Can't Stop the Feeling as a Walkup Song

Is "Can't Stop the Feeling" a good walkup song?

The disco production gives it natural movement — players walk to the box and the song already has them moving. Fully clean lyrics. JT's vocal energy is upbeat without being aggressive. For youth players, it hits the 'fun' note that more aggressive walkups miss.

Notable players who've used it

Can't Stop the Feeling is a youth baseball and softball staple — fully clean, instantly recognizable, fun without being silly. It's been one of the most-used Little League and travel ball walkups since release. Less common at the MLB level but ubiquitous below it.

How to trim "Can't Stop the Feeling" for a walkup

Start at 0:00, run for 18 seconds. The disco bass and JT's vocal hit immediately. Trim from zero.

The trim point is the difference between a great walkup song and a great walkup. A song's first 15-20 seconds rarely happen to be the best 15-20 seconds — most popular tracks have a build, an intro, or a bridge before the hook lands. Pick the slice that hits hardest. The last second of your trim window should land on a peak, right as the player steps into the box.

Best for

• Youth players
• Softball players
• Team intro

Clean / explicit version notes

1. Build your roster in Walkup Pro — assign "Can't Stop the Feeling" to the player who picked it
2. Scrub to 0:00 and set the trim duration to 18 seconds
