Måneskin is the Italian band currently making the biggest waves worldwide.

Their song “Beggin’” is one of their signature tracks and gained global popularity through platforms like TikTok.

Italian rock has long been among the world’s best, but thanks to their success, it’s become more common recently to see Italians ranking high on English-language charts.

The powerful chorus, driven by their distinctive raspy vocals, is incredibly cool—sure to get the crowd going if you sing it at karaoke.

For those looking for a chill vibe, I also recommend “Pink Champagne.” This track was created by singer-songwriter Nick Lopez.

Set to a laid-back sound, it sings about enjoying a night out at the club.

While the lyrics and overall sound are upbeat, the song carries a happy message that should help you relax nicely.

There’s also a handclap sample, so it’s fun to clap along.

For starters, try singing it at an easy, relaxed pace.

If you sing a Western rap song, it looks pretty cool and is sure to hype everyone up.

So, the track I want to introduce is “Barbie World.” It’s a song by rappers Ice Spice, Nicki Minaj, and Aqua, created for the movie Barbie.

It remixes Aqua’s “Barbie Girl” into a more stylish, modern version.

Try practicing by mimicking the flow.

If you’re looking for upbeat dance music, I recommend Thought About That.

This track was released in 2021 by Israeli singer Noa Kirel and became a global hit.

The drop’s phrase is memorable, so many of you may recognize it from TikTok and elsewhere.

Dance music can seem hard to sing, but this song is relatively easy in terms of vocal difficulty.

Stick SeasonNoah Kahan

Noah Kahan – Stick Season

Stick Season, a song released in 2022 by Vermont-born singer-songwriter Noah Kahan, centers on the transitional period in his hometown known as “stick season.” Delicately portraying feelings of loneliness and melancholy during this time, the track also serves as a metaphor for human relationships shifting alongside changes in nature.

In particular, by likening the emotional arc of heartbreak to the natural transformation of “stick season,” it evokes a universal yet deeply resonant empathy.

Now a long-running hit in both the US and UK, the song’s lightly country-tinged guitar blends a touch of nostalgia with a modern freshness.

When singing it at karaoke, try leaning into the rhythm while balancing breeziness with a hint of wistfulness to capture the right vibe!

Always On My MindPet Shop Boys

Pet Shop Boys – Always On My Mind

The British music duo Pet Shop Boys.

One of their signature songs is “Always On My Mind.” It pairs a bright, synth-driven pop sound with lyrics about the sadness and regret of heartbreak.

That contrast between the sound and the words is a big part of its appeal.

Although the melody moves along, the vocal delivery is unhurried, so try not to get swept away—sing it calmly and steadily.

Also, it’s worth noting that this song is a cover of an Elvis Presley number.

PinkPantheress, whose every new release goes viral on social media, is drawing major attention.

She collaborated with rapper Ice Spice on “Boy’s a Liar Pt.

2.” It’s a light, synth-driven pop song that sings of straightforward love for a guy and the way she can’t stop thinking about him even after being rejected.

With lyrics that reference smartphone features, it’s easy for modern listeners to relate to.

The tempo is slightly fast, but the steady rhythm makes it relatively easy to sing.
