15 of the best Pop workout bops

A sweat soundtrack you need

By Maia Kedem, Audacy

Let’s be real, working out can be a #struggle. Sometimes (or all the time), you’ve gotta dig real deep to get yourself on that fitness grind. So regardless of the fact that working out can make you feel like your best self, sometimes the motivational push we need is all about the music. We are Audacy after all…

The right track can take a workout from feeling like a chore to dare we say it - fun. We know that curating a truly epic playlist can also require expert no-how and dedication, so we’ve done some of the hard work for you. Also knowing that only 15 songs would get tired real quick, and that in no way these are all the songs we or anyone should bump to at the gym, we used our expert opinion to simply suggest a solid 15 to help get that perfect Pop Workout Playlist of yours started.

Featuring a mix of throwbacks, recent bops, and a few in between, the following tracks are sure to get you pumped and more than ready to get your fitness on. So in no particular order, here they are.

Oh, but since you can’t press play on anything below, you already know we've got you covered. To help get that blood flowing and that body healthily jacked or lean (whichever you prefer) check out Audacy's Worthy Workouts exclusive station, to keep you up and running with today's top artists.

Okay, but seriously - check out our suggestions below.

1 Levitating - Dua Lipa

The gym, the club, literally anywhere. This song is on permanent repeat in our heads anyway, so obvi it’s making this list.

2 Side To Side - Ariana Grande featuring Nick Minaj

You already know, we’re comin’ at you with the spin class vibes with this one. So go ahead and spin your heart out and work those quads to this buoyantly rhythmic pop beat.

Britney Spears

3 Toxic - Britney Spears

First off, you should be playing at least one Britney Spears song per workout. That’s just the rules. Second, Toxic is perhaps less of a song and more of a secret propaganda tactic to sculpt our bodies into pure perfection.

4 Good as Hell - Lizzo

Whether you’re twerking it out on the treadmill or just chillin' out in child’s pose, our one and only full-bravada queen of all things self-love will have you feeling good as hell all workout long.

5 Shape of You - Ed Sheeran

We're feeling a swift jog situation for this one, or maybe some elliptical action. Whatever cardio selection you make it's guaranteed to be easier with Ed Sheeran serenading you whilst you sweat. Amiright or amirgiht!?

Ariana Grande and Lady Gaga

6 Rain On Me - Lady Gaga featuring Ariana Grande

Channel your inner Grande or Gaga and grab your workout bud. No rain required, but actually a workout in the rain sounds mighty refreshing. So do jumping jacks in a puddle, or don't. Either way this song will jazz your workout right up.

7 Work from Home - Fifth Harmony featuring Ty Dolla $ign

Fifth Harmony may have broken up, but “Work From Home” will live on forever in its rightful place, on our pump up pop playlist.

Miley Cyrus

8 SMS (Bangerz) - Miley Cyrus featuring Britney Spears

Bangerz was a major moment for Miley and honestly for us too. The year was 2013 and as fresh college graduates, this album was everything, and on excessive repeat - for pre-games, long car rides, what else, oh yeah and workouts… our bad we forgot why we were here for a second.

9 Pump It - Black Eyed Peas

This one literally tells you to pump iron in the title. Okay fine, were taking creative liberty with the lyrics. But still, this songs has the perfect workout energy to get you hype.

Drake and DJ Khaled

10 Popstar - DJ Khaled featuring Drake

Issa bop with hella good tempo, that's all that needs to be said.

Ciara

11 Ciara - Level Up

Ciara is a queen. This song is iconic, periodt. It's also perfect to level up any workout.

12 SexyBack - Justin Timberlake

If this songs title isn't enough motivation, think about JT singing this song to you while do some squats and that should do it.

Ciara and Missy Elliott

13 Lose Control - Missy Elliott featuring Ciara and Fat Man Scoop

The second we hear "music make you lose control," then Fat Man Scoop’s "LET'S GO!” followed by the beat drop, then you know it’s on! Before you know it, it's time to chug some water and wipe your forehead off with a towel.

14 Don’t Stop The Music - Rihanna

Intense from the jump - perfect for a workout, there’s just something about this song’s bassline that’s the gift that keeps giving.

Whitney Houston

15 I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me) - Whitney Houston

We danced to this in Nashville at one of our besties Bachelorette party and it was honestly some the the best cardio. RIP Whitney and thank you for this bop.
