Heartbreak-themed Western songs I want to sing at karaoke: World classics and popular hits (51–60)

StuckStacie Orrico

A hit by Stacie Orrico released in 2003.

Set to an up-tempo, beat-driven melody, it expresses the feeling of being unable to forget a former lover.

The English is easy to follow and the groove is catchy, so it’s a piece I’d love to see you sing with strength and confidence.

Love FoolThe Cardigans

A cute song by The Cardigans released in 1996.

Despite its poppy, catchy melody and the sweetness of the vocals, it’s actually about the pain of a relationship falling apart.

The lyric “Even if it’s a lie, tell me you love me” is heartbreaking.

It’s very easy to sing, so try performing it in a cute style.

LonelyAkon

A hit by Akon, who is both an R&B singer and a rapper.

The track samples the 1964 hit “Mr.

Lonely,” and despite its cute, catchy melody, the repeated refrain of “lonely” makes it a heart-wrenching breakup song.

There are some fast-paced parts, but since the pitch stays fairly constant, I think it’s an easy song to try.

A heartbreak song by the Backstreet Boys that became an explosive hit.

It sings about the pain of losing a lover.

The English is simple and the melody is easy to remember, so I think it’s an easy song to sing.

The chorus would probably be a blast if you split the parts and sing it with friends.

A song by Bon Jovi released in 1995.

It’s a passionate breakup song that sings of eternal love for a former partner.

It feels like a track that would leave you feeling refreshed if you belt it out with emotion.

The lyrics are full of lingering attachment, but the song itself is very powerful and energetic.
