Welcome to the very first installment of our brand new “Takeover Tuesdays” playlist series, where we ask artists and taste-makers to curate playlists entirely unique to them, exclusively for us.
To kick it off, we tapped Becky G, the ultimate cool-girl in Latin-infused dance pop, to compile her top 10 favorite songs she loves to “Break A Sweat” to….Get it??
Below, Becky talks about everything from her go-to workout beats to the standby pregame track she plays right before hitting the stage.
1. “Jumpman” by Jumpman” by Drake, ft. Future: “[This song] just gets me going. I like ‘hood music.”
2. “Right Hand”, Drake: “I like the beat.”
3. “Cheerleader”, OMI: “I love ‘Cheerleader.’ And I love the Nicky Jam remix. I love that song, but the remix gave me another reason to love it.”
4. “Break a Sweat”, Becky G: “What can I say, I love ‘Break a Sweat.’ It’s very motivating and exactly what you need to hear. All the time.”
5. “Ay Vamos”, J Balvin: “Great song to work out to. I love the beat.”
6. “La Carcacha”, Selena: “I work out to this. It’s a cumbia and it’s fun.”
7. “My Way”, Fetty Wap.
8. “Am I Wrong”, Nico and Vinz: “This is my favorite song to run to. It feels good.”
9. “Cadera”, Bomba Estéreo: “Love it. I’m a big fan of their music.”
