If you’re a fan of Western music, this is a universal favorite! A high-energy number by Led Zeppelin, included on the album Led Zeppelin IV.

The song apparently developed out of a jam session.

It’s a super upbeat track, so it’s a great one to sing early on at karaoke to get the crowd going!

Meat Loaf’s “Paradise by the Dashboard Light,” by the American rock singer, is a great choice for a Western rock song to sing at karaoke.

There are many sections where you can shout, so if you’re confident with shouting or you naturally have a husky voice, you can capture the feel of the original and sound really cool—highly recommended.

Also, the song has a female chorus part, so it’d be great to sing it together with a woman who likes rock!

With its truly grand intro, this song is perfect for closing out the final stretch of a karaoke session.

The main section is a classic, fast-paced rock tune that lifts your spirits and fuels you for tomorrow.

Since the band is often categorized as opera rock, it’s incredibly dramatic.

From his handsome looks that still retain a boyish charm comes a soulful vocal delivery so addictive it sticks in your head after just one listen.

Rick Astley, who scored worldwide hits in the late 1980s and was hugely popular in Japan, experienced a resurgence through the internet in the 2000s and continues to be cherished by younger generations today.

Speaking of Rick, it has to be his 1988 classic, “Never Gonna Give You Up.” Many people in their 50s surely spent nights dancing to this song back in the day.

Relive that feverish excitement—and try singing it at karaoke!

Avril Lavigne is a very popular international singer in Japan.

Her songs are widely known, so they’re a classic choice when you want to sing Western music at karaoke.

All of her tracks get the crowd going, but if you want to show off your vocal skills, I think this song is the best.

If the rocking guitar sound and those high notes come together, you’re sure to be the star of the karaoke room!

Blood Sweat & TearsBTS

A song by a charismatic Korean boy group.

In Western karaoke, it’s categorized under Korean.

It has more words similar to Japanese than English does, and the word order is the same.

This song sings about a guy who’s totally hooked on a queen-like girlfriend.

In the chorus, be sure to convey the feeling that he’s completely captivated—body and soul—by her.

K-pop fans will definitely get hyped, and it also works great as a crowd-pleasing Western karaoke pick!

Rock-style Western songs are cool to sing at karaoke and really get everyone hyped up.

If you’re looking for a rock track like that, I recommend Kelly Clarkson’s “Since U Been Gone.” It’s an awesome song where the guitar’s overflowing rock vibe matches perfectly with her high, powerful vocals.

During the chorus, everyone can do call-and-response, so it’s sure to get the crowd going.
