[2025] A Compilation of Popular Western Songs That Liven Up Wedding After-Parties [Karaoke]

Birthday Song2 Chainz

2 Chainz – Birthday Song ft. Kanye West (Official Music Video) (Explicit Version)

It’s a hip-hop track.

I think it would sound really cool if you performed it.

The song itself is slow, but it has a unique vibe and would be perfect as background music.

Singing it as an alternative birthday song might also help prevent things from getting stale.

LevelsAvicii

Avicii – Levels

It features an irresistibly danceable uptempo beat.

The lyrics celebrate life itself rather than just a birthday, so it works for many different celebratory occasions.

The song’s dramatic shifts in tempo make it exciting to listen to, and I think it has multiple moments that are easy to get hyped about throughout.

I Really Like YouCarly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen – I Really Like You

It’s a timeless classic of Western pop music.

The chorus has an incredibly catchy melody that makes everyone want to sing along.

With its bright, poppy vibe, it’s sure to get people—especially women—pumped up at karaoke.

Also, don’t miss the lyrics, which charmingly capture a cute, girlish heart.

CelebrationKool and The Gang

Kool & The Gang – Celebration

It’s a slightly old song, but it’s quite famous and I think most Japanese people know it.

There are plenty of chances to shout call-and-response lines for the singer, so if you do it at karaoke, it becomes a song everyone can enjoy together.

Since it’s a celebratory song, it’s perfect as a birthday song.

Live While We’re YoungOne Direction

One Direction – Live While We’re Young

It’s a song everyone knows from commercials and morning shows—one you can’t help but hum along to.

With its party theme, it’s perfect for celebrating a birthday at karaoke.

The uplifting lyrics are another highlight.

I highly recommend it for anyone about to welcome a new year in their life.

Good TimeOwl City & Carly Rae Jepsen

Owl City & Carly Rae Jepsen – Good Time (Official Video)

A classic song so famous you hear it all the time on TV and in apparel shop BGM—there’s probably no one who doesn’t know it.

It’s guaranteed to get everyone hyped.

Since it’s a male-female duet, it’s fun for couples celebrating together or friends to sing as a pair.

Duetting on someone’s birthday to make a memory is a great idea, too.

I’m BoredThe Damned

The Damned – I’m Bored

If you’re not good at playing instruments and you’re a beginner, the most realistic option is to do covers of punk bands.

That’s because many punk songs are only about two minutes long.
