Gloria Estefan’s song is a masterpiece where Latin passion and pop appeal blend beautifully.

Since its 1989 release, it has captured countless hearts and never let go.

The bittersweet lyrics of love, paired with Estefan’s powerful yet delicate vocals, are sure to resonate with every listener.

It topped the U.S.

Billboard charts and became a global hit.

The lyrics’ themes—anxieties about losing someone you love and the desire to cherish a relationship—are universally relatable, regardless of age.

If you sing it at karaoke, why not pour your feelings for someone special into your performance?

Close To YouCarpenters99rank/position

Among the Carpenters’ catalog, the classic “(They Long to Be) Close to You” stands out as one of their most beloved hits.

Released in the 1970s, this love song portrays a woman pining for someone she adores.

Musically, it sits squarely in the realm of classic pop, with a brisk yet gentle melody.

The English lyrics flow smoothly, and the vocal range isn’t particularly wide, making it an easy song to sing.

You can certainly perform it in the style of the original, but a downbeat, whispery approach—like Billie Eilish’s—also sounds compelling.

Give it a try for inspiration.
