Why this music works: Car buying is a major purchase for most people so the music must instill a feeling of confidence and positivity in the brand while still giving a sense of playfulness and fun (especially true for smaller cars). Car brands often want to accentuate the feeling of Individuality and will use music to provide a sense of style, while still being rooted in trust and dependability. Due to the International nature of the advertising instrumentals are often the preferred option unless the song lyrics back up the campaign or name of the car, e.g. ‘Renegade’ used for the Chrysler Renegade.
