I Had Some Help (feat. Morgan Wallen)Post Malone
A track where cheerful sounds and melancholic lyrics create an exquisite contrast.
Crafted by the popular American rapper Post Malone, the song signals a fresh venture into country music.
Its unique atmosphere—born from a collaboration with Morgan Wallen—will surely resonate deeply with listeners.
Released in May 2024, it debuted at No.
1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
It also generated major buzz by holding the top spot on the Songs of the Summer chart for 14 weeks.
If you sing it at karaoke, try emphasizing the gap between the bright melody and the bittersweet lyrics.
Dancing In The FlamesThe Weeknd
When it comes to modern takes on 80s-style synth-pop and disco sounds, The Weeknd is the first name that comes to mind.
Released in September 2024 by the Canadian artist, this work is a passionate love song that portrays emotions wavering between love and danger.
While it falls under the synth-pop genre, it masterfully fuses The Weeknd’s signature sensual vocals with a trippy soundscape.
The phrase “dancing in the flames” that appears in the lyrics is particularly striking as a metaphor for an intense romance.
Interestingly, the track was used during Apple’s iPhone 16 Pro promotional event, and its music video was reportedly shot on the same device.
If you sing it at karaoke, the key will be conveying the intensity and bittersweetness of the romance.
ARTTyla
One of the standout artists in the 2024 music scene is Tyla, a singer from South Africa.
Her songs are characterized by a distinctive sound that fuses Amapiano and R&B.
Featured on her debut album “Tyla,” this track makes a striking impression with its fresh metaphor of romance as an art form, winning over many listeners.
The music video has also generated buzz, racking up over a million views on its first day.
It has charted high in multiple countries and earned international acclaim.
In August 2024, she performed at Japan’s Summer Sonic, captivating the audience.
If you sing it at karaoke, aim for a sensual vibe while enjoying the African beats.
Get everyone to join in on the chorus for an even bigger thrill!
We Are YoungFun ft. Janelle Monáe
A fan favorite that won numerous awards, including Grammys, across 2012 and 2013! The intro might not sound familiar, but many of you will recognize the chorus where the vibe shifts dramatically.
Since the chorus melody repeats afterward, you don’t have to memorize a bunch of different lines, making it easy to sing at karaoke.
The lyrics overflow with lingering feelings for an ex, so it’s a great pick when you’ve been dumped but still want to hype up the room and look a little cool!
Closer ft. HalseyThe Chainsmokers
This is a ballad by The Chainsmokers, one of the most popular artists in dance music and EDM.
There aren’t many challenging vocal parts like high notes or rapping, so as long as you practice the English, even beginners in Western music should be fine.
As a love song, it has parts that can be sung by both male and female vocalists, so it’s sure to get everyone excited at couple gatherings or group mixers.
Wake Me UpAvicii
If you ask which EDM track really gets people hyped, I think many would name this one.
It was made by Avicii, a pioneering player who helped ignite the EDM boom and sadly passed away in 2018.
You might expect straight EDM, but it actually starts acoustically, which sets up the big lift later on.
The chorus has no lyrics, so as long as you can sing the opening part, you can just dance through the chorus—making it easy to sing at karaoke and guaranteed to get the crowd going!
Uptown Funk ft. Bruno MarsMark Ronson
Mark Ronson’s classic “Uptown Funk” featuring Bruno Mars is a hit on a whole different level, so most people in Japan will recognize it.
Its biggest appeal is, without a doubt, the melody.
The track is crafted as funk music—almost the polar opposite of contemporary sounds—resulting in an overall groovy, high-energy vibe.
Those elements make it perfect for getting the crowd going at karaoke, so why not give it a try?
