Their independent and take-on-the-world qualities make their music fun, and their love for love makes their music desirable. So grab a hairbrush to sing along because the following five songs are considerably some of the best country hits to dance around to that will make you feel like a professional while you belt them out in your room (with some sick dance moves, I&#8217;m sure&#8230;)<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/media.giphy.com\/media\/eCTpNcm0UAHTy\/giphy.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"393\" height=\"222\" \/><\/p>\n<h3>The Way You Love Me \u2013 Faith Hill<\/h3>\n<p><iframe title=\"Faith Hill - &quot;The Way You Love Me&quot; (Official Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/o8EamHKpdrM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Honestly, does it get any better than Faith Hill? I can\u2019t help but listen to her music and assume everything is about Tim McGraw and that makes me so happy I can hardly stand it. This song is the ultimate ode to the perfect man. This song is an accurate representation of how everyone in a relationship wants to feel. I could jump around to this song forever. Also, this video (!!!) is the greatest thing ever.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best lyric to sing-along to:<\/strong> \u201cYou\u2019re the million reasons why there\u2019s love reflecting in my eyes\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Man! I Feel Like a Woman!\u00a0\u2013\u00a0Shania Twain<\/h3>\n<p><iframe title=\"Shania Twain - Man! I Feel Like A Woman!

This song is best sung when you\u2019re driving around with all your best girlfriends. (I can\u2019t help but think of the scene in the Britney Spears movie <em>Crossroads<\/em> when Brit and friends belt this out on their road trip.) This might be the most poppy you can go and still be country. Shania really made herself known with this one. Girls just want to have fun and listen to Shania Twain and wear men\u2019s shirts and short skirts.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best lyric to sing-along to:<\/strong> \u201cThe best thing about a-bein\u2019 a woman is the prerogative to have a little fun\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Suds In The Bucket\u00a0\u2013 Sara Evans<\/h3>\n<p><iframe title=\"Sara Evans - Suds In The Bucket (Official HD Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/06o-EYH9svs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This goes out to all the girls who have thought about the perfect boy that would make them drop everything to go be with him. This story about a small town teenage girl going off to be with her love regardless of the life she\u2019s leaving behind is something that is straight from the movies. \u201cYou can\u2019t stop love,\u201d Sara sings and we all want to feel just that. The instrumental in this song provides for some necessary two-stepping and twirling around in cowboy boots.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best lyric to sing-along to:<\/strong> \u201cA little pony-tailed girl grown up to be a woman and she\u2019s gone in a blink of an eye \/ She left the suds in the bucket and the clothes hangin\u2019 out on the line\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Bye Bye\u00a0\u2013 Jo Dee Messina<\/h3>\n<p><iframe title=\"Jo Dee Messina - Bye Bye (Official Music Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iVoKkdVNSvo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>Although we love to jam out to happy, lovey songs, some of the best dance songs are the upbeat break-up ones. This one is a prime example. What\u2019s better than screaming bye bye to the one who broke your heart? Sure, the dancing and the screaming is going to make you insanely tired but you\u2019ll inevitably burn a lot of calories while doing so. Jo Dee sings about a man who just couldn\u2019t make up his mind so she does it for him. You go girl. Keep doin\u2019 you, we\u2019re all taking notes.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Best lyric to sing-along to:<\/strong> \u201cI\u2019ve lost the game I guess \/ I did my best to win the part \/ Now I\u2019m leaving here with what\u2019s left of my heart\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Kerosene\u00a0\u2013 Miranda Lambert<\/h3>\n<p><iframe title=\"Miranda Lambert - Kerosene (Official HD Video)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rB7ONnfIjaI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>This is a complete and polar opposite song from many on this list (which is good because everybody enjoys a little variety) and is so necessary for anyone who is thinking of the perfect revenge to get on the worst of the worst who didn\u2019t know how to treat you. Cheating is never ok, ok? Miranda totally gets revenge by setting this boy\u2019s house on fire. \u201cLife ain\u2019t hard but it\u2019s too long living like some country song,\u201d she sings and decides to give up on love. One would deem this an appropriate statement after having your heart broken. So, don\u2019t dance to hard to this one. (And don\u2019t set any houses on fire\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>Best lyric to sing-along to: \u201cNow I don\u2019t hate the one who left \/ You can\u2019t hate someone who\u2019s dead \/ He\u2019s out there holding on to someone \/ I\u2019m holding up my smoking gun\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This mini-playlist is guaranteed to get you in the best mood and will provide the best dance party you&#8217;ve ever had. I&#8217;ll just go ahead and say you&#8217;re welcome &#8212; YOU&#8217;RE WELCOME.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you&#8217;ve never had a hair-flipping, bed-jumping, scream-singing dance party to country music, what have you been doing with your life? 90s and early 2000s women country singers gave so much to the pop-esque country genre.
