Songs About Work: The Soundtrack of Our Daily Grind (Part 1)

Music accompanies us through almost every moment of life — and work is no exception. Whether you’re starting your morning with a cup of coffee, commuting to the office, or pushing through a long afternoon of tasks, the right song can change your mood and boost your productivity.

There are countless songs about work that capture different aspects of professional life: the motivation to keep going, the challenges of a busy schedule, the satisfaction of achieving goals, and sometimes even the humor and struggles of everyday jobs. From motivational work songs and songs about hard work to office-themed music and songs about careers and ambition, artists across genres have explored what it means to work, dream, and succeed.

Music can inspire focus, relieve stress, and even help us feel more connected to what we do. Many people build entire work playlists filled with productivity songs, motivational tracks for work, and tunes that help them stay energized during the day.

Because this topic resonates with so many people, we decided to ask around and collect songs that different individuals associate with their work. The answers were fascinating, inspiring, and sometimes surprising. In fact, we received so many responses that we decided to turn them into two separate articles.

You are now reading Part 1 of our collection of songs people associate with their work. If you enjoy it, don’t forget to check out Part 2, where we’ll share even more personal picks.

So let’s dive into the first set of songs people connect with their professional lives!

Table of Contents

1. “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor

Our first song comes from Haiko de Poel, Marketing Specialist at Palmetto Surety Corporation. When thinking about the music he associates with work, he chose the iconic track “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor. Here is what he says about why he associates this song with his work:

That song defined the grind of relaunching Palmetto Surety Corporation, a 20-year-old surety bond company that needed a complete identity overhaul. We’re talking full rebrand, new digital infrastructure, new positioning, all while keeping operations running. That opening riff hit every morning at 5 am before the rest of the world woke up.

The real pressure wasn’t creative, it was speed. Underwriting platforms, agent networks across six states, and a brand story that had to resonate with bail bondsmen AND Fortune 500 contractors simultaneously. There’s no trophy for almost finishing a rebrand.

What made it click was treating the relaunch like a championship fight – round by round, not all at once. Small wins compounded: approval times dropped, agent onboarding accelerated, and the digital presence actually started converting. That song reminded me daily that the climb never stops, and neither should the standard.

2. “Rise” by Katy Perry

The next song on our list comes from Laura Stone, Founder & Guide at Sydney by Kayak. When asked which song she associates with her work, she chose “Rise” by Katy Perry. Here is what Laura says about why she connects this song with her work:

“Rise” by Katy Perry is the song I associate most with building Sydney by Kayak from scratch.

I’d be up at 3:15 am, loading 18kg kayaks onto a van in the dark, questioning everything – then that song would come on during the drive to Lavender Bay. Something about it matched exactly what I was doing: getting up before anyone else, literally chasing the sunrise.

It carried me through the hardest stretches – the La Niña years when we spent more time refunding bookings than paddling, the nights YouTubing booking systems and baby food recipes simultaneously. Building something real requires that kind of stubbornness.

Now when I hear it, I think of 173 baby mangroves planted, a solar-powered harbour cleanup boat we helped fund, and a sunrise tour that books out weeks in advance. The song hasn’t changed. What it represents has grown enormously.

3. “Lose Yourself” by Eminem

The next song in our collection was shared by Samuel Landis, tax attorney and educator. The track he associates with his work is “Lose Yourself” by Eminem. Here is what Samuel says about why he associates this song with his work:

“Lose Yourself” (Eminem). It’s the one song I associate with tax controversy work because when the IRS clock is running (appeals deadlines, levy notices, payroll tax fires), you don’t get a second “clean” shot to control the narrative and the paperwork.

I’ve handled thousands of cases over 33+ years and founded Segal, Cohen & Landis in 1997; a lot of my biggest matters have been in music/entertainment where discretion matters and the numbers are unforgiving. When a client’s bank account is frozen or payroll taxes are stacking up, the job is to triage fast, get collections paused, and build a resolution package that actually clears IRS processing – installment agreement, CNC, levy release, penalty abatement, or an OIC when the math supports it.

