Released in September 2003, it became their first single to break into the UK Top 10.
The music video—set around a secret government manipulating the world—also drew attention.
The lyrics, expressing a sense of despair and urgency, are said to reflect feelings about the end of a relationship and the state of the world.

The powerful vocals of P!nk and Nate Ruess brilliantly capture both the breakdown of a relationship and the hope of rebuilding it.
Released as a single from the album “The Truth About Love,” it reached No.
1 on the iTunes chart in March 2013.
It’s truly a classic that captured hearts around the world.
If you sing it as a male-female duet at karaoke, its appeal is sure to double.
Anyone who has experienced the joys and pains of love will no doubt relate to this song.
Bye Bye Bye*NSYNC
The song “Bye Bye Bye,” used as the opening for the film Deadpool & Wolverine, is, as everyone knows, a classic hit by *NSYNC.
Perhaps because it was used almost in full within the movie, the association of Deadpool = Bye Bye Bye has really stuck.
Surprisingly, the song sits in a relatively low vocal range and doesn’t require the kind of intricate, R&B-style melodic runs.
As long as you keep the groove in mind, you should be able to sing it without any issues—so consider adding it to your repertoire.
Radio Ga GaQueen
The song “Radio Ga Ga,” included on their 11th album The Works and also a worldwide hit single, features lyrics that liken the band to radio—then said to be in decline—conveying a strong determination that they’re far from finished.
With its simple melody, minimal inflection, and relaxed tempo, it’s easy to sing even for those who feel uneasy about Western pop.
The chorus is guaranteed to turn into a massive sing-along—a timeless number loved across generations.
HonestyBilly Joel
A singer-songwriter from the South Bronx of New York, he is world-renowned as the “Piano Man,” a moniker taken from one of his songs.
While Billy, who blends elements of jazz, rock, and blues and is known for his powerful vocals, usually delivers more forceful numbers, this is a gentle ballad by his standards—an enduring masterpiece that, the more you listen, makes you reflect on what truly matters in life.
Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)Katy Perry
This is one of Katy Perry’s signature songs, known for its catchy melody and up-tempo beat.

We Will Rock YouQueen

Known as a pinnacle of stadium rock, it was included on the 1977 album “News of the World.” Its simple yet powerful beat stands out for an overwhelming presence created through multi-tracking and delay effects.
It’s often performed together with “We Are the Champions” live, and it closed the show at Live Aid in 1985.
For karaoke, you can belt it out powerfully like Freddie Mercury or lighten the mood with call-and-response.
