[Karaoke] Famous Western songs everyone knows! Easy-to-sing foreign songs (11–20)
Stay With MeSam Smith
A beautiful ballad that gives voice to aching emotions became a signature song for the U.K.-born Sam Smith.
Featuring gospel-tinged choruses and lyrics that resonate deeply, it portrays the loneliness that follows a one-night encounter.
Released in the U.S.
in April 2014, it reached No.
2 on the Billboard Hot 100.
At the 57th Grammy Awards, it won two categories, catapulting Sam Smith to global fame.
It’s a song that comforts anyone who has experienced heartbreak or longs for someone’s warmth.
In August 2024, a collaborative version with Hikaru Utada was also released, showcasing a fresh appeal.
My Heart Will Go OnCéline Dion
Since it’s the theme song of Titanic, there are probably no adults who don’t know this track.
And because it’s so famous, it remains a karaoke staple even now.
Some people deliberately avoid singing it precisely because it’s so well-known, but that’s a mistake—this song truly shines when you sing it.
PayphoneMaroon 5 (Marūn Faibu)
It’s a smash hit by a group that grew into one of America’s signature rock bands.
The song is quite famous, so even people who don’t seem into Western music might know it.
The melody is great, too, so I’m sure it’ll get everyone more hyped than you expect.
IT’S MY LIFEBon Jovi
This hard rock band has been popular around the world for many years, and they’re just as popular in Japan.
This song is truly one of their signature hits—even if you don’t know Bon Jovi, I think you know this track.
If you want to get the crowd going at karaoke, this is a surefire choice.
We Will Rock YouQueen
Included on their sixth album, News of the World, “We Will Rock You” is known as one of Queen’s signature songs.
Created so the audience could take part, its ensemble of just handclaps and foot stomps is simple yet tremendously impactful.
With its narrow vocal range and minimal dynamics, it’s perfect as an entry point to Western pop music.
It’s a massive hit that, when sung at karaoke, is sure to get everyone joining in for a rousing sing-along.
Don’t Stop Me NowQueen
I don’t think there’s any band as popular in Japan as Queen.
Their music is constantly reaching people at home through TV commercials and drama theme songs.
This track is, of course, hugely famous, and thanks to its catchy, familiar lines, it’s also a big hit at karaoke.

The First NoelPentatonix
Many of you may already know the original song, which comes from the traditional English Christmas carol “The First Nowell / The First Noel.” Pentatonix focuses on a cappella harmonies, making both the lead melody and the harmony parts easy to hear, and their singing seems to flow straight into the heart.
Some of you might be practicing a cappella for the Christmas season, right? Since a cappella relies on singing in perfect sync, I think it’s best to memorize the lyrics completely.
Of course, singing it solo at karaoke also creates a great atmosphere! Rather than singing it in a flowing manner, if you deliver each phrase carefully and with feeling, it becomes a very compelling piece—so sing it with confidence!
