[2026 Edition] Western Songs That Are Cool If You Can Sing! From the Latest Hits to Classics (41–50)
Follow YouImagine Dragons
Imagine Dragons is a band that enjoys immense popularity in the alternative rock scene.
Active since 2008, they consistently earn high praise for their style, which blends various genres into alternative rock.
Among their works, the one I most recommend is Follow You, released in March 2021.
It’s an extremely high-voltage track with many parts meant to be sung loudly, and if a male vocalist can pull it off, it will sound incredibly cool.
HumanRag’n’Bone Man
If you’re looking for a song with a strong message, I’d like to recommend “Human.” It’s performed by the British singer-songwriter Rag’n’Bone Man.
The song conveys that humans are fragile beings, and that Rag’n’Bone Man himself is just one human like anyone else.
As you listen, try reflecting on the essence of what it means to be human.
And if you sing it at karaoke, focusing on your vibrato will help you deliver it well.
Thousand MilesThe Kid LAROI
The Kid LAROI is a rapper who enjoys immense popularity in Australia.
In 2021, he drew major attention with “STAY,” a collaboration with Justin Bieber.
Among his works, one song that’s especially cool if you can sing it well is “Thousand Miles.” While many of his tracks are rap-focused, this song has a more melodic feel, making the English easier to pronounce.
Why not give it a try?
My Head & My HeartAva Max
Ava Max, a female singer-songwriter who enjoys immense popularity in the electro-pop scene.
Because she releases new work at a rapid pace, many people likely feel she’s always putting out hit songs.
Among her releases, the biggest hit of 2021 was My Head & My Heart.
It’s a sharp piece of dance music where a stylish vibe and fiery energy blend together—an extremely cool track.
It suits both men and women, so be sure to give it a try.
My UniverseColdplay X BTS
BTS, the Korean idol group that has sparked a worldwide boom, is hugely popular in Japan as well.
Their collaboration with the legendary rock band Coldplay is this song, “My Universe.” Released in September 2021, it features a very refreshing melody reminiscent of 2010s alternative rock.
Although the cool, polished melody might make it seem difficult to sing, it’s actually one of the easier songs among BTS’s works, so definitely give it a try.
2step feat. Lil BabyEd Sheeran
Rapper Lil Baby, who has been earning even more props after winning a Grammy in 2022.
He’s produced numerous classics, so any hip-hop head will know him.
Ed Sheeran features Lil Baby on this track, “2step feat.
Lil Baby.” It’s a perfect match between Ed Sheeran’s catchy pop sensibilities and Lil Baby’s trap-focused rap.
If you want to sing a track with an ill vibe in a cool way, definitely check it out.
Lose YourselfEminem
Here’s a classic track to introduce: Eminem’s “Lose Yourself,” one of the most famous US hip-hop songs in Japan.
It’s also known as the theme song for the film 8 Mile.
I think everyone’s heard it at least once.
This track doesn’t feature Eminem’s specialty of ultra-fast rapping or “fastest rap.” However, it’s still a piece with a very challenging flow.
In particular, the flow in the verses leading up to the hook is quite difficult, so it’s a good idea to practice it repeatedly and find your own flow and groove.
