[Male] Western Songs That Are Easy to Sing at Karaoke: 2025 Ranking

Call Me MaybeCarly Rae Jepsen57rank/position

Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe

It’s no exaggeration to say she was discovered by Justin Bieber, and this is one of the signature songs of this Cinderella girl.

From the sound alone, it’s a very cute track.

Since there are lots of repeated phrases, it’s easy to try singing.

Once in a while, it might be fun to play the cutesy role and sing a charming, poppy song like this!

You Belong With MeTaylor Swift58rank/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 Direction59rank/position

One Direction – What Makes You Beautiful (Official Video)

A signature song from One Direction’s debut album “Up All Night” that propelled them to global stardom.

It’s also well known for winning the British Single of the Year at the 2012 BRIT Awards.

Born from the songwriter’s real-life experience, the heartwarming message—encouraging a loved one who feels “I’m not beautiful”—never fails to stir the emotions with every listen.

From the intro’s guitar riff it’s irresistibly catchy, and the unforgettable melody is guaranteed to light up any karaoke session.

The chorus is super simple, so even if you’re not confident in your English pronunciation, you can power through it—perfect for a big sing-along.

It’s the ultimate feel-good anthem.

Ellie Goulding – Burn (Official Video)

Anyway, isn’t it a song that makes you feel positive and fired up? During the chorus, you might feel like jumping nonstop.

It doesn’t have much of a love-song vibe, so you can sing it in any situation.

Since there are many repeated phrases, I think it’s relatively easy to sing.

Rap GodEminem61rank/position

Eminem – Rap God (Explicit)

A motivational song by Eminem that proves his high level of skill through a hardcore rap style and the texture of a heavy-track approach—perfect for karaoke.

With a lyrical approach that resonates with teenage boys, it’s a work that helps elevate one’s inner self.

HappyPharrell Williams62rank/position

Pharrell Williams – Happy (Official Video)

It’s a song that was popular in Japan too, so the sound feels very familiar and I highly recommend it.

If you sing this, you’ll definitely feel super pop and happy.

I’d love for everyone to clap along to the beat and the music together!

Careless WhisperGeorge Michael63rank/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.
