Miranda is more of an in-your-face girl, but this song is actually pretty upbeat. It’s about accepting yourself for who you are and enjoying life.

Garth was on the tail end of the first stage of his career when this son came out, but it was still an upbeat song. It’s got a really cool groove and it’s all about love.

Get the pontoon ready and let’s hit the water. Little Big Town continues to impress today with huge hits like this one.

15. Chicks Dig It – Chris Cagle
Chris Cagle was one of the original country rockers when he first came out. This song was a huge hit partly because Chris was a little wild. It’s a great song with some really upbeat outlooks on enjoying life and impressing the girls.

Alabama was all about enjoying the simple, but good life with this track. It was really something special and has held up really well over the years. Great song from the greatest band in country history.

Catchiest song of all time? It’s possible. You really can’t get more upbeat than Sugarland.

From the opening notes this song is ready to go. You can’t slow it down as it kicks through 3 minutes of nothing but great music. Clay Walker was off the races with this single and it’s still a great upbeat country song today.
2. My Kinda Party – Jason Aldean
In rock music it’s Welcome To The Jungle that is the ultimate concert opener song. For country music it doesn’t get better than My Kinda Party. Jason Aldean really brought it home with this rocking country track.
1. Chattahoochee - Alan Jackson
When things don’t work out you can just grab a snow cone and still have a good night. This song was a real treat when it came out and twenty years later we’re still loving it. Great stuff from Alan Jackson here. A truly upbeat country song.
