[2025 Edition] Cool Western Songs to Sing! From the Latest Hits to All-Time Classics

Never Ending SongConan Gray

Conan Gray – Never Ending Song (Official Music Video)

If you’re looking for a heart-wrenching breakup song, I think “Never Ending Song” would be a perfect fit.

It’s a track released by singer-songwriter Conan Gray.

Its biggest hallmark is its spoken-style lyrics, depicting a man calling his ex and expressing his feelings.

The key is to sing it sometimes melodically and sometimes almost like you’re acting.

By the way, the catchy choreography has been getting attention too, so check it out if you’re interested.

AlwaysDaniel Caesar

Daniel Caesar – Always (Official Audio)

Canadian singer-songwriter Daniel Caesar made headlines when he held his first solo concert in Japan in 2023.

From his album “Never Enough,” let’s take a look at “Always.” It’s a ballad that expresses unwavering love and bonds.

Because it’s a gentle, tender song, it’s well-suited for showcasing vocal ability.

Try singing it with emotion for a truly moving performance.

DaylightDavid Kushner

David Kushner – Daylight (Official Music Video)

David Kushner is a singer-songwriter known for his dark vibe.

His track Daylight is his latest release and is currently a massive hit, especially on TikTok.

The song carries strong religious overtones and features complex, enigmatic lyrics.

The melody matches those lyrics with a heavy, weighty feel.

Because of that, it tends to sound cooler when sung by someone with a rich, low voice rather than a thin, light one.

DFMUElla Mai

Ella Mai – DFMU (Official Music Video)

Ella Mai is a UK-born R&B singer who has garnered attention from R&B enthusiasts around the world.

If you keep up with R&B in Japan, you’re probably familiar with her.

She has produced a number of classic tracks, but the one I especially recommend is DFMU.

It’s a piece centered on the slow-jam R&B she excels at, and because the slow-jam genre is, as the name suggests, very slow, I think the English pronunciation is also easier.

Hold Me CloserElton John, Britney Spears

Elton John, Britney Spears – Hold Me Closer (Official Video)

Hold Me Closer, a collaboration between big names Elton John and Britney Spears, is a great pick when a man and woman go to karaoke together.

Its catchy melody and lack of difficult parts make it easy to sing.

It also works well to follow it up with solo songs by Elton John or Britney Spears.

If you’re going to karaoke with people who grew up listening to Western pop around the ’90s, you can’t go wrong with songs from these two!

Control FreakFLO

Control Freak

FLO is a British girl group.

Let me introduce their song “Control Freak.” The title “control freak” is a psychological term referring to someone who tries to control everything.

In the song, from a woman’s perspective, they portray a man who attempts to dominate her life.

One of its biggest appeals is how it conveys the importance of freedom and independence.

It’s also a great recommendation when you want to encourage someone close to you.

As a bona fide R&B track, there’s no doubt you’ll sound cool singing it.

Coast ft. Anderson .PaakHailee Steinfeld

Hailee Steinfeld – Coast ft. Anderson .Paak

American singer Hailee Steinfeld’s “Coast” featuring fellow American artist Anderson .

Paak is a great song to try singing with someone who’s good at rap.

Hailee Steinfeld’s vocal part is simple and easy to sing, and Anderson .

Paak’s rap isn’t very fast, so even people who aren’t used to singing Western pop can give it a try!
