Examples of Upbeat in a Sentence

1. William Stofega:

   The upbeat messages — it's nice to hear, but then when you're struggling, if you have a cutback at your job, there's always that bleed-over and that could dull the reception, the thing that garners the most attention, obviously, is the iPhone and some of the media products, but... it can be a little excessive after a while.

2. Andreas Bilicki:

   Doppel, as it stands, delivers two separate rhythms -- one high and one low. The high rhythm essentially delivers a rhythm which is higher than your resting heartbeat, and the lower one which is lower. And it works in a very similar way as to when you listen to upbeat or downbeat music. So, in the same way that upbeat music can excite you or bring you up, make you more alert; doppel does this. And it does the same thing with the downbeat tempo which you feel calming you down and even helping you into sleep.

3. Mark Hinshaw:

   The mood in town is very upbeat. It's busy with people and you can just feel the positive energy, it's all moving full steam ahead.

4. Blythe Danner:

   She always has a good spin on things, and I admire her tenacity and her upbeat message.

5. Douglas Hercher:

   2021 is certainly going to feel more upbeat than 2020 did, but I think there will also be some disappointment, if people are thinking Times Square, by the summer, is going to look like Times Square we all know and love, that's probably not going to be the case.
