Motivation song: just one lap.

Can’t get going? Don’t commit to the whole thing. Commit to one song. Work, clean or move until it ends, and the lap is yours. Then decide on one more.

Is this music free to use?

Yes. Free with credit on all social media platforms (YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Twitch, Facebook, X…) and in livestreams, under CC BY 4.0. Please don’t upload it, or remixes, samples or covers of it, to music streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube Music.

Who makes the music?

Purrple Cat, a solo lofi project that started in December 2018. 500+ songs, 500M+ streams and 425K followers.

Are the songs instrumental?

Almost all are. Dreaming of You, Memories have vocals and are marked VOCALS wherever they appear.

How were the songs picked?

By sound, not by title. Each song was scored with Spotify-style audio features (energy, positivity, groove and tempo) against every Purrple Cat song, and the most energetic, upbeat ones made the start list. Only the first song of each event is chosen for its title too.
