The song included on Michelle Branch’s debut album, The Spirit Room, is a pop-rock masterpiece themed around young love.

Lyrics like “When I close my eyes, all I see is you” beautifully capture a sense of longing.

12 on the Billboard Hot 100.

It’s a great choice for karaoke—perfect for a girls’ night out with friends or when you want to share your feelings in front of someone you like.

Chappell Roan – The Subway (Official Music Video)

It’s a song that really builds up toward the second half.

In the first half, the chorus goes up to D5, but it’s not a section where you should belt, so aim for an airy, gentle delivery.

The tempo isn’t fast, so it’s easier if you learn it melody by melody.

If you’re not used to using falsetto, practice humming so you can switch smoothly between chest voice and falsetto.

In the first half, try projecting your voice upward, resonating in the area between the eyebrows or the head to create a light, open sound.

In the second half, the resonance gets a bit stronger, so direct the sound downward and resonate in the chest to bring out more power.

Try speaking or singing with a hand on your chest—you’ll feel strong vibrations there—then sing while focusing on that resonance!

Close To YouCarpenters80rank/position

[They Long To Be] Close To You

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

This song is a love ballad depicting a woman pining for someone, and it was released in the 1970s.

Musically, it’s quintessential pop—crafted with a light, gentle melody.

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

You can perform it in the style of the original, of course, but a more downbeat, soft-spoken delivery—like Billie Eilish’s—also sounds compelling.

Feel free to use that as a reference.

LIFETIMESKaty Perry81rank/position

Katy Perry – LIFETIMES

Katy Perry is a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her powerful vocals and musicality.

If you have even a slight interest in Western pop music, you’ve probably encountered her songs.

Among her tracks, the one I especially recommend is “LIFETIMES.” It blends Italo house with pop dance, creating a very refreshing feel, while the vocal line is surprisingly restrained.

Since the vocal range is narrow, if you pay attention to the initial phrasing, you can make it sound pretty convincing.

Kelly Rowland – Like This (Official Video – Clean) ft. Eve

This is a love song by Kelly Rowland, characterized by a sound approach that highlights her rich, full-bodied vocals and a classic rhythm-and-blues style track.

Its smooth composition makes it a song you’ll want to sing at karaoke, and it’s also recommended for teenage girls.

If We Hold On TogetherDiana Ross84rank/position

If We Hold On Together

If you can manage vibrato, I highly recommend “If We Hold On Together.” This song is sung by the globally popular artist Diana Ross, and because her singing style sticks to the basics, it’s surprisingly easy to sing.

The lyrics are on the shorter side, so there are quite a few long notes.

However, there aren’t any shouty phrases, so you shouldn’t run out of breath very often.

If you’re at least a little confident in your singing, definitely give it a try!
