Upbeat, cheerful (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

buoyant

This clue is a double definition.

'upbeat' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'cheerful' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for buoyant that I've seen before include "Tending to float" , "Able to float" , "Lively nineteen twenties dance" , "Floatable" , "refusing to go to bed?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
