27 Best Beat Drops

18. “Boy Oh Boy” by Diplo & GTA

Song year: 2013

GTA (Good Times Ahead) and Diplo produced this bop. The song was track 5 on “Random White Dude Be Everywhere.” The song includes only one line, followed by “oh boy,” repeated throughout the duration. But the instrumental pop song is electrifying and makes you want to blast it on your way to work for a bit of spice in your day.

19. “Drop You Like” by Delax

Song year: 2014

Listen to this song and see what you think. The lyrics talk about dropping you like a needle with little elaboration, and you can interpret the meaning as you like. The song includes shouts and stutters that are throwbacks to older songs. The pop song blasts rap, trance, and electro beats.

You’ll still be thinking about this song after listening to it. The theme most likely regards drugs, so maybe keep this one on hold in the workplace.

20. “Raise Your Weapon” by Deadmau5

Song year: 2010

“Raise Your Weapon” features Greta Sybo Bech for vocals. The lyrics use war as a metaphor for when two people reach the breaking point of a relationship. She talks about ripping hearts out, assaults, and how one word can have the power to end an entire relationship.

The strong simile shows how too many occasions hinder love. Sometimes, ego is too powerful of a thing to overcome. You burn bridges, and anger and mistrust take over. Skrillex co-wrote “Raise Your Weapon.” The album “4×4=12” featured this song.

21. “Tremor” by Dimitri Vegas, Martin Garrix & Like Mike

Song year: 2014

“Tremor” is track 4 on “Gold Skies.” The countdown fires you up when the beat drops. Belgian Dimitri Vegas and Greek Like Mike paired with Dutch DJ and record producer Martin Garrix for “Tremor.”

They released the hit via Spinnin’ Records, and “Tremor” made #30 on the UK Singles chart. “Tremor” also broke barriers in Belgium, France, and the Netherlands. Worldwide, fans appreciate the drop and can’t get enough of the beat.

22. “Don’t Let Me Down” by The Chainsmokers

Song year: 2016

The Chainsmokers hit features Daya, and Farrago produced the song. She describes hitting a wall and wanting to reach out to her partner, who’s not around. She begs them to help her, but she feels like she’s losing herself. She hopes they’ll be there for her when she needs them, but they’re running out of time.

After the single “Roses” achieved chart success, this song followed suit but with a different approach. The notes are almost frantic with heavy chords and a switched drop.

23. “The Middle” by Zedd, Maren Morris & Grey

Song year: 2018

The Monsters and Strangerz produced “The Middle.” The song made track nine on “Spring Party.” The country singer, Maren Morris, sings about the decision of staying or leaving a relationship. The people the song is about share an aggressive, messy relationship even though they went in with good intentions. She talks about not being able to let go, so they should meet halfway to save their relationship.

She wants to meet in the middle even though they’re not healthy for one another, and their pride hurts them. Zedd introduced the song as a teaser on Twitter the same year.

24. “Blue (KNY Factory Remix)” by Eiffel 65

Song year: 2012

KNY Factory produced “Blue.” The story involves a fictional character who lives in a blue world. All day and night, he sees that color. The inside and outside are blue. He lives in a blue house and drives a blue car.

The lyrics and beat are solemn but eerily cheerful. There are so many people around, but no one listens. The loneliness deems the singer to say: I’m blue, or I’m sad. The song has various remixes, making the theme surprisingly relatable with the trap beats.

25. “Dum Dee Dum (JiKay Remix)” by Keys N Krates

Song year: 2019

Keys N Krates produced this remix. The entire song has no lyrics. The instrumental pop beats include some sound effects, like “dum dee dum.” Despite that, the song still hits the spot. You get excited and find yourself singing along to nothing with true meaning.

Make sure you hit the repeat button and include this song on your best beat drops playlist to include at your next Friday get-together.

26. “Revolution (Gioni Remix)” by Diplo ft. Faustix, Imanos & Kali  

Song year: 2014

Gioni produced “Revolution.” The first line asks if we can see it. What? That’s up to you. The worst has passed, and you defeated the fictional monsters with love. The song encourages broken people to change their luck and steal the spotlight.

You should continue forward and remain strong. You left the sadness behind, and everything will work out fine. The repetitive and catchy lyrics are encouraging, and the powerful beats ake it even better.

27. “Trap Queen (Crankdat Remix)” by Fetty Wap 

Song year: 2015

“Trap Queen” features iconic opening lyrics. The song recounts meeting a pretty girl and getting to know her more. The lyrics describe chilling together, getting high, and selling drugs for riches.
