Western party songs: popular party tunes recommended even for party-scene beginners

Good TimeOwl City

Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen – Good Time (Official Video)

As the chorus says, “It’s always a good time,” this is the ultimate party song.

Rather than trying to convey a deep message, it’s a simple “Let’s get hyped!” kind of track.

It’s a classic that lets you forget everything and just revel in pure fun when you’re out making noise with friends.

One Direction – Live While We’re Young

It’s a song everyone knows from commercials and morning shows—one you can’t help but hum along to.

With its party theme, it’s perfect for celebrating a birthday at karaoke.

The uplifting lyrics are another highlight.

I highly recommend it for anyone about to welcome a new year in their life.

Party Up (Up In Here)DMX

DMX – Party Up (Up In Here) (Enhanced Video, Edited)

Since the title is “Party Up,” we pretty much have to pick this, right? If we go with hip-hop, putting on a track like this will absolutely get the crowd hyped.

It might be hard for Japanese people to grasp intuitively, but foreigners will feel the very essence of a party in a song like this.

Give Me EverythingPitbull

Pitbull – Give Me Everything ft. Ne-Yo, Afrojack, Nayer

It’s pretty up-tempo, so it’s hard to sing, but I think it’ll get people hyped.

It’s more of a song to enjoy listening to than singing.

That said, if you can sing it, it’s really cool, and there’s no doubt the audience will definitely get into it.

Ariana Grande – Everyday (Official Video) ft. Future

This is a collaboration track between Ariana Grande, a hugely popular songstress in Japan, and Future, a globally popular rapper.

The laid-back rhythm is cool and just listening to it will lift your mood.

The deep bass throughout the song is awesome, so try listening on big speakers.
