Karaoke songs in Western music recommended for middle schoolers (21–30)
Uptown Funk ft. Bruno MarsMark Ronson
Since its release, this smash hit has become almost unavoidable at events where young people gather.
Even if the song is difficult to sing, its upbeat vibe makes it easy for everyone to get hyped together at karaoke.
It’s familiar even to middle schoolers, who hear it in commercials and various other contexts.
AcapulcoJason Derulo
Jason Derulo is an artist who, in addition to being a singer-songwriter, is also highly praised for his dance performances.
He’s been active since the 2000s, and he’s still at the forefront of the scene today.
Among his works, the song I especially recommend for junior high school students is Acapulco.
It’s dance music close to genres like reggaeton and soca, so I think it’ll really get you moving.
Dancing Feet ft. DNCEKygo
Kygo is a music producer whose upbeat musicality has earned him a global fanbase.
As one of Norway’s leading producers, he has been active since the late 2000s and is hugely popular in genres like tropical house and progressive house.
Among his works, a track I especially recommend is “Dancing Feet ft.
DNCE.” With its refreshingly summery sound, it’s perfect for listening during summer vacation.
Don’t Be ShyTiësto & Karol G
In 2022, one of the most active music producers has been Tiësto.
He’s released many hit songs over the years, but his output since 2022 has been remarkable.
One of his hits is “Don’t Be Shy,” a collaboration with Colombia’s leading female singer, Karol G, which has an overall Amazonian vibe.
If you’re a middle school student who likes dance music, be sure to check it out.
FireworkKaty Perry
One of Katy Perry’s signature songs.
Because the title means “fireworks,” it’s often heard in Japan during the summer.
Katy Perry has fans all over the world and is especially popular with younger generations, so many Japanese middle schoolers are fans as well.
It has a great sense of rhythm, and the chorus is easy to imitate after just one listen, making it easy to sing.
SeptemberEarth, Wind & Fire
It’s a bit from the older generation, but it’s still a dance number heard in many settings today.
The chorus features a phrase everyone has heard, making it familiar across generations.
Since most of the lyrics are simple words to pronounce, it’s easy to use as a learning material, and with a bit of practice, even junior high school students who have just started learning English can sing it right away.
On Our WayThe Royal Concept
An upbeat anthem that’s also played inside USJ.
With lyrics about youth and togetherness, it’s perfect for junior high schoolers.
The catchy, bright chorus makes it easy for anyone to get pumped even if they don’t understand the words, so it’s a great pick for middle schoolers who just want to have fun at karaoke.