That song plays in my head during the late nights assembling financials and exhibits that make or break a settlement – especially when you’re trying to avoid trust fund recovery penalties or keep a business alive long enough to pay people. It’s not motivational fluff; it’s a reminder that in tax practice, precision plus speed is often the difference between a controlled outcome and a preventable disaster.

4. “Under Pressure” by Queen & David Bowie

The next song in our collection was shared by Daniel Reynolds, Managing Director at Dynamo LED Displays. The track he associates with his work is “Under Pressure” by Queen & David Bowie. Here is what Daniel says about why he associates this song with his work:

The song is “Under Pressure” by Queen & David Bowie. Big go-lives for stadium scoreboards or retail flagships feel exactly like that final bassline: the countdown, cameras rolling, tens of thousands waiting, and a control room watching every pixel.

In those moments, discipline matters. We genlock processors to broadcast, follow timecode so cues land on the beat, run 3840 Hz+ to avoid camera banding, and build in PSU and data redundancy so nothing blinks. That pressure sharpens teams, from rigging to content ops, and when the wall fades up perfectly calibrated, you remember why you do it.

5. “Start Me Up” by The Rolling Stones

The next song was shared by Juan Carlos, Owner at Best Used Gym Equipment. The track he connects with his work is “Start Me Up” by The Rolling Stones. Here is what Juan says about why he associates this song with his work:

“Start Me Up” by The Rolling Stones is my work anthem. It’s what I hear when we bring a dead treadmill back to life: belt tracked, motor load-tested, console burn-in done, emergency stop validated. When it runs smooth at spec amperage with no vibration, that riff hits.

It also fits install days. After de-install, rigging, proper crating, and white-glove delivery, we power up on dedicated 20A circuits we planned for and check user flow. When every unit starts on the first try and passes final checks, the team hums along too.

6. “Can’t Hold Us” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

The next song in our collection was shared by Nicole Farber, CEO and Owner of ENX2 Legal Marketing. The track she associates with her work is “Can’t Hold Us” by Macklemore & Ryan Lewis. Here is what Nicole says about why she associates this song with her work:

I associate it with those gritty, head-down seasons building ENX2 Legal Marketing, when I was a single mom trying to grow a team, serve law firms nationwide, and keep my energy up even when I was running on fumes.

During the pandemic, that song was basically my internal metronome: keep moving, keep creating, keep your people safe. We kept every employee employed, and I leaned hard into “reset and get creative” thinking to help law firms adjust fast when their pipelines and intake suddenly changed.

The lyric-level lesson for me is momentum + belief + team. When you’re entrusted with someone else’s firm, you work like it’s yours – and when things feel impossible, you don’t wait to “feel ready,” you level up by doing the next right thing.

7. “Bridge Over Troubled Water” by Simon & Garfunkel

The next song comes from Jessica-Lee Tingley, Founder and CEO of The JobBridge, Inc. She chose the timeless classic “Bridge Over Troubled Water” by Simon & Garfunkel as the track that best reflects her work. Here is what Jessica-Lee says about why she associates this song with her work:

“Bridge Over Troubled Water” by Simon & Garfunkel instantly takes me back to late nights coaching a job seeker with autism through her first ATS-optimized resume on The JobBridge platform.

As founder and CEO, I’ve built this accessibility-first tool to span employment barriers, just like the song’s promise of support – users like Sarah J. landed dream software dev roles in 3 weeks using our AI resume builder and job matching.

It fuels my participant-first philosophy: from my days as a Job Developer placing folks with ADHD in meaningful work, to now powering 3x more interviews via data-driven insights, proving bridges – not barriers – unlock careers.

8. “Umbrella” by Rihanna

The next song was shared by Patti Yencho, Owner of Professional Insurance Advisors, LLC. She associates her work with the hit “Umbrella” by Rihanna. Here is what Patti says about why she connects this song with her work:

As a third-generation independent insurance agent with Professional Insurance Advisors in Florida, serving families and businesses for 26 years, this song captures my “whole life or risk” approach – protecting everything from homes and cars to accounting firms’ E&O needs and contractors’ workers’ comp.

It takes me back to a late-night quote for a contractor facing high-risk HVAC jobs; we factored in their loss history, 15 employees’ payroll, and industry code 5183, tailoring coverage for lost wages and multi-state sites, giving them peace of mind before a major bid.

