Our Team’s Favorite Pump Up Songs
by: Yalina
● November 14, 2025

Music has this incredible way of setting the tone for our day – especially at the office. Whether it’s the beat that makes you power through your inbox or that one chorus that makes you forget you’re on your third cup of coffee, the right song can completely change the vibe.

So, I asked around the office: What’s your go-to song that gets you pumped for the work day?

Here’s what our team had to say – and let’s just say, the range is chef’s kiss.

 

PAUL
🎵 Any ‘90s boy band song – NSYNC, Boyz II Men, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, All 4 One, Westlife, Kai, 3T, New Edition, 112
💬 “Because it makes me forget the workday I’m about to start.”
Respectfully, the nostalgia hits harder than Monday morning coffee.

 

LOUIE
🎵 Vogue – Madonna
💬 “Come on, vogue (Vogue) Let your body move to the music…”
We don’t need to say more – Louie’s already voguing at his desk.

 

AYIN
🎵 A Sky Full of Stars – Coldplay
💬 “A real star performer! Always shines a light on my deadlines.”
We love a radiant outlook – and a cosmic sense of humor.

 

PEN
🎵 Higher Love – Kygo, Whitney Houston
💬 “Just gets me so high ;)”
High on life, high on energy – the kind of “lift” that makes the whole office want to join in.

 

KIM
🎵 One Step at a Time – Jordin Sparks
💬 “Acts as a reminder to take it easy.”
A much-needed reminder when the to-do list starts to look like a CVS receipt.

 

MATT
🎵 Essence (Remix) – Wizkid, Justin Bieber, Tems
💬 “Get the vibe that feels right.”
Spoiler: The vibe is always right when this one’s playing.

 

GEOLYN
🎵 Any GOOD music from the ‘70s, ‘80s or ‘90s can instantly lift my spirits as I torture everyone with my tone deaf singing.

💬 “Thanks to my parents and older sisters with impeccable taste in music, I’m a multi-genre, multi-era kinda gal.”  

Her playlists span decades – and so does her karaoke confidence. The vocals may be “experimental,” but the energy? 10/10.

 

YALINA (ME)

🎵 Any hip hop, R&B, & pop ‘90s song hit.

💬 “If it played on MTV Jams or TRL, it’s my productivity anthem.”

 

AGNES
🎵 Give Thanks – Janella Salvador
💬 “So grateful, thankful, and so blessed for the life and all blessings HE, our GOD is giving me and my family every day.”
A beautiful message and the perfect way to close out this playlist — gratitude really is the best kind of rhythm.

No matter your genre – pop, gospel, or something that makes you secretly dance in your chair – music connects us, resets us, and keeps the energy alive and goin’. So next time you walk into the office, play your anthem. The day’s about to hit a higher love. 💫

K.I.T (keep in touch)

ABOUT THE WRITER…

Yalina

A Barbie girl living in a Disney world, where extra EXTRA is simply her lifestyle, where her Beyoncé-level shower concerts are a regular event, and where a good outfit can fix almost anything. A rom-com enthusiast who doesn’t just binge-watch them – she listens to them on audiobook while running actual miles (which qualify her as an athlete). Yalina lives, laughs, and loves deeply—on her big, scattered Mexican family and framily who are close to her heart. But as an avid runner, if you can’t find her, chances are she’s running like Forrest – far, far away… from her problems… and probably from dating apps.
