A track included on Mya’s 2011 album, where she’s active as an R&B singer.

She’s also known for her work as a model and actress.

The song is striking for its message of wanting to do what she loves, and it’s a rhythm- and beat-driven piece.

This is a song included on the 1990 album “Step by Step.” Known as an American pop band, they rose to fame with the single of the same title as the album.

It’s a moving track.

One Direction – Live While We’re Young

It’s a song everyone knows from commercials and morning shows—one you can’t help but hum along to.

With its party theme, it’s perfect for celebrating a birthday at karaoke.

The uplifting lyrics are another highlight.

I highly recommend it for anyone about to welcome a new year in their life.

A classic song so famous you hear it all the time on TV and in apparel shop BGM—there’s probably no one who doesn’t know it.

It’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped.

Since it’s a male-female duet, it’s fun for couples celebrating together or friends to sing as a pair.

Duetting on someone’s birthday to make a memory is a great idea, too.

Give Me EverythingPitbull

Pitbull – Give Me Everything ft. Ne-Yo, Afrojack, Nayer

It’s pretty up-tempo, so it’s hard to sing, but I think it’ll get people hyped.

It’s more of a song to enjoy listening to than singing.

That said, if you can sing it, it’s really cool, and there’s no doubt the audience will definitely get into it.

Raise Your GlassP!nk

P!nk – Raise Your Glass (Official Video)

The PV looks refined at first glance, but it also has that overseas-style shamelessness and intensity that keeps your eyes glued to the end.

The song’s tone is quite powerful, and there’s a strong sense of exhilaration as it builds toward the chorus.

I’m sure this is one you can sing with a really great feeling.

Pixie Lott – All About Tonight

It’s a party-themed song.

Lyrics like buying new shoes express an excited feeling that only women can truly relate to.

It also conveys the desire to be a strong woman who won’t be pushed around by men.

The track has a cool, powerful vibe, so it’s definitely a song I’d love to hear women sing.