Another time, helping an accounting firm select prior acts coverage matching their start date avoided personal payouts on old tax errors – ensuring continuous protection as life changes, just like Rihanna’s promise under the storm.

9. “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen

The next song comes from Warren Davies, Owner of Beyond CRM. He chose the classic “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen as the song that best represents his work. Here is what Warren says about why he associates this song with his work:

“Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen. Every time I hear it, I’m back in those early BeyondCRM days – no salary for two years, putting staff and suppliers first, wondering if the gamble would pay off. That song is relentless forward momentum, which is exactly what starting a CRM consultancy from scratch demands.

The lyric “I’m having such a good time” stuck with me during the hardest stretch. Growing a team from 8 to 36, watching revenue jump 500%, then walking away from it all on principle – none of that happens without genuinely loving what you’re doing, even when it’s brutal.

It also captures something I believe about CRM consulting specifically: the moment you stop moving, you fall behind. Technology shifts, client needs evolve, and yesterday’s development-heavy solution becomes tomorrow’s configuration. The businesses that thrive are the ones that keep running – not recklessly, but with real purpose and momentum.

10. “Unstoppable” by Sia

The next song comes from Suchi Jain Saxena, Founder and CEO of SJS Group LLC. She associates her work with the empowering track “Unstoppable” by Sia. Here is what Suchi says about why she connects this song with her work:

I played it the week I left Silicon Valley (Palo Alto Networks/Cisco/NetApp) to buy and scale CustomCuff.co, because it captured the quiet confidence you need when there’s no brand halo, no org chart, and the decisions are all on you.

That song takes me back to the unglamorous parts of scaling a customized jewelry business: rebuilding the operator team, tightening fulfillment, and living in the data until we could ship personalized pieces reliably to 70+ countries. The first time we crossed 1M+ products sold and the business was sustainably profitable, I remember it feeling less like a “big win” and more like validation that the daily discipline worked.

It also reminds me of NYFW Feb 2024 – seeing our star maps and handwriting engravings on a runway after years of late nights was surreal. The work song for me isn’t about hype; it’s about showing up when no one’s watching and being consistent long enough for the results to become obvious.

11. “Riptide” by Vance Joy

The next song was shared by Kristen Kearns, Founder of Luxury Marine. She associates her work with the catchy and playful track “Riptide” by Vance Joy. Here is what Kristen says about why she connects this song with her work:

I’ve logged a lot of my working life on the water – starting as a kid sailing with my dad, then superyachts in the US, and later captaining and managing boats on Sydney Harbour – so that song always takes me straight back to the rhythm of departure checks, weather windows, and long days where you don’t get to wing it.

I most associate it with the moment I realised I was already doing brokerage work as a captain: walking buyers through a vessel after owners decided to sell, translating systems, service history, and compliance into plain English, and keeping everyone calm during negotiations. In my world, trust is built by being operationally precise – because the ocean punishes shortcuts fast.

Now, running Luxury Marine, it’s the “soundtrack” to the parts clients never see: coordinating surveys/sea trials, lining up shipwrights and electricians, and making sure a boat is properly prepped so it sells fast (when it’s priced right, that’s often inside four weeks). It reminds me that my job isn’t just selling a boat – it’s protecting an asset and taking the overwhelm out of ownership.

12. “9 to 5” by Dolly Parton

The next song comes from Renee Kemper, Digital Marketing Director at Element Associates. She chose the classic “9 to 5” by Dolly Parton as the track that best reflects her work. Here is what Renee says about why she associates this song with her work:

“9 to 5” by Dolly Parton is my work song, because it’s the most honest soundtrack for building two things at once: other people’s brands by day, and my own restaurant by night. It’s upbeat, but it’s also about grit – show up, solve problems, repeat.

At Element Associates, I’ve had plenty of “late-night launch” moments where a site or campaign had to be clean, fast, and story-driven by morning for brands like Little House on the Prairie or Molly’s Suds. The song reminds me that good digital work isn’t magic – it’s a hundred small, unglamorous decisions that make the big creative look effortless.

