I’m a music expert… your favourite songs reveal a lot about your personality – so are you independent or flirtatious?
FAVOURITE songs reveal a lot about personality, an expert has claimed.
MUSIC expert DJ Rafe Gomez has revealed the speed of a beloved song and even it’s lyrics tell him a lot about an individual.
If a music-lover prefers slow songs, they’re likely to be incredibly confident.
While those who like faster tunes are more carefree.
He named eight songs and what personality traits they match with.
Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It) by Beyoncé is a fast-paced dance at 193 beats per minute (BPM).
Anyone who classes this as their favourite song is independent, supportive and social.
Gomez said: “As someone who values independence and holds strongly to your identity, you’re comfortable with who you are – all while being the first to support and encourage your loved ones to explore their own identities.”
Hot in Herre by Nelly is a mid-speed song, at 107 BPM.
It’s for anyone who’s flirtatious, suave and confident, Gomez claimed.
Gomez added: “Your intuitive movements on the dance floor mean others can’t take their eyes off you. You’re also charismatic and probably a bit of a flirt, thanks to your confidence.”
Anyone who chooses Just Dance by Lady Gaga, at 119 BPM, is drama-free and outgoing.
He said “you’re down to mingle” and all about “fun with the people you love”.
“Your prefer people who won’t judge your moves, but instead, cheer you on.”
Say So by Doja Cat sits at 111 BPM and anyone who dances along is “hip, trendy and articulate”.
He said: “You’re definitely the friend who’s up to date on all the latest fashion trends, and you probably spend more time on TikTok than you’d like to admit.”
Rapper 50 Cent‘s hit In Da Club is a slow-paced tune, at 90 BPM.
It’s for anyone who is “always celebrating their people”.
He added: “You’re always celebrating your people, making you the life of the party and a great friend for support.
“The most surprising thing about the people who jump up when they hear this song is that they’re actually amazing dancers by nature.”
Whitney Houston’s I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) is for more sensitive souls.
He said: “People can’t help to watch you move with such fun-loving energy. You’re definitely the kind of person who sings in the shower and you’re a sucker for rom-coms.”
If you’re fiery, impulsive and eye-catching then Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard might be your bop.
He added: “You’re self-confident in your eye-catching nature, and you can’t deny that you love the attention you seemingly always get.
“In your friend group, you’re the bold one – the type of person who can talk to anyone about anything, always chooses ‘dare’ over ‘truth’, and everyone always recalls your presence on their most memorable nights out.”
Finally, the tune of the late noughties.
I Gotta Feeling by The Black Eyed Peas is the anthem of anyone who is optimistic, lively and sincere.
It sits at a cool 128 BPM and is for anyone who might seem reserved at first but soon warms up.
He said: “Securing that Uber home is the last thing on your mind. Instead, you’re looking to keep the night as lively as possible. As for your dancing, jumping up and down is most likely your go-to.”
It comes after a bartender recently revealed what your drink order says about you.
