Top 10 Songs to Pregame to

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Illinois chapter.

Many of you will agree with me when I say there is nothing worse than pregaming to boring music. We have all had those nights when you’re dressed up, pouring shots and then all of a sudden “You Belong with Me” by Taylor Swift starts playing and a little part of you dies on the inside.

Trust me ladies, I feel your pain. No matter how many strawberry banana shots of Burnett’s you take, if the wrong song is playing, your night is starting off horribly. I personally think that the best playlists have a little bit of everything: dubstep, new music, old music and good old belting-your-heart-out songs.

So, I am here to help your future pregames and give you my personal 10 favorite songs that will create the perfect mood and ensure you have a great time before heading out to Red Lion.

10. “Swimming Pools (You and Me)” by Flume & Kendrick

I just heard this song for the first time and loved it. It’ll definitely keep you in the mood all night with its great combination of singing and electronic music.

9. “Pursuit of Happiness” Remix by Steve Aoki

This one will always be a good time. Although it’s a popular song, the remix makes it so much better than and different from the original version.

8. “Mambo No. 5” by Lou Bega

I know. When you’re first reading this, you’re going to think that I am ridiculous. But, give it a try. Trust me, you will not be disappointed. It is a great flashback to the past that everyone will know and love!

7. “All Night Longer” by Sammy Adams

Whenever I listen to this song, I automatically want to get up and start dancing with my friends, even if it’s a Monday morning.

6. “She Doesn’t Mind” by Sean Paul

This is personally my favorite Sean Paul song, and a pregame wouldn’t be done justice without a Sean Paul song.

5. “Get Low” by Dillon Francis & DJ Snake

This will never get old.

4. “Wasted” by Tiesto

This is a fun one to sing and dance to! It is perfect for pregaming with friends, and starting the night off right.

3) “Birthday” by Selena Gomez

A perfect pregame is never complete without at least one Selena Gomez song.

2. “Act My Age” by Hoodie Allen

This is a very fun and underrated song. It’s not played a lot, so you definitely won’t get sick of it.

1. “Smoke Weed Everyday” Dubstep Remix by Snoop Dogg

This is by far my number one favorite song to pregame to. I have never been in a bad mood while listening to this song and neither will you.

These 10 songs will keep you in the party mood until reaching the actual party. You can have great vodka with the best chasers, but if your music is boring, you might as well just stay home and watch an episode of Scandal.
