[2026 Edition] Western Songs That Are Cool If You Can Sing! — From the Latest Hits to Classics (21–30)
As It WasHarry Styles
One Direction was a boy group that was hugely active in the 2010s, and I think many women in Japan were fans.
Harry Styles is one of the members of One Direction, and since the group is currently on hiatus, he’s been active as a solo artist.
As It Was is one of his hit songs, released in 2022.
Because it incorporates synth-pop, a genre that was trendy in the 1980s, if you can sing this song well, you can create both an emotional vibe and a cool vibe.
Bad HabitsEd Sheeran
Ed Sheeran’s hit song “Bad Habits.” Many people probably associate Ed Sheeran with catchy, acoustic tracks.
In fact, that’s what he had mainly been releasing up to that point, but with this song he began incorporating synth-pop, a trend from the 1980s.
While retaining contemporary phrasing, the overall musical style is shaped into something reminiscent of the ’80s, giving it a uniquely cool edge.
If you can sing it well, it’ll look pretty cool, don’t you think?
Left And Right (feat. Jung Kook of BTS)Charlie Puth
“Left And Right (feat.
Jung Kook of BTS)” is a catchy pop number by American singer-songwriter Charlie Puth featuring Jung Kook from the internationally famous K-pop group BTS.
For karaoke, the key is to sing gently while exhaling slightly more strongly so a faint breathiness comes through.
If you’re singing with a friend, try splitting the parts between the two of you—it makes it easier and more fun, so give it a shot!
DesireCalvin Harris, Sam Smith
This track is marked by a comfortable mid-tempo groove.
Crafted by Scotland’s Calvin Harris and the UK’s own Sam Smith, it was released in July 2023.
As their first collaboration in five years, anticipation was high even before the release.
Reuniting after their 2018 success with “Promises,” the two have teamed up once again.
The song brims with a passionate desire to set off on a faraway journey, gripping listeners from start to finish.
It’s a perfect end-of-summer tune that even those unfamiliar with English or not confident at karaoke can fully enjoy.
Lost CauseBillie Eilish
Billie Eilish, the American singer-songwriter who always energizes the scene with stylish tracks.
Many people probably got to know her through her 2019 smash hit, “bad guy.” She kept releasing hits in 2021 as well, and among them, the especially cool track was “Lost Cause.” It features a quiet beat with downer-style vocals, creating an overall languid mood.
If you can pull it off, it’ll definitely sound cool, and there’s plenty of room for arranging it your own way—so why not try singing it in your own style?
ShiversEd Sheeran
Ed Sheeran, the singer-songwriter who represents the UK—many of you may have discovered him through the massive hit Shape of You, right? Shivers is one of his standout tracks, brilliantly blending a poppy, catchy side with a stylish edge.
Starting with the preceding release Bad Habits, he began shifting toward an electro-pop and synth-pop–driven style, so it looks like we can expect more and more cool tracks from him going forward.
Uptown Funk ft. Bruno MarsMark Ronson
A song I’d like to introduce as a surefire crowd-pleaser is “Uptown Funk ft.
Bruno Mars.” Many of you have probably heard it in commercials and the like.
The track was produced by DJ Mark Ronson, with vocals by Bruno Mars.
The song’s theme is basically about hitting the town and having fun with girls.
The melody keeps the energy high from start to finish, so the key is to sing it boldly without being shy.
It’s also perfect for singing loudly with friends!
