[Women] Western Songs Easy to Sing at Karaoke: Ranking [2025]

APT.ROSÉ & Bruno Mars64rank/position

ROSÉ & Bruno Mars – APT. (Official Music Video)

Rosé, who has gained popularity as a member of the hit K-pop group BLACKPINK, has also been active as a solo artist recently, producing globally successful tracks.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is APT.

This piece is a collaboration with Bruno Mars and is derived from a Korean singing game.

Given that background, the chorus, which pays homage to the singing game, is very simple.

The original parts don’t require a particularly wide vocal range either, so including Bruno Mars’s section, it’s a song that’s quite easy to sing.

Bad RomanceLady Gaga65rank/position

Lady Gaga – Bad Romance (Official Music Video)

It’s a single by Lady Gaga released in 2009.

Overseas, opinions are divided—perhaps due to the provocative music video—but in Japan it’s very popular, and although it requires quite a bit of practice, many people still sing it at karaoke.

The key when singing it at karaoke is how clearly you can pronounce the English lyrics.

Berbie GirlApua66rank/position

Aqua – Barbie Girl (Official Music Video)

This is a cheer song by the artist Aqua, whose catchy, easy-to-understand pop sound matches perfectly with girly and cute lyrics.

With its polished pop vibe, it’s a work we can recommend to teenage girls that’s sure to get everyone hyped up at karaoke.

BurnEllie Goulding67rank/position

Ellie Goulding – Burn (Official Video)

This is a cheer song by Ellie Goulding, whose luxurious musicality and catchy yet heavy melodic sense create an overwhelming presence.

With its energetic vibe, it sets a pleasant mood and feels approachable for teenage girls, making it a song you’ll want to sing at karaoke.

Back To BlackAmy Winehouse68rank/position

Amy Winehouse – Back To Black

This is a karaoke track by Amy Winehouse, whose husky vocals and a world brimming with a smoky flavor enable a richly dense sonic approach.

The melody progresses in a range that’s easy to sing even for those who are tone-deaf, and her artistry—familiar to women in their 50s as well—evokes a sense of luxury.

Die With A SmileLady Gaga, Bruno Mars69rank/position

Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars – Die With A Smile (Official Music Video)

The song “Die With A Smile” by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars.

Perhaps in line with the revival boom, this piece is crafted to evoke the neo-soul of the 1970s.

Since it falls under Black music genres, it might seem challenging, but because it doesn’t feature much of the technique known as “fake” in Western music—similar to the “kobushi” ornamentation in enka—the overall difficulty is relatively low.

If you can’t hit the falsetto in the chorus, try raising the key instead until you can produce a clear falsetto.

We Found Love ft. Calvin HarrisRihanna70rank/position

Rihanna – We Found Love ft. Calvin Harris

The hit song by Rihanna and Calvin Harris was a long-running success—you could hear it on the streets again and again even years after its release.

The organ riff is pleasing, and it has a vibe that blends EDM and pop in golden proportions.
