Karaoke songs in Western music that are easy for women in their 20s to sing

We often go to karaoke in various situations—among friends, at work, with a boyfriend—but choosing songs is always a dilemma, isn’t it?

Especially if you don’t want to sing the same songs as always, and ideally you want stylish, cool tracks that help you stand out from the crowd.

For you, we’ve put together a list of 30 recommended Western songs.

This time, we’re focusing especially on how easy they are to sing.

Karaoke songs in Western music that are easy for women in their 20s to sing (41–50)

If you’re confident in your dynamics, I recommend “Cups.” At first, you might think it’s just a typical pop song, but surprisingly, it’s actually country music.

Country songs often tend to be fairly simple and don’t require much dynamic variation, but this track can sound sloppy without good dynamics, so be careful.

Even if you can’t do vibrato, you can get away with it by nicely fading out the ends of phrases.

It’s not an extremely easy song, but give it a try!

Ariana Grande is a female singer-songwriter who’s always at the forefront of the scene.

Early on, she set herself apart with her high tones, including her whistle register, but lately her downbeat, realistic lyrics have been especially striking.

Among her songs, the one I particularly recommend is “we can’t be friends.” While it’s on the slightly higher side, it doesn’t have an extremely wide vocal range, so you should be able to sing it smoothly if you adjust the key.

It’s a synthwave-style track that doesn’t place heavy emphasis on advanced vocal techniques like runs or hiccups, so definitely consider adding it to your repertoire.

Ariana Grande, a female singer who is extremely popular in Japan.

Her distinctly feminine high-tone voice and looks are part of her appeal, and she has dropped numerous hit tunes using them as her weapons.

Among her songs, the one I particularly recommend is “we can’t be friends (wait for your love).” As this work is primarily synth-pop, the vocal lines are simple throughout.

While techniques like slight ad-libs and falls appear, the pitch movement is gentle, so for a recent track, it can be considered relatively easy to sing.

The hugely popular artist Avril Lavigne.

Her musical style—adding punk elements to poppy melodies—is really striking, isn’t it? All of her songs are built on simple melodies, and “Girlfriend” is no exception; it’s a very easy song to sing.

Even if you’re not good at vibrato, this song still works pretty well, so it’s great for beginners.

If you want it to sound even better, try cutting off the ends of phrases with a tossed-off feel.

Deliberately go for a rough, edgy singing style!

BIRDS OF A FEATHERBillie Eilish

Billie Eilish, a female singer-songwriter who’s also very popular in Japan.

Since the hit of “bad guy,” many of you are probably still following her, right? Among her works, the one I especially recommend is “BIRDS OF A FEATHER.” This track has a somewhat fantastical, dream-pop-like feel.

The pitch movement is gentle, and it’s easy to catch the rhythm.

The scale runs near the end of the chorus—almost like ad-libbed embellishments—are a bit tricky, so if you really can’t manage that part, it’s perfectly fine to use karaoke auto-tune to gloss over it.

bad guyBillie Eilish

The worldwide hit song “bad guy.” It’s Billie Eilish’s signature track.

If you know it, you’ll already be aware that this song has no long tones, no vibrato, no high parts, and no shouting.

In other words, it’s a kind, easy-to-sing song that lets you sound cool just by nailing the vibe (lol).

Basically, as long as you can pronounce the English properly, anyone can sing it well.

But! If you want to make it sound even cooler, try singing it with intensity—mix in some shouts with a thicker voice, okay? If you can pull that off, you’re basically at a pro level.

Britney Spears’s hit song “…Baby One More Time.” Compared to the other songs introduced here, this one is a bit more difficult, but if you’re confident in your lower range, you should be able to sing it with ease.

Genre-wise, it probably leans closest to R&B… Wait, isn’t R&B hard? If that’s what you’re thinking—don’t worry.

While this song features many R&B-style phrases, it doesn’t include any of the “runs” (vocal embellishments) commonly used in R&B! So it’s actually fairly easy to sing.

That said, the lyrics are sparse, which makes it harder to cover up mistakes.

If you still want a way to fudge it a bit, try incorporating edge voice—a technique where you slightly constrict your throat while singing.
