[Trending songs keep coming out!] Easy-to-sing Western songs that hype up karaoke (1–10)
Get Lucky ft. Pharrell Williams, Nile RodgersDaft Punk
Daft Punk’s classic “Get Lucky ft.
Pharrell Williams, Nile Rodgers.” Perhaps because it features Pharrell Williams and Nile Rodgers, the track is unusually catchy and funky for Daft Punk.
With funk as its foundation, the song leans heavily on groove throughout, so there aren’t any particularly difficult vocal parts.
However, there’s a lot of falsetto, so if that’s not your strong suit, adjust the key and sing it in chest voice.
We Are Never Ever Getting Back TogetherNEW!Taylor Swift
Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has been active for many years.
This piece is a track that premiered in August 2012 ahead of her fourth album, Red, the record on which she made a major shift from country to pop.
In Japan, it was used as the theme song for the reality show Terrace House, so many people may recognize it from that.
The lyrics depict a strong resolve as she declares to an ex who wants to get back together, “We are never ever getting back together!” With a quintessential pop melody, it’s perfect for singing with an explosive energy.
If you deliver the conversational parts with emotion, it’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke.
Diet PepsiNEW!Addison Rae
Addison Rae, a female singer-songwriter who rose to global fame through TikTok.
She’s extremely popular overseas, so if you keep your ear to the ground, you’ve probably heard of her.
Among her songs, the one I especially recommend is a track from her 2025 album “Addison.” Released in August 2024, it became a hit, reaching No.
54 on the Billboard Hot 100.
The chorus is in falsetto, so it might seem challenging, but the melody itself is simple.
If you can use falsetto, anyone can sing it with plenty of vibe—so give it a try!

The Lazy SongNEW!Bruno Mars
“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!
What Makes You BeautifulNEW!One Direction
A signature song from One Direction’s debut album “Up All Night” that propelled them to global stardom.
It’s also well known for winning the British Single of the Year at the 2012 BRIT Awards.
Born from the songwriter’s real-life experience, the heartwarming message—encouraging a loved one who feels “I’m not beautiful”—never fails to stir the emotions with every listen.
From the intro’s guitar riff it’s irresistibly catchy, and the unforgettable melody is guaranteed to light up any karaoke session.
The chorus is super simple, so even if you’re not confident in your English pronunciation, you can power through it—perfect for a big sing-along.
It’s the ultimate feel-good anthem.
bad guyBillie Eilish
The hit song “bad guy,” which gained worldwide popularity in 2019.
Many people may have discovered Billie Eilish through this track.
As the impression of the song suggests, with its downer-style melody and vocal line, it’s sung within a narrow range.
Moreover, it doesn’t require much vocal power, so you can sing it well even without an advanced level of fundamental vocal technique.
However, because it’s sung quietly, you’ll need to skillfully use a whispery voice and dynamic nuance, so pay close attention to your breathing.
Waka WakaShakira
Billie Eilish’s new song “BIRDS OF A FEATHER.” Although Billie Eilish tends to favor darker tones, this track is wrapped in a refreshing melody.
That said, true to her style, the vocals keep the volume restrained throughout, so even singers who aren’t confident in their projection should have no trouble performing it.
There are basically no vocal embellishments, but a three-step melodic variation appears at the end of the chorus.
If that part is difficult, skip the embellishment and fade out following the original vocal line.
