Mar’23, USA: Background BPM (beats per minute) and Foreground BPM are terms used to describe the tempo or speed of the music and its intended use. The higher the BPM, the faster the song.

DJs who are new to the field may not realize that all songs have more than one BPM. For example, a song's "foreground" tempo can be counted at 99 beats per minute, while the faster "background" tempo can be counted at 198 BPM, which is exactly twice the speed of the foreground BPM.

Foreground BPM music typically has a slower tempo, making it ideal for creating a relaxing atmosphere or as background music for various activities such as studying, working, or socializing. This type of music is meant to be in the foreground and is intended to be the primary focus of attention. Examples of foreground BPM music include ambient, classical, and jazz music.

On the other hand, background BPM typically has a faster tempo and is not the primary focus of attention. This music type is often used for dancing, exercising, and partying. Examples of background BPM music include pop, rock, and electronic dance music. It is worth noting that the BPM of a song is not the only factor that determines whether it is suitable for background or foreground use. Other factors, such as the style of music, the instrumentation, and the overall mood or vibe of the song, also play a major role.
