[Women] Western Songs Ranking That Hype Up Karaoke [2025]

Every Breath You TakeThe Police29rank/position

The Police – Every Breath You Take (Official Music Video)

A signature masterpiece by the British rock band The Police, this memorable song prominently features the timbre of the double bass.

Though it holds a “quiet love song” status and enjoys overwhelming popularity among women even today, it’s actually a socially conscious track characteristic of Sting, written with the idea of a malicious surveillance society in mind.

Depending on how you listen, you can also notice a lurking eeriness reminiscent of the modern issue of stalking.

That said, it certainly tickles the feeling of “I’d want to be sung to like this by someone I love,” so perhaps it’s best to keep thinking of it as a love song.

Lil Nas X – Old Town Road (Official Video) ft. Billy Ray Cyrus

A groundbreaking track that captivated the world by fusing country and rap.

Released in June 2019, this song achieved the remarkable feat of holding the number-one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 19 consecutive weeks.

The compelling sound born from the collaboration between American artists Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus is truly a musical experience that transcends generations and genres.

Sing it at karaoke, and its distinctive rhythm and catchy melody will instantly transform the atmosphere—perfect for anyone looking to energize a party.

Livin’ On A PrayerBon Jovi31rank/position

Bon Jovi – Livin’ On A Prayer

A signature song by the American hard rock band Bon Jovi.

I’m sure many fans were hooked by this track.

I remember how, for rock, the lyrics felt surprisingly fresh at the time—almost like an American-style “naniwabushi” ballad.

It paints a somewhat fleeting, melancholic picture of a young, poor couple in a backwater town who aren’t exactly lucky, yet cling to hope and stick together—blending perfectly with rock’s rhythm and soul to make a classic.

When you sing it, channel cool-as-hell Jon, toss your hair, and shout it out together.

Give Me EverythingPitbull32rank/position

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.

Beat ItMichael Jackson33rank/position

Michael Jackson – Beat It (Official 4K Video)

It’s an uplifting dance-pop track by Michael Jackson.

The vocal key is quite high, but if you can hit the high notes, I definitely recommend singing it at karaoke.

Since it’s a song from 1982, it might not be extremely well-known today, but anyone reasonably familiar with Western pop music is almost sure to know it, so it’s also great for singing together with someone to get the crowd going.

AfricaTOTO34rank/position

Toto – Africa (Official HD Video)

A track released by Toto in 1982.

One of their most famous tracks, it features a chorus with a sweet melody.

It was a hit around the world and reached No.

1 on the charts in the United States and Canada.

It was sampled in Rich Homie Quan’s 2013 track “Reloaded.”

Eye Of The TigerSurvivor35rank/position

Survivor – Eye Of The Tiger (Official HD Video)

A song by the American hard rock band Survivor, which became a worldwide hit as the theme for the movie Rocky III.

It’s also used as an entrance theme for some athletes, so it likely sounds familiar.

Dave Bickler’s sharp, resonant vocals vividly convey a bold, fiery spirit, and the bass is especially effective, making it a standout track.

Singing this makes you feel pumped up, like “All right, let’s do this!”—a truly energizing song.
