Recommended Western songs for high school girls

There’s been an increase lately in Western music with cute, poppy vocals and adorable sounds.

This time, I’ve picked out some Western songs recommended for high school girls.

I especially want high school girls who don’t usually listen to Western music to give these a try!

Of course, those who already listen to Western music will enjoy this too (lol).

Recommended Western songs for high school girls (1–10)

GirlfriendAvril Lavigne

Avril Lavigne, a rock-pop star who’s hugely popular in Japan as well, is best known for her song “Girlfriend.” Despite its poppy, upbeat melody, the lyrics are bold and assertive.

I hope girls who may not feel very confident can keep these lyrics in the back of their minds.

NoMeghan Trainor

A song called “No” that I want women around the world to keep in their hearts.

Even if a boy you’re not interested in asks you out, firmly turn him down by saying “No!” to his name, phone number, and signature—everything! It’s an empowering track, and once you hear its catchy melody, it won’t leave your head.

This song carries the message that we could never blame a girl who’s doing her best.

It’s a song I want girls all over the world to hear.

School as a society can be harsher than adults often realize, but I hope you won’t blame yourself.

Ariana, who has visited Japan many times and is hugely popular especially among Japanese teenagers, teams up with rapper Future on this new track.

The chorus repeats, making it a perfect song for high-spirited jumping and singing—just like energetic high school girls would.

TouchPia Mia

This song is striking for the beautiful, clear vocals of Pia, a young and popular singer from Guam, and its distinctive, catchy melody.

Like Pia Mia and her backup dancers in the music video, it’s a great track for high school girls to dance to at sports festivals or cultural festivals.

Love MyselfHailee Steinfeld

Hailee Steinfeld – Love Myself (Official Video)

A song with a strong message: love yourself—you don’t need anyone else! It’s one to listen to when you’ve lost confidence during your youth.

It’s sung by the young Hailee Steinfeld.

She’s only 20, but her vocals are striking for their clarity—both beautiful and powerful.

Stand By YouRachel Platten

Even if your wings break, I’ll give you mine.

Even if there’s no heaven, I’ll go through hell as long as I’m with you.

I’ll always be by your side—I’m on your side.

This song is filled with such gentle messages.

Everyone has hard times, and when you do, I hope this song lifts you up.
