I have that one song. You have that one song. We all have that one song. Some people have more than one song (that's okay!). What is the one song that gets you fired up?
For me, if I'm diggin' some alternative, it's Sleigh Bells' "Infinity Guitars." If I need to hear some nice hip-hop to get my workout going, my go-to is Kanye West's "Power." If I need some EDM in my life, I go with this amended version of Lana Del Ray's "Summertime Sadness." As far as song in movies go, John William's composition of "Battle of the Heroes" does it for me!
As a bonus, my good friend @GraceFitbit reminded me how good the year 2005 was, and went with Beyoncé's Crazy In Love .
Above all else, there is the one song that gets me ready to work hard and reach for the improbable. It is one of the most popular songs in the history of the world, and universally one of the most motivating. I am speaking, of course of Ludwig Van Beethoven's "5th Symphony in C Minor."
Now that you have an idea of what songs get our blood ready to flow and our hearts ready to race, we have to know- what song motivates you?

I listen mostly metal music during any kind of workout, however, I pick songs to match also the intensity of my activity. For last 2 months ( which is "since I decided to move more" ) I stick mostly with Finnish band "Battle Beast" ( not very well known, I discovered them by accident ). Even some titles of songs are motivating like "I want the world... and everything in it" or "Push it to the limits" ( this one is a cover, but quite good ) or "Let it roar" ( this one is a must for me if I do high-intensity spinning ).
