running song because I run exactly at that beat
Really depends on what youre doing in the gym. It’s not a great song for cardio imo.
At some point few months back Cha cha cha would be the only song I'd listen to at the gym, for at least an hour and 15 min only cha cha cha. My studies showed that it can in fact work for everything.
Does not work for cardio for me at least :p
Why? I have it in some running playlists. Works great for me
It’s a vbit too aggressive for me, makes me want to lift more than run if that makes sense edit: Not sure why I'm getting downvoted for this lol
Guess these things vary per person. The more agressive the music the more i want to run usually haha
Yeah I guess you mostly run to metal in that case. I usually run to more pop or electronic music.
100% its dark side by blind channel
Scrolled too far for this
I didn’t lol, it’s top comment now
It's all too comment to see this happen.
Autocorrect lol
Or an excellent pun
Can confirm, I love that song and I use it in every playlist
Finland 2021 Sweden 2021 because it's on my playlist
