We all have those songs that can put us in a good mood as soon as we hit play. You know, those songs that never fail to make us bust a move and take our minds off the stresses of life. But, what exactly constitutes a “feel-good” song? Well, British electronics firm Alba made it their mission to find out.

Alba took a poll of songs people thought were the best feel-good tunes and contacted neuroscientist Dr. Jacob Jolij to provide a science-backed formula for the perfect track. Dr. Jolij concluded that although you can’t use math to measure such a thing, there’s no denying these feel-good songs shares lots of similarities. These hits were deemed the best feel-good songs of all time — and you’re going to want to make a playlist!
