Danceability: The danceability of a song is driven by a variety of musical aspects, including pace, rhythm stability, beat power, and overall regularity.
Energy: A measure ranging from 0.0 to 1.0 that represents a perceptual measure of intensity and activity. Typically, energetic tracks have a fast, loud, and noisy feel to them.
Valence : Tracks with a high valence sound more positive (for example, happy, cheerful, and euphoric), whereas tracks with a low valence sound more negative (e.g. sad, depressed, angry).
Tempo : Tempo is the speed or pace of a piece in musical terms, and it is derived directly from the average beat duration.