Running Yankabilly Smokehouse since 2019 made that lesson personal: you can’t “strategy” your way out of burnt ends or a slow Tuesday without doing the work. The overlap is real – same discipline, same customer empathy, just different tools (and more smoke).

13. “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles

The next song was shared by Gavin Cook, Managing Director at Vizona. He associates his work with the uplifting classic “Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles. Here is what Gavin says about why he connects this song with his work:

“Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles hits home for me as Managing Director of Vizona, where we’ve lit up Australia’s public spaces since 2018 with sustainable solutions.

The song mirrors our shift to solar lighting – supplying 105 solar poles for the Kemerton Lithium Plant and over 100 for a remote resource project’s security perimeter, meeting strict dark sky standards under 2500K.

Those projects beat cabling challenges in vast areas, cutting emissions and costs while boosting community facilities like Docker River’s off-grid lights – proving resilience builds lasting infrastructure.

14. “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire

The next song comes from Allison Andrews, Director of Sales & Marketing at Limitless Limo & Party Bus. She associates her work with the timeless hit “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire. Here is what Allison says about why she connects this song with her work:

It’s the song that takes me back to coordinating wedding-day transportation at Limitless Limo in Columbus – when you’re juggling a tight timeline, multiple pickup points, and a full party bus, you need something that instantly resets the room’s energy.

I’m the one writing our website content, email newsletters, and social posts, but I also hear the real-world feedback from couples and chauffeurs. I’ve watched that one track flip the vibe on the ride from “pre-ceremony nerves” to “we’ve got this,” and it reliably turns into a group singalong that makes the best candid photos.

It also reminds me to build experiences in “phases,” the same way I recommend building a wedding playlist: upbeat pre-ceremony, romantic right after “I do,” then high-energy into the reception. That structure is basically how I plan marketing outreach too – warm-up, emotional proof, then the clear call-to-action.

15. “Takin’ Care of Business” by Bachman-Turner Overdrive

The next song was shared by Phil Cocciante, Owner of Contractors License Guru. He associates his work with the classic rock anthem “Takin’ Care of Business” by Bachman-Turner Overdrive. Here is what Phil says about why he connects this song with his work:

“Takin’ Care of Business” by Bachman-Turner Overdrive is the definitive anthem for my office. It perfectly mirrors the high-energy push of moving a contractor’s application from a “denied” status to “issued” in under an hour.

After five years as a CSLB technician and two decades in the trades, I’ve seen thousands of contractors stuck in bureaucratic limbo. This song captures the exact moment a client calls me after a year of struggle, and we finally get their license number active in just thirty minutes.

It represents the hard-earned transition from a four-year journey-level grind to the professional freedom of legal entrepreneurship. Hearing it reminds me of the stress leaving a client’s voice when they realize they can finally pull permits and bid on jobs over $500.

16. “Started From the Bottom” by Drake

The next song comes from Jake Bunston, Founder and Owner of Make Fencing. He associates his work with “Started From the Bottom” by Drake. Here is what Jake says about why he connects this song with his work:

For me, it’s “Started From the Bottom” by Drake. I remember playing it on a busted Bluetooth speaker during one of our first big commercial boundary installs – crew of two, post-hole digger breaking down mid-job, client breathing down our necks. That track just captured exactly where we were: scrapping for every win.

What made that job stick wasn’t the stress – it was that we finished ahead of schedule anyway. That moment taught me that showing up and delivering, even when everything’s fighting against you, is what builds a reputation. Word spread from that one job and it genuinely unlocked bigger contracts for us.

Now when I hear it, I don’t think about Drake. I think about Kallum hauling materials in the rain and the version of Make Fencing we were building from nothing. Seven years on, that same hunger still drives how we train the team and handle every site.

17. “Where I Wanna Be” by Donell Jones

The next song was shared by Ryan Oliver, Owner of The Break Downtown. He associates his work with “Where I Wanna Be” by Donell Jones. Here is what Ryan says about why he connects this song with his work:

It was on repeat during the long, unglamorous stretch of building The Break Downtown into the kind of neighborhood sports bar that can handle a full room when a Jazz game lets out across the street at the Delta Center – then still deliver consistent food, drinks, and service.

