The beat to your favorite Jack Harlow song could help save a life. ❤️🎵

Maintaining an accurate tempo—about 100 beats per minute—is crucial for performing effective hands-only CPR. If someone needs CPR, call 911, then push hard and fast in the center of the chest to the beat of "Lovin on Me."

Songs for Saving Lives: CPR Playlist ▶️

While performing CPR, also known as cardiopulmonary resuscitation, it is important to keep up an accurate tempo. In the case of an emergency, there are a number of songs that can help you to know just how fast to give chest compressions to save someone’s life.
