Karaoke songs in Western music that are easy to sing even for people who are tone-deaf
A roundup of easy-to-sing Western karaoke songs even for the tone-deaf!
I know many people feel intimidated by Western music.
In Japanese pop, techniques like vocal runs or shouts aren’t used very often.
Especially vocal runs—similar to what we call “kobushi” in Japan—aren’t typically attempted.
Because we grow up with that kind of musical culture, many Japanese people end up lacking a strong sense of rhythm or melodic phrasing.
This time, I’ve picked out songs that even those with a very “purely Japanese” musical sensibility can sing and still sound cool!
Of course, I’ll also highlight specific tips for each song!
We’ll cover some technical points too, so if you want to get better at singing, don’t miss this!

Karaoke Songs in Western Music That Are Easy to Sing Even for the Tone-Deaf (41–50)
Middle GroundMaroon 5
Maroon 5 is a popular band that effortlessly handles any kind of song, from catchy tracks to full-fledged alternative rock.
They boast a fairly long career, yet they’re still going strong on the front lines.
Their new song, Middle Ground, is a testament to that.
This work isn’t dance music; it’s crafted as an emotional ballad.
Because it contains little of the Black music essence, there aren’t many advanced techniques like vocal riffs and runs.
As a result, it’s a song that even those who struggle with pitch can find approachable.
Karaoke Songs in Western Music That Are Easy to Sing Even for the Tone-Deaf (51–60)
All About That BassMeghan Trainor
Megan Trainor’s smash hit “All About That Bass,” which topped the charts in 2014, is a hit number that also won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year.
Although it’s a pop song, it incorporates many elements of the doo-wop genre.
Doo-wop, by the way, doesn’t require long sustained notes all that much.
That characteristic comes through strongly in this song as well, making it relatively easy to sing.
Made You LookMeghan Trainor
Meghan Trainor is a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her unique musical style that incorporates doo-wop—a genre that was trendy in the 1950s—into contemporary pop music.
Many of you may know her, as her songs are frequently featured on TikTok.
Among her tracks, one I especially recommend for being easy to sing is “Made You Look.” Doo-wop places emphasis on overall feel and groove, so there aren’t many very high parts.
That makes it approachable even for people who are tone-deaf or not confident in their singing.
Used To Be YoungMiley Cyrus
Miley Cyrus, a female singer-songwriter who has gained popularity for her husky voice and wide-ranging musicality.
Released in August 2023, this work is a heartfelt mid-tempo ballad that looks back on her past.
The lyrics nostalgically recall the recklessness of her younger days, and the music video—where she wears a Mickey Mouse T-shirt reminiscent of her Disney Channel era—also drew attention.
Because the track emphasizes groove, the vocal line isn’t difficult and doesn’t include any particularly high parts.
Among many Western pop songs that are challenging to sing, this one is especially approachable.
To Be With YouMr. BIG
This song, released in 1991 by the American band Mr.
Big—featuring top-tier virtuoso musicians like guitarist Paul Gilbert and bassist Billy Sheehan—became a massive hit, reaching No.
1 on the Billboard charts.
Eric Martin’s vocals on this track showcase his soulful qualities to great effect within a simple, catchy melody.
While the band’s signature flashy, technical instrumental work takes a back seat here, the song is highly polished as a vocal-centric piece and very enjoyable.
Now, singing this with the kind of soulful delivery Eric himself uses, full of ad-libs, can be quite challenging for those not confident in their singing.
However, if you simply trace the melody as it is, it’s a very singable and beautiful song.
So if you try it at karaoke, consider not focusing too much on imitating the original.
Also, be careful with the key setting—you might run into unexpectedly high notes in the original key.
Miss YouOliver Tree & Robin Schulz
Oliver Tree is a singer-songwriter who’s insanely popular on TikTok.
Despite his striking visual style, his music is sleek and stylish, and that contrast has won him fans all over the world.
Among his works, the one I especially recommend is Miss You—the one you often hear on TikTok.
Since it’s dance music, the vocals are restrained.
There isn’t much to memorize in the lyrics, so it’s an easy song to sing even if you’re not a great singer.
Look At Her NowSelena Gomez
“Look At Her Now” is a dance-pop tune by Selena Gomez.
Her songs are generally easy to sing.
That’s because she isn’t the type to belt out powerful notes, which means they’re approachable for amateurs like us.
This track doesn’t use long sustained notes or vibrato.
As long as your pitch and pronunciation are on point, it’ll sound stylish.
Give it a try!
