Cute Western songs to sing at karaoke: beloved classics and popular hits (1–10)
ComplicatedAvril Lavigne
This is a song released in 2002, and even people who don’t usually listen to Western music might recognize it from cable radio.
The tempo is on the slower side, so the lyrics aren’t difficult, and if you sing carefully, the English shouldn’t be a problem! The title “Complicated” means things like “complex,” “troublesome,” “intricate,” “difficult,” or “challenging,” so putting too much emotion into it might actually hurt your score.
I think the people who can sing it lightly, just matching the pitch bar, tend to score higher.
Katakana-style English is fine, so try singing it while keeping a steady vertical groove with the rhythm!
GirlfriendCharlie Puth
“I want you to be my lover…” This pop number delivers that sweet, bittersweet wish over a breezy beat, sung by Charlie Puth.
His beautiful high-tone vocals resonate pleasantly, melting listeners’ hearts like a decadent dessert.
Released as a single in June 2020, it sparkles with a funky, ’80s-inspired sound.
In the music video, he comically dances while cooking at home, vividly conveying the pre-date excitement.
It’s perfect for confessing your feelings to someone you like or spending a relaxed moment with someone special.
On White Day, be sure to enjoy this song and soak in the sweet mood.
Call Me MaybeCarly Rae Jepsen
The song has a great tempo and always gets the crowd going when you sing it.
Guys love it, of course, and it’s also a hit with girls.
It gives off the vibe that you know Western music, and it’s stylish, too.
If you sing it while doing cute little jumps, your mood lifts and both you and everyone around you will have fun.
SheElvis Costello
The classic Western ballad “She.” It has a romantic and calm vibe.
It might be a bit high in range when sung by a man.
You’ll want to sing with feeling, but if you put in too much emotion, your voice can waver, which isn’t ideal for scoring.
The best approach is to sing with a straightforward, steady tone.
The lyrics are minimal, so it’s a great pick for beginners to Western songs.
It builds toward the latter half and the range goes up slightly, so focus on keeping the tempo without getting overly carried away.
And keep your eyebrows lifted the whole time!
Love Me Like You DoEllie Goulding
It’s a great song that goes over well with foreigners.
The English isn’t too difficult, so with a bit of practice you can sing it.
There are many high notes, but it’s a song I’d like girls with some vocal ability to try.
The chorus leaves a strong impression—you won’t forget it once you hear it.
We Are Never Ever Getting BackTaylor Swift
A surefire crowd-pleaser with the ladies.
If you pour your everyday frustrations into it, you’ll have even more fun singing.
The chorus is easy to follow and perfect for call-and-response, so it’s guaranteed to hype up any karaoke session.
It’s a song that people can relate to whether they have a boyfriend or not.
BabyJustin Bieber
A signature song from Justin’s younger days.
Since it’s from a time when his voice was still higher, it’s easy for women to sing, too.
With its catchy track, easy-to-understand English, and danceable sound, this song is perfect for karaoke.
