[For People in Their 50s] Western Songs That Are Easy to Sing at Karaoke: 2025 Ranking

Call Me MaybeCarly Rae Jepsen29rank/position

Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe

This song, which always ranks high in the Western music karaoke charts, is definitely recommended.

Many of the English pronunciations are easy, and the vocal range isn’t very high.

If you focus on keeping the rhythm, you should be able to sing it well.

It’s also very well-known, so everyone can get hyped during the chorus!

I think a lot of people feel uncomfortable with this kind of dance tune.

But don’t worry.

Listen carefully.

They don’t really sing that much in this track, right? That’s right—it’s basically a rap song.

And the rap isn’t fast at all.

The chorus is a bit on the high side, but it’s not so high that you can’t sing it.

In other words, if you can pronounce English properly and manage the higher notes, anyone can sing it.

Plus, there aren’t many vibrato or long-note parts, so you don’t need advanced techniques.

Even people who are tone-deaf will find it easy to sing!

You Belong With MeTaylor Swift31rank/position

Taylor Swift – You Belong With Me

Taylor Swift is popular around the world.

Her song “You Belong With Me” was released in 2008 and even won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year.

At that time, Taylor Swift mainly sang country music.

In fact, country music is an incredibly easy genre to sing.

The reason lies in its simple melodies.

This song doesn’t use any vocal embellishments—what in Japanese we call “kobushi,” often referred to in English as riffs or runs—at all.

I think even people who are tone-deaf will find it fairly easy to sing.

What Makes You BeautifulOne Direction32rank/position

One Direction – What Makes You Beautiful (Official Video)

A track from One Direction’s 2011 release, included on the album featuring “What Makes You Beautiful.” It’s also a song that won many awards, including Best New Artist at the MTV Video Music Awards in the U.

S.

Although this article recommends songs under the theme of “Western songs that are easy to sing even if you’re not good at singing,” to be honest, I don’t think this particular song really fits that description (lol).

It’s a medium-tempo, very upbeat, easy-to-groove-to track, so I hope you’ll just enjoy singing it without worrying too much about the details, including English pronunciation! Melody-wise, especially the chorus, it’s very simple—mostly just repeating the title—so I do think it’s ultimately easy to sing even for those who aren’t confident singers!

It’s My LifeBon Jovi33rank/position

Bon Jovi – It’s My Life (Official Music Video)

A song by the American rock band BON JOVI.

This track is included on their seventh album, Crash, and was released in Japan on May 10, 2000 as the album’s lead single.

Unlike many HM/HR tracks that often demand extreme high notes, this song doesn’t require many high-register parts, so even those who struggle with singing or high notes may find it relatively approachable.

The tempo is also in the medium/slow range, which might be a plus for Japanese speakers since there’s no need to pronounce English at a rapid pace.

Can’t Feel My FaceThe Weeknd34rank/position

The Weeknd – Can’t Feel My Face (Official Video)

The Weeknd is an artist whose work blends R&B elements with genres like trip-hop and chillwave in a really compelling way.

His voice and the feel of his songs are super reminiscent of Michael Jackson.

Among English-speaking artists, his sense of style is truly top-tier.

This song is on the harder side compared to the ones featured here, but if you can pull it off, it’ll look seriously cool! If you’re confident in your groove and high notes, definitely give it a try.

The key to this song is how you cut off the ends of phrases.

Don’t let them trail off weakly—finish them clean and sharp.

It’s R&B, so the difficulty is higher, but it’s absolutely worth the challenge! It’ll surely level up your vocal technique!

Careless WhisperGeorge Michael35rank/position

George Michael – Careless Whisper (Official Video)

It is a signature solo work by George Michael, who was a member of Wham!.

As George Michael’s biggest hit, it became a worldwide success.

In Japan, it drew attention when Hideki Saijo (under the title “Dakishimete Jitterbug”) and Hiromi Go released covers around the same time.
