Released in 2011, “You Make Me Feel...” by Cobra Starship, may be a bit old but will never be too old to listen to. I’ve come to find that the older songs are always the best ones! This song starts off with a slower beat but quickly moves into a loud and energetic chorus. Whenever I listen to this song I feel productive and motivated which is why it’s best to listen to when working out!
