Western songs that women like. World classics and popular hits.

Stand By MeBen E. King

Ben E. King – Stand By Me (Audio)

It’s not only popular among women; it’s such a masterpiece that it ranks among the greatest songs worldwide.

The various scenes in the film of the same title match this song perfectly.

It never seems to age, and I believe it will continue to be sung for years to come.

Bad DayDaniel Powter

Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day” was also a big hit in Japan.

It was such a beloved classic that I even remember singing it in English class.

I imagine many people related to its lyrics about a bad day—something everyone goes through—and found comfort in it.

BabyJustin Bieber

Justin Bieber – Baby ft. Ludacris

Speaking of men who vie for first or second place among women’s idols, that would be Justin.

These days he’s turned kind of wild and has been getting into all sorts of trouble, but when he debuted he was this adorable, universally popular figure.

Love The Way You AreEminem

Eminem – Love The Way You Lie ft. Rihanna

While it seems that relatively aggressive hip-hop is Eminem’s specialty, this ballad he performed with Rihanna surely deserves to be called a masterpiece.

If you know about both Eminem’s and Rihanna’s past experiences with domestic violence, you can only call it a masterpiece.

Where Is The Love?The Black Eyed Peas

The Black Eyed Peas – Where Is The Love? (Official Music Video)

In Japan, when you say a classic by the Black Eyed Peas—the group that had a huge hit with Boom Boom Pow—I think of this song! It’s a wonderful track that I strongly recommend.

Lately, there’s been talk about Fergie leaving, which is unsettling, but personally I hope she stays and that they keep putting out great songs together.

My AllMariah Carey

Mariah Carey – My All (Official HD Video)

This Latin-tinged ballad, released as the final single from the 1998 album “Butterfly,” became her 13th No.

1 on the U.S.

charts.

Inspired by the culture she experienced in Puerto Rico, it sets a poignant longing for a separated lover against the sound of acoustic guitar.

From whispery lows to soaring highs in the finale, Mariah Carey’s delicate vocals shine throughout.

The monochrome music video directed by Herb Ritts is equally beautiful, with seaside and lighthouse imagery that enhances the song’s sensual world.

A heart-stirring classic ballad, perfect for nights when you can’t be with the one you love.

Mariah Carey – Play This Song ft. Anderson .Paak (Official Music Video)

Should we try to rekindle a finished romance, or let it go completely? Captured as a dialogue between two voices, this track was released in September 2025 as the third single from the album “Here for It All.” It’s a duet with Anderson .Paak, marked by a groovy sound steeped in the spirit of ’70s soul and Motown.

The vivid drums, warm keys, and shimmering chimes weave a vintage texture that evokes the feel of Silk Sonic.

The conversational lyrics convey a realistic, mature relationship.

Eschewing excessive ornamentation, its design draws you in through the interplay of harmony and rhythm, the sense of space, and the underlying chord movements—perfect for deep, attentive listening.
