About 110 BPM
110 BPM is a Moderato tempo, a little under two beats a second and right in the middle of the usable range. It is brisk enough to feel like steady forward motion without tipping into dance-floor speed. The tempo sits between a relaxed groove and an upbeat one, which is why it turns up across so many styles without belonging to any single genre.

110 BPM carries a lot of mid-tempo pop, rock, and country, where it keeps a song moving without rushing the vocal. It also appears in older hip-hop, reggae, and some house tracks on the slower side. The steady mid-tempo feel makes it comfortable to play and sing over.
