[2026] A Compilation of Cool Western Songs That Hype Up Karaoke (31–40)
bad guyBillie Eilish
Billie Eilish’s smash hit “bad guy,” which took the world by storm in 2019, might strike some people as a very downbeat song that could be hard to get excited about.
It’s true that, in terms of a straightforward melodic punch, it might not be the most rousing choice for karaoke.
However, given how massively popular it is, it’s actually a great song for getting everyone involved and singing along.
Try belting out the “Duh” right before the chorus together with the people you’re with—it’s sure to lift the energy.
abcdefuGAYLE
Among the artists who gained popularity on TikTok in 2022, singer-songwriter GAYLE stood out with particularly remarkable success.
Despite being a teenager, her musical style is already well-formed, and along with her honest lyrics, she has garnered support from young people around the world.
In Japan as well, many people have likely heard her song “abcdefu” through TikTok and other platforms.
For those in their teens and twenties, it’s a song that almost everyone knows, so it’s sure to be a hit at karaoke.
World’s Smallest ViolinAJR
“World’s Smallest Violin” is a popular song by AJR, an American trio known as multi-instrumentalists who can play a wide range of instruments.
The song became famous thanks to its music video on YouTube, so even if you go to karaoke with friends who don’t usually listen to Western music, they might say, “Oh, I’ve heard this one!” once you start singing.
It’s also fun as a bit to imitate the sounds of various instruments with your voice, so it’s a great pick when you want to lighten the mood!
Do They Know It’s Christmas?Band Aid
It was recorded in November 1984 as a charity single for famine relief in Ethiopia and released the following month on December 3.
It spent five weeks at number one on the UK charts, selling over one million copies in its first week alone—an astonishing achievement.
Because the song carries a strong message, it’s worth taking the time to understand the lyrics rather than just singing it for the vibe.
It’s great fun to sing in harmony with a few people, of course, but it’s also satisfying to sing solo since there are parts you can really belt out.
Each singer in the original has their own distinctive style, but don’t worry too much about that—singing in your own voice is best! Place a hand on your chest and try singing while resonating your voice.

It’s pop-tinged alternative rock—cool yet upbeat—making it a great pick for karaoke.

She Will Be LovedMaroon 5
“She Will Be Loved” was written during a transitional period when Maroon 5 were shifting from alternative and funk rock toward a more pop-oriented sound.
As a result, the verses and pre-chorus have an alternative rock feel, while the latter part of the song is polished as pop.
It’s also an easy song for beginners to sing.
ChandelierSia
Sia, an Australian singer, has a song called “Chandelier” that’s a must-mention among popular Western tracks.
Released in 2014, it sparked buzz with its striking music video featuring dancer Maddie Ziegler.
Cloaked in an overall dark mood, the song centers on the hardships of life, and the key is to sing it with deep emotion.
In the chorus—the song’s most powerful moment—sing as if you’re releasing the sadness and helplessness welling up inside you.
