Step 1: Call 911

Songs with 100-120 beats per minute can help a person keep the correct pace while deeply pressing. The American Heart Association recently added Taylor Swift’s “The Man” to the top songs to help practitioners keep pace.

Here is our list of the top songs to pace your hands-only CPR:
“The Man” – Taylor Swift
“Stayin’ Alive” – the Bee Gees
“Crazy in Love” – Beyonce feat Jay-Z
“Hips Don’t Lie” – Shakira
“Walk the Line” – Johnny Cash