That song reminds me that hospitality is a lot of choices: staying on the floor when it’s slammed, keeping standards when you’re tired, and building a culture where guests feel known. When we remodeled, I used it as a mental reset – if the vibe isn’t welcoming, people don’t care how many TVs you have.

One concrete thing it ties to for me is training: I’d rather run one clean play than ten flashy ones. We focused on repeatable execution – wings done right (16 flavors), signature mac n’ cheese, and quick, friendly service – because game-day crowds don’t forgive inconsistency.

18. “Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac

The next song was shared by Ben Read, Co-founder and COO of Mercha. He associates his work with the classic “Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac. Here is what Ben says about why he connects this song with his work:

“Go Your Own Way” by Fleetwood Mac is the anthem of my transition from corporate roles at Citi and Visa to the unpredictable world of sustainable startups. It captures the grit needed to build Mercha into a platform trusted by major brands like Amazon and TikTok.

We treat music as a productivity tool because it is proven to increase serotonin and lower cortisol, directly supporting the 21% higher profitability found in highly engaged teams. This atmosphere helps us curate quality, eco-conscious gear that is designed to be “worn out, not thrown out” by employees at companies like Uber and Allianz.

Whether I’m off-grid in the Colorado wilderness or grinding at HQ, I’m usually using our SkullCandy Riff Wireless Headphones to stay in the zone. These headphones are a staple in our custom merch packs, helping new hires feel an immediate, high-tech connection to our brand culture from day one.

19. “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor

The next song comes from Lena Gershenov, Founder of Petsncharge LLC. She associates her work with the empowering anthem “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor. Here is what Lena says about why she connects this song with her work:

“I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor blasts through my playlist whenever I’m tackling a massive cat rescue project.

As a certified Cat Behaviorist & Trainer with hands-on experience since the 1970s – including rehabilitating feral cats and building 523 shelters – it echoes the grit I needed after losing my home to an oil spill and my husband, yet still expanding our food pantry and TNR supplies nationwide via Pets N Charge.

This song fuels late nights training quirky cats for pet shows or blogging real-life tips, reminding me that persistence turns chaos into harmony for pets and their people.

20. “Every Breath You Take” by The Police

The next song was shared by William DiAntonio, Founder and CEO of Brand911. He associates his work with the classic “Every Breath You Take” by The Police. Here is what William says about why he connects this song with his work:

I associate “Every Breath You Take” by The Police with my decade spent as a private investigator and my 12 years in financial fraud detection. It reflects the relentless, detail-oriented mindset required to monitor digital footprints and protect professional credibility in a world that is always watching.

In my reputation work, I’ve seen how one negative search result can dismantle a decade of career milestones in an instant. This song serves as a reminder that your online presence is 24/7 surveillance, which is why I prioritize proactive, search-optimized brand building over simple damage control.

My investigative background drives the strategy at Brand911, where we treat a client’s online visibility like a high-stakes case. We dig deep to identify roadblocks and craft an authentic narrative that is not only easy to find, but impossible to ignore.

21. “Work by” Rihanna feat Drake

The next song comes from Frank Heijdenrijk, Co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer at WoopSocial. He associates his work with “Work” by Rihanna featuring Drake. Here is what Frank says about why he connects this song with his work:

The song that always takes me back to the grind of building our social media platform is “Work” by Rihanna featuring Drake. That driving beat and the repeated work work work line capture those endless nights fine-tuning automation rules testing content repurposing flows and watching organic growth happen without relying on ads.

As someone who has spent years helping small businesses and creators reclaim their time I remember one clear win when a user cut their weekly social media work from twelve hours down to under two while growing their audience by forty-seven percent purely through consistent repurposed threads and scheduled posting. It proved the power of smart systems over constant manual effort.

The real takeaway is simple automate the repetitive stuff so you can focus on creating value that actually connects with people. Work smart not forever.

