[2026] A collection of cool Western songs that get the crowd going at karaoke (41–50)
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!
I Don’t Think That I Like HerCharlie Puth
Charlie Puth, who has been churning out smash hits one after another, included a song called “I Don’t Think That I Like Her” on his third album.
The title means, “I can’t say I like her.” In the song, he lets his imagination run wild about dating, and we see him swing between positive and negative feelings as a result.
The protagonist isn’t consistent, but that inconsistency actually makes it feel more realistic.
Try singing it while reflecting on your own experiences in love.
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.
This Is MeThe Greatest Showman Cast
This is a song used in the movie of the same name.
It powerfully expresses the courage to proudly declare “This is me,” the confidence to believe in yourself, and the determination to face difficult situations.
The lyrics aren’t particularly complex, but the song is long, so it takes a lot of practice to handle it at karaoke.
That said, if you can sing it, it’s sure to get the crowd excited, so it might be worth the challenge.
Love On TopBeyoncé
When it comes to cool international female vocalists, many people probably think of Beyoncé.
In Japan, she’s well known thanks to Naomi Watanabe’s impersonations.
Among her songs, this particular track is especially difficult to sing.
The vocal range is extremely wide, and the rhythmic phrasing is very challenging, so it’s tough to pull off unless you’re quite a skilled singer.
If you’re a confident female vocalist who likes Western music, give it a try! It’s also totally fine to lower the overall key a little so you don’t strain yourself.
Love YourselfJustin Bieber
It’s a message song written to an ex-lover.
Contrary to its upbeat-sounding title, sharp sarcasm is woven throughout the lyrics.
The overall tone is quite mellow rather than intense.
There’s even a cutting, dismissive line like, “Why don’t you just love yourself as you are?” Yet from beginning to end, the song remains chic and understated.
Cure For MeAURORA
Aurora is a singer-songwriter from Norway who has received high praise since her debut.
Her song “Cure For Me,” released in 2021, became hugely popular on TikTok and was even performed on Japanese television, so many people have likely heard it somewhere.
The song carries a message of self-acceptance and a celebration of individuality, while also embodying the strength to resist societal pressure.
It includes a supportive message for the LGBTQ+ community, emphasizing the importance of valuing your true self.
Aurora also prefers creating music with close friends, an approach that brings freshness and authenticity to her work.
While it may be challenging to recreate her cute yet mysterious vocals at karaoke, try enjoying it in your own way by incorporating the distinctive choreography showcased in the music video!
