Khalid’s Most Popular Songs Ranking [2025]

Dove Cameron, Khalid – We Go Down Together (Official Video)

This song, We Go Down Together—a collaboration between actress-singer Dove Cameron and Khalid, a highly acclaimed R&B singer-songwriter—is a beautiful yet somewhat wistful ballad that fully showcases their gorgeous voices.

The serene piano tones and solemn strings, combined with the emotional swell in the chorus, are truly moving.

While the arrangement is dramatic, performing a song like this with just piano and voice brings the beauty of the melody into even sharper focus.

If you can play the piano, I highly recommend singing it with a simple chord accompaniment.

Khalid – American Teen (Official Video)

That vague anxiety about the future and the liberating feeling that there’s only now—emotions everyone experiences while climbing the steps to adulthood—are portrayed here, set to a soothing sound.

This song is the title track from American singer-songwriter Khalid’s acclaimed album American Teen, released in March 2017; the album received high praise and was nominated at the 60th Grammy Awards.

Honest not only about the dazzling moments but also about boredom and frustration, it’s a truly down-to-earth anthem.

Put it on as background music for a casual chat with friends or a drive, and it might make you realize that this uncertain time is, in fact, a treasure.

Khalid – Better (Official Video)

A bittersweet love story unfolds over the sophisticated tones of R&B.

Khalid’s warm vocals gently embrace the feelings of a heart burning with a secret love.

Released in September 2018, this song was included on an EP and later featured on the album “Free Spirit.” The lyrics capture the joy of falling in love and the desire to cherish time with that special someone, making it a perfect track for the Valentine’s season.

It’s a song that will resonate with many, ideal for listening while spending precious moments with a loved one or thinking of a secret crush.

Khalid – Coaster (Audio)

Khalid, a Canadian artist who has gained popularity with R&B infused with a modern sound.

Unlike old-school R&B, his songs are characterized by very catchy lyrics and melodies, making them easy to listen to.

A breakup song of his that I recommend is Coaster.

The title means roller coaster, and it portrays the pain of heartbreak as if you’re plunging downward like on a roller coaster.

Don’t Pretend ft. SAFEKhalid19rank/position

Khalid – Don’t Pretend (Official Audio) ft. SAFE

Khalid is a hugely important figure in the contemporary R&B scene.

Born in 1998, he proved both his talent and popularity by earning a Grammy nomination just two years after his 2016 debut.

“Don’t Pretend,” a collaboration between Khalid and SAFE, is an R&B track with a mellow vibe.

Khalid – Eleven (Official Lyric Video)

Khalid, a promising hope in the R&B scene—no, already a young frontrunner—released “Eleven” in January 2020.

The contrast between the laid-back melody and the crisp rhythm track is beautiful, evoking a dope vibe that feels like late at night or just before dawn.

His vocals are, of course, top-notch and one of the song’s key attractions.

When you’re a bit tired and want to sink into a slow-tempo beat, this track won’t let you down—an ideal choice, wouldn’t you say?

Let’s GoKhalid21rank/position

Khalid – Let’s Go (Audio)

Khalid, who first drew attention on SoundCloud and has since become one of the world’s leading R&B singers.

He’s known not for orthodox R&B, but for an appealing, alternative approach.

Among his tracks, the one that fits this theme perfectly is Let’s Go.

Created early in his career, this piece leans more toward pop than R&B.

With a strong indie-pop vibe, it’s very accessible to Japanese listeners who may not be accustomed to Black music.
