In Japan, it was used as the theme song for the reality show Terrace House, so many people may recognize it from that.

The lyrics depict a strong resolve as she declares to an ex who wants to get back together, “We are never ever getting back together!” With a quintessential pop melody, it’s perfect for singing with an explosive energy.

Included on their sixth album, News of the World, “We Will Rock You” is known as one of Queen’s signature songs.

Created so the audience could take part, its ensemble of just handclaps and foot stomps is simple yet tremendously impactful.

With its narrow vocal range and minimal dynamics, it’s perfect as an entry point to Western pop music.

It’s a massive hit that, when sung at karaoke, is sure to get everyone joining in for a rousing sing-along.

The calm groove, soulful vocals, and warm melodies never lose their brilliance, no matter how many years go by.

This song, in which Adam Levine’s clear, beautiful voice resonates pleasantly, is a popular track included on Maroon 5’s fifth album, “V.” Released in January 2015, it reached No.

2 on the U.

Set to a sweet melody, the lyrics—centered on themes of love and desire—leave a strong impression.

The metaphor comparing deep feelings for a lover to “sugar” is superb and sure to touch listeners’ hearts.

While the song has a poppy, upbeat feel, it also conceals deep emotions and longing, which is part of its appeal.

If you sing it at karaoke, we recommend delivering it with a sweet, bittersweet sentiment.

Panic! At The Disco – High Hopes (Official Video)

Panic! At The Disco is a band that enjoys immense support from young people for their realistic lyrics and catchy melodies.

They specialize in the genre known as emo, and their lyrics continue to empower many youths even today.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend for middle school students is “High Hopes.” While it’s quite challenging to sing, it’s a track that gives a strong push to young people who are taking on challenges, making it a perfect fit for middle schoolers in that sense.
