No matter how you feel, there is a song to suit every mood. But as lockdown brings more doom and gloom to January, we have to work even harder to pull ourselves out of the dumps.

Studies have shown that when you hear music you like the brain releases a chemical called dopamine which has a positive effect on your mood.

So, turn up the music, whack out the dad moves and enjoy a few minutes of happiness.

Here are seven uplifting songs to brighten your day.

Dancing Queen – ABBA
