Moving Western songs recommended for junior high school students: world classics and popular hits

If We Hold On TogetherDiana Ross

Diana Ross – If We Hold On Together

This is another song so famous that we even performed it in our middle school band, and the melody is absolutely wonderful.

It’s quite old, but you can still listen to it easily today, and each word is clear and easy to understand, so I think it’s perfect for learning English.

I love its mellow, gentle tone.

It’s a song loved by people of any gender.

SorryJustin Bieber

Justin Bieber – Sorry (PURPOSE : The Movement)

This is a song by Justin Bieber, who is now incredibly popular.

He sings it casually, but the meaning carries a strong message to today’s youth.

It’s slower than I expected, so it’s easy to catch the words and feels like he’s speaking to you, which makes it a good study resource.

HeroMariah Carey

Mariah Carey – Hero (Official HD Video)

This song is very slow and gently sung, so the English lyrics are easy to catch and it’s easy to sing at karaoke.

It’s a song that even middle schoolers can sing well, and the melody is so beautiful that I listened to it over and over.

It’s my favorite song among Mariah’s.
