So I’ve been going through my workout playlist and realizing that it’s impossible for me to fulfill my ideal Chinese songs quota. I usually add some songs because I feel like are good enough, but then slowly delete them because they simply don’t work for me when I’m exercising.
I figured others might also have the same difficulty, so I’m asking your recommendations! Fill up my playlist!

Current Chinese songs on my playlist in order of how long they’ve stayed. Sad fact: CJ + Steelo of M.I.C. are the only Chinese composers of all of those songs.
Get it hot by M.I.C.
Realize Your Beauty 你的美 by Jiang Yingrong
Want You To Know by G.E.M.
Single ladies by M.I.C.

Love Faith Live by Vanness Wu
Super Daddy by M.I.C.
Jump Girl by Amber An
Yalida by Top Combine, Dr.Wobble mix ver.
Ladybro by M.I.C.
Although to be fair, all of the songs with lyrics by Yaoyao probably would’ve been deleted if they were by anyone else because the lyrics …
People, people, I think we’re all missing the obvious song choice here.
What about this one?

Haha,I have it in English!
Here’s how to tell if you’re old: does your workout playlist include General’s Orders and/or the theme song from Shanghai Bund? Mine has both and I won’t apologize.
I’m trying to listen to more modern stuff, so thanks to everyone for sharing!
Kenji Wu’s General Orders? I love that song. I feel like I’m super out of the loop with the younger and hipper TW/HK artists…
The songs from Feng Huang Chuan Qi are often good for workouts — Yi Lu Jing Xi, Zue Xuan Min Zhu Feng, and Zi You Fei Xiang are my favorites.
I also like Tou Ming from Gigi Leung, Du Yi Wu Er from Sammi Cheng, Yi Ge Xia Yu de Xing Qi Tian by Vicki Zhao Wei, and the theme song from Shen Hua (Hu Ge drama version, not the ending theme song, but the beginning one, with the rap-like break).
In Chinese:
凤凰传奇：一路惊喜，最炫民族风，自由飞翔
梁咏琪：透明
郑秀文：独一无二
赵薇：一个下雨的星期天
神话电视剧-opening theme song
Oh, I also recently heard this super catchy song about how the guy is like a panda? I think the chorus has “萌萌的样子” in it — and the title has “panda” (in English) in it. It seemed like it might be a good beat for running, but I never got to download it so can’t promise!
This one?
Yes!! I never saw the video — this is amazing. You’ve totally made my day. :)
I can only workout to Bhangra music xD so no Cfensi style. In case you’re interested, here’s the YouTube list.
Aw, this makes me miss our forum. :|
I don’t work out to music, but I do have an “upbeat Chinese music” playlist (as opposed to my “melancholy Chinese music” playlist” lolol.) Some faves from there:
