Good TimeNEW!Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen

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

This is an exceptionally happy track created by Owl City, a leading figure in electropop, and the globally popular singer Carly Rae Jepsen.

The lyrics paint a picture of an incredibly fun time where you can laugh things off with a cheerful “It’s all good!” no matter what happens.

It’s brimming with a positive energy that says, “Let’s just enjoy the moment.” Released in June 2012, the song appears on both artists’ albums, The Midsummer Station and Kiss, and topped the charts in Canada and New Zealand.

Its brisk melody and the harmonious blend of male and female vocals are a delight, and it’s a sure-fire crowd-pleaser that will light up the room if you duet it at karaoke.

The Lazy SongNEW!Bruno Mars

Bruno Mars – The Lazy Song (Official Music Video)

“I don’t want to do anything today!” We all have days like that, right? This song is the ultimate anthem for lazy days that speaks for that exact feeling.

And the one singing it is Bruno Mars! Unlike his powerful tracks, this one has a laid-back reggae vibe, with hardly any demanding high notes or vibrato.

Just humming along casually somehow makes it sound good.

Released in February 2011, it’s also included on his debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans.

Give it a try when you want to relax and enjoy karaoke!

Love YourselfNEW!Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber – Love Yourself (PURPOSE : The Movement)

This work, one of his signature songs, is a hit number from the album Purpose, released in November 2015.

With a simple arrangement centered on the sound of the guitar, the melody is remarkably easy to remember.

Since it’s sung in a whisper rather than belted out, some listeners may find it surprisingly easy to sing.

The song reached No.

1 on the U.

S.

charts and impressively topped the year-end chart for 2016.

Happier Than EverBillie Eilish

Billie Eilish – Happier Than Ever (Official Music Video)

Billie Eilish’s work “Happier Than Ever,” released in July 2021.

It’s a song with a striking acoustic opening, and in the first half it exudes the emotional, dark atmosphere characteristic of Billie Eilish.

However, unlike her usual style, the song’s voltage rises in the latter half, shifting into a flashy electro-pop.

This change, in a good way, strips away some of what we think of as her “typical” sound, making it feel fresh to listen to.

When I’m GoneAlesso, Katy Perry

Alesso, Katy Perry – When I’m Gone (Official Music Video)

Katy Perry is a singer with powerful vocals who enjoys worldwide popularity.

She’s an artist who has been active since the 2000s, yet she continues to thrive at the forefront of the industry.

Among her works, a song I especially recommend is When I’m Gone.

It’s a collaboration with world-renowned music producer Alesso, released in 2021, and its popularity surged after the music video was released in 2022.

Pay attention to its cool sound and uplifting lyrics!

Camila Cabello – Bam Bam (Official Music Video) ft. Ed Sheeran

Camila Cabello is a singer whose Latin music–based style has earned her high praise around the world.

One of her collaborations is “Bam Bam ft.

Ed Sheeran.” This song is said to be about her past relationship with Canadian singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes, depicting how her feelings shift after their breakup.

Many middle schoolers are in relationships, too, so if you’ve just gone through a breakup, give it a listen.

One DirectionLive While We’re Young

One Direction – Live While We’re Young

A hit song by the hugely popular British idol group One Direction.

More than the content of the song itself, you’re first overwhelmed by the youthful vibe of the music video.

It’s a track that radiates youth both in its melody and its lyrics, with lines like “Youth is something you only have now.” Despite its up-tempo beat, it’s refreshing and perfect for your school days—a karaoke song everyone can get hyped about together.