22. “Ride Like the Wind” by Christopher Cross

The next song was shared by Daniel Victor, Founder and CEO of SYPS. He associates his work with the classic “Ride Like the Wind” by Christopher Cross. Here is what Daniel says about why he connects this song with his work:

The song that I think I associate most with my work as a founder and CEO is “Ride Like the Wind” by Christopher Cross. There’s a sense of looking ahead at the horizon in the song that perfectly mirrors my  entrepreneurial journey. The constant momentum and unknown of the open road, the calculated risk and exhaustive effort of “being on the run with no time to sleep”, and the feeling that you’re chasing something just ahead of you. Building my company, SYPS, often feels like I’m white nuckling the handle bars, or at other times barley holding on, as I fly full speed toward an ambitious vision knowing that hesitation can mean losing ground.

As a founder, I’ve experienced the highs of product launches and the pressure of tight deadlines, supply chain challenges, and critical pitches. “Ride Like the Wind” captures the blend of urgency and optimism in a way that looks like pushing forward even when the path isn’t fully clear and running from an impending doom if I let off the gas. It reminds me that progress requires movement, resilience, and belief in the destination, even when you’re still navigating the terrain.

23. “One Day Like This” by Elbow

The next song comes from Robert Jandy, Executive Producer & Licensee of TEDx Railway Village and Director of Lines of Connection CIC. He associates his work with “One Day Like This” by Elbow. Here is what Robert says about why he connects this song with his work:

The song that reminds me most of my work is “One Day Like This” by Elbow. I organise and co-host TEDx Railway Village in Swindon, where people from very different backgrounds step forward to share ideas and stories that matter. In the months leading up to the event there’s a huge amount of preparation, but the real magic happens in the few seconds before someone walks onto the stage.

I often stand just offstage with the speaker at that moment. You can feel the nerves, the excitement and the sense that something meaningful is about to happen. When the audience settles and the lights come up, it’s like the lyric from the song  “throw those curtains wide.” Suddenly the room opens up and one person’s idea becomes something shared.

That feeling of a day where people connect, listen and leave inspired is exactly what “One Day Like This” captures for me. It reminds me why we create spaces where anyone can step forward and share something extraordinary.

24. “Where the Streets Have No Name” by U2

The next song comes from Monte Albers de Leon, Screenwriter and Attorney at The Parables. He associates his work with the iconic “Where the Streets Have No Name” by U2. Here is what Monte says about why he connects this song with his work:

The song I keep coming back to for my work is U2’s Where the Streets Have No Name — and if you know it, you already understand why.

It doesn’t start with an answer. It starts with a build. All that anticipation before a single word is sung — that’s the feeling I’m always chasing. The moment just before the structure gives way and something true breaks through.

I spent years in law doing the opposite of that – keeping the structure intact, making sure the rules held, making sure people didn’t wander into territory that would cost them. And somewhere in that work I realized the most interesting stories live exactly there – at the edge of the map. Where the discipline ends and the chaos begins.

That song is about wanting to go somewhere undefined. Somewhere the old markers don’t apply and you have to figure out who you are without them. That tension – between the world that has rules and the world that doesn’t – is what I return to in everything I write, and if I’m being honest, everything I’ve ever argued.

The real story is never in what’s said. It’s in what people reach for when the ground shifts under them.
That’s the work. On both sides of it.

25. “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” From “Fiddler On The Roof”

The next song comes from Sharon Melamed, Founder and Managing Director of Matchboard. She associates her work with the classic show tune “Matchmaker, Matchmaker” from “Fiddler on the Roof”. Here is what Sharon says about why she connects this song with her work:

I’m the Founder and Managing Director of Matchboard, an award-winning Australian business matchmaking platform. It may come as no surprise that the song from Fiddler on the Roof, “Matchmaker, Matchmaker”, resonates most strongly! Although it was written more than 60 years ago, long before the Internet and dating sites were invented, it still translates into the modern age. We help companies find their perfect match service provider through our matching algorithm backed by a human concierge service.

Songs About Work: The Soundtrack of Our Daily Grind, Final Thoughts:

As you can see, the songs people connect with their work are as diverse as the jobs they do. From high-energy anthems like “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor and “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen to reflective tracks like “Where the Streets Have No Name” by U2, each song tells a story about motivation, perseverance, and the personal meaning behind daily work.

These choices show that work is not just about tasks and deadlines – it’s about passion, resilience, creativity, and the moments that make the effort worthwhile. Music becomes a companion, helping people focus, celebrate achievements, and navigate challenges.
