Let's face it - we've all experienced times where we desperately need something to put a spring in our step, a smile on our face and to inject us with a shot of confidence. Whether it's because you've had a hard day at work, a crappy week, or your year isn't quite going to plan, it's easy to get down on yourself and slip into a rut.

Luckily, the below playlist is designed to pick-you-up and have you feeling fresh, confident and filled with happy thoughts in no time at all.

This fresh and confident feeling is something that you can also experience when using CB12, the fresh breath product that offers first class breath as it gives you your daily shot of confidence.


1. Katrina & the Waves – 'Walking on Sunshine'


Who can possibly deny the sheer feel-good power of this song? A song that's positively imbued with happiness, it'll bring sunshine to even the darkest of hearts on the cloudiest, most miserable of days. Just try to listen to this song without tapping your foot. Wave your arms, if you must. It's allowed.

2. AC/DC – '
Back in Black'


Ohhhh yes – there had to be a beast of a rock tune in here somewhere, and this song ticks all the boxes. One listen to the Aussie rockers' best-known tune, and you'll be ready to take on the world.

3. Eminem – 'Lose Yourself'

There's nothing like a bit of Eminem to get you punching the air. Just us, then? C'mon – it's not just the boxing-themed accompanying video, but the sense of 'Hell yeah! I can do anything! Well, most things, at least!' that goes with this song in particular. You're so right, Eminem. You do only get one shot. This opportunity does come once in a lifetime. The world is yours for the taking.

4. Chic – 'Good Times'

If ever there was a song that was made to strut down the street to, it was this '70s disco gem. That bassline is irresistible for starters. When you add the feel-good chorus into the mix, and sprinkle a dose of good-old fashioned magic on top, you'll be feeling a million dollars in no time.

5. Outkast – 'Hey Ya'

It's not just the sassy lyrics. It's not just the serious groove to the tune. It's not just the handclaps or the fact that Andre 3000 firmly installed himself as a contender for coolest dude in the universe. It's all of those combined. Shake it like a Polaroid picture, indeed.

**

6. Taylor Swift – 'Shake It Off'

Alright, even if you're not a fan of Taylor Swift's 'Squad Goals' and general persona of a Stepford Wife-in-training, you have to admit that this is what the young people nowadays call 'an absolute banger of a tune'. Not only are the lyrics all about self-motivation and ignoring the haters, but it's a damned catchy little number, too.

7. Kool & the Gang – 'Fresh'

Back to the disco era for this one, but what a song! Kool & the Gang may be best known for 'Celebration', but this little number is just as – excuse the pun – fresh. Exciting. So inviting.

**

8. Black Eyed Peas – 'I Gotta Feeling'

It may be a song written primarily about getting ready to go out on the town, but in truth, you can apply this Black Eyed Peas to any time of the day. Or any day of the week, for that matter. Or heck, any day of the year. It's 100% guaranteed to put a spring in your step and even those with an irrational hatred for will.i.am (i.e. us) can't resist that chorus.

**

9. Mark Ronson & Bruno Mars – 'Uptown Funk'

If we're talking stone-cold modern classics, they don't come more peppy than this. It's got trumpets, for heaven's sake. It's got finger-clicking vocals, slicker-than-slick production and it's even got a dance that's been recreated in YouTube parodies. If this song doesn't make you walk tall, better check your pulse.

**

10. Survivor – 'Eye of the Tiger'

No playlist of motivational, feel-good, confidence-instilling songs can possibly be complete without this track. It evokes all the feelings that you need to drawn on when you're not feeling at your best: determination. Inner confidence. Self-belief. When that chorus kicks in, you're invincible. The power, as they say, is yours.
