Cute Song Rankings [2026] (11–20)
I want to be lovedYumcha11rank/position
A smash hit that took TikTok and other social media by storm in 2025, “Aisaretai.” Composed by Yumcha, this track became her biggest hit, and it’s wrapped up in an irresistibly catchy melody from start to finish.
While the tune is bright, the lyrics carry a distinctly dark, troubled edge—but that contrast between melody and lyric actually makes it addictive.
The vocals throughout are adorably styled.
Although the pitch movement can be somewhat dramatic, the overall range isn’t wide, so as long as you identify the right key, it should be perfectly singable.
Rather than matching the overall key to what’s easiest to sing, we recommend adjusting the key with a focus on how comfortably you can hit the highest notes.
Specially, do it.=LOVE12rank/position

=LOVE is an idol group produced by Rino Sashihara.
The group’s name is read as “Equal Love.” They embody the classic idol style Sashihara honed in AKB and HKT, and all their songs project a traditional sense of femininity.
Among them, “Tokubechu, Shite” is a number packed with cuteness.
The highest note is hi F, but that’s in the harmony; the actual highest note sits at hi D#.
As long as the key is adjusted, women in their teens through their 30s should have no trouble singing it.
Combined with its cute lyrics, it tends to be well-received by men, so it should be a hit at mixers and similar gatherings.
Definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.
Love CirculationHanazawa Kana13rank/position

Kana Hanazawa, who is active mainly as a voice actress and singer, has a soft, cute voice.
She does a lot of anime voice acting, and her very distinctive tone leaves an impact even when you’re hearing a song for the first time.
“Ren’ai Circulation” is one of her signature songs, released in 2010.
It expresses a mischievous, tomboyish feeling in words, with moments of rhyme that give it a rap-like vibe, yet it’s somehow soothing.
If you sing this adorably charming song with a hint of shyness, it can make men feel like they want to protect you—so why not aim for that and give it a try?
First Love Killernozomi14rank/position

A song that paints the bittersweet romance of student days, the kind that makes your heart tighten.
Nozomi’s vocals brilliantly capture both the ache and joy of first love.
Released in May 2024, it became a big topic on TikTok.
The feelings of being swept up in a first crush and chasing the one you like despite opposition from those around you have resonated with listeners.

Sing it at karaoke, and you’ll surely feel your desire for romance grow.
