Even people who usually enjoy listening to Western music often find themselves hitting the brakes when it comes to singing it at karaoke.

In fact, there might be more of us like that than you’d think.

Just because you like Western music doesn’t mean you can speak English, and the unique phrasing in English songs can be tricky.

It’s easy to give up thinking, “I won’t sing it well anyway.”

On the flip side, if you can nail it, nothing looks cooler.

So this time, we’ve picked out songs that are sure to turn heads when you sing them at karaoke.

We’ve gathered a wide selection across genres, focusing on the latest hits and popular tracks.

We’ve also included a few quick tips for actually singing them, so be sure to check it out!

[2025 Edition] Western songs that are cool to sing! From the latest hits to timeless classics (161–170)

Kenya Grace – Strangers (Official Lyric Video)

If you want to make the most of your high-tone voice, I also recommend “Strangers.” It’s a track released by Kenya Grace, a singer-songwriter based in the UK.

She sings lightly over an EDM-style track about the sorrow of a woman who keeps going through the same breakup pattern.

There are many parts that use a whispery voice, so keep that in mind as you practice.

It’s also perfect if you want to sing a song that’s trending on TikTok.

If you want to create a cool vibe with a flashy party song, I recommend “Dancing Feet ft.

DNCE.” Featuring the dance-rock band DNCE, this track showcases their signature dance-rock sound to the fullest.

Since it’s up-tempo, you might think it’s hard to sing, but the English isn’t that difficult, so even those who aren’t comfortable with Western music have a good chance of pulling it off.

Lewis Capaldi is a Scottish singer-songwriter whose husky baritone voice has captivated listeners around the world.

Many people in Japan may know him thanks to the global smash hit Someone You Loved, released in 2019.

His new song Wish You The Best is a passionate ballad that plays to his strengths.

Rather than singing gently and cleanly, he delivers it with a rough, emotional intensity that makes it especially compelling.

MONTEROLil Nas X

The song “MONTERO” caught fire in popularity after a video posted on TikTok.

It was created by the American rapper Lil Nas X.

The track is said to carry a message opposing discrimination and prejudice.

Because of that, the lyrics are a bit provocative.

However, the melody has a moody, mature vibe, so it’s sure to get the crowd going when you sing it.

When performing, it might be a good idea to start by trying to imitate the flow.

Miley Cyrus is an actress and singer-songwriter.

Speaking of her, her 2023 release “Flowers” made headlines for spending two consecutive weeks at No.

1 on the Billboard charts.

It’s been featured a lot on Japanese TV shows as well, so singing it at karaoke is sure to impress.

When performing “Flowers,” focus on a husky vocal tone and very low vibrato.

Try to sing it in as low a register as possible.

RiverMiley Cyrus

Singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus, who successfully transitioned from a Disney Channel leading actress to a recording artist, has achieved great success.

Since the 2020s, her musical style has become more cohesive, and she has been releasing stylish, gritty tracks that spotlight her distinctive husky voice.

Her new song, River, exemplifies this: it’s a synth-pop-driven track featuring phrases throughout—both in the vocals and the production—that evoke the 1980s.

It’s incredibly cool if you can sing it, so if you’ve got a husky voice, definitely give it a try.

Måneskin, the Italy-born band that’s hugely popular on TikTok.

Among their tracks, Beggin’ is their most famous piece.

If you watch TikTok or YouTube Shorts, you’ve probably heard it at least once.

The song has a worn, gritty vibe that’s already cool on its own, but if you want to make it sound even cooler, try singing it when your voice isn’t in the best condition.

The raspier it gets, the cooler it sounds, so it’s perfect for karaoke at an after-party.
