9 Happy Disney Songs for when You Need a Pick Me up ...

1. Circle of Life

If the opening of this song does not add this to the list of happy Disney songs, I don’t know what will. This is one of all my all time favorite Disney songs not only for the epic intro but because it reminds me of my favorite Disney movies, The Lion King. This song brings me back to how happy The Lion King makes me. And if you love that movie as much as I do, “The Circle of Life” is definitely a song to jam out to when you need a pick me up.

2. Under the Sea

This is such an upbeat and fun song, how could I not include it? It has such great instrumentals that you can’t help but dance around to. And you can’t deny that you know every single word to this song. Trust me, put this song on for a bit and you will forget whatever it was that was bringing you down in the first place.

3. You Got a Friend in Me

This classic Toy Story song is one of the perfect happy Disney songs to pick you up. It always reminds you that you have friends who will stand by you no matter what. In Toy Story, Andy always has a friend in Woody and Buzz, just like you will always have your friends. This is a great song to listen to whenever you are feeling a bit lonely.

4. A Whole New World

This one is a Disney classic. You cannot call yourself a Disney fan without knowing all of the words to this song. I love this song because it reminds me that there is so much to see in the world. It encourages you to take a step outside of your comfort zone and take in everything the world has to offer. Not to mention that Aladdin as a pretty sexy voice, even if he is animated.

5. Go the Distance

Ever need a song to motivate you to reach your goals? Well look no further than “Go The Distance” from Hercules. Not only does it have beautiful vocals, but it also is actually a really inspiring song. It might not be one of the most upbeat song but you can't help feel motivated to achieve when you hear it.

6. I Just Can’t Wait to Be King

This is one of my all time favorite happy Disney songs! It is so upbeat and so fun to listen. Zazu always makes me laugh during this song and Simba is just so stubborn. I dare you to listen to this song without feeling instantly better. Bonus points if you can keep yourself from dancing or singing; it just can’t happen.

7. Colors of the Wind

Pocahontas might not be the most historically accurate movie ever, but I can look past it for this awesome song. I love this so much because it reminds me how incredible nature is. It makes me want to run around a forest and play with animals. And while I know that will never happen, I can do the 2nd best thing, which is jam out to this song.

8. I’ll Make a Man out of You

The minute you hear the drums beating at the beginning of this song, you know that you are in for a treat. Then the vocals come in and you are convinced that this is one of the best Disney songs out there. I am in college, and this song still gets played at parties because everyone loves it so much.

9. Be Our Guest

Not only does this song makes me incredibly happy, it also makes me hungry. But besides that point, I love this song. It starts off a bit slow but builds pretty fast to end up as a super fun song. If only real dinner parties could be as joyful as this song.

While all Disney songs have something special about them, I find these songs to be the happiest of them all. They are the songs you know all the words to and can’t help but dance to.
