[2025 Edition] Western songs that are cool if you can sing! — From the latest hits to classics (41–50)
yes, and?Ariana Grande
Ariana Grande, the American pop star celebrated around the world, released her latest track “yes, and?” in January 2024 as the lead single from her seventh studio album.
Blending a light dance shuffle with incisive lyrics and responses to her critics, the song celebrates the importance of self-acceptance and positive self-expression, and it’s sure to energize listeners and boost their confidence when sung at karaoke.
It especially underscores valuing your own worth and living life authentically.
For anyone belting out “yes, and?” at karaoke, it’s worth knowing that background and enjoying the song as a form of self-expression.
If you emulate Ariana’s polished vocals while adding your own interpretation, you’ll make the karaoke stage shine!
UnholySam Smith, Kim Petras
Sam Smith, the British singer-songwriter.
His hit songs like “Stay With Me” are popular choices at karaoke.
His track “Unholy,” featuring German singer-songwriter Kim Petras, has a danceable vibe, so it’s a top pick for getting the crowd going at karaoke.
When you sing this song, adding a bit more echo will help you capture the feel of the original.
Also, try holding the mic a little farther away for an even cooler sound!
Uptown Funk ft. Bruno MarsMark Ronson
A song I’d like to introduce as a surefire crowd-pleaser is “Uptown Funk ft.
Bruno Mars.” Many of you have probably heard it in commercials and the like.
The track was produced by DJ Mark Ronson, with vocals by Bruno Mars.
The song’s theme is basically about hitting the town and having fun with girls.
The melody keeps the energy high from start to finish, so the key is to sing it boldly without being shy.
It’s also perfect for singing loudly with friends!
DrownJustin Timberlake
“Drown,” the much-talked-about 2024 release from Justin Timberlake—the prince of American pop—features moving piano melodies and richly emotive vocals that leave a lasting impression.
Based in the United States, Timberlake captivates listeners with this song that candidly explores the pain of love and betrayal.
“Drown” is recommended for anyone grappling with complex emotions.
In particular, those who have experienced deep disappointment in love may find the lyrics deeply relatable.
Since Timberlake makes extensive use of his signature falsetto, try practicing by singing in falsetto first while keeping your pitch steady.
Why not become the star of karaoke with “Drown,” a song that asks what love is and empowers you to move beyond it? This track just might be a first step toward your future self!
Eyes ClosedEd Sheeran
Ed Sheeran, a singer-songwriter from the UK who has continued to gain worldwide popularity since his early-2010s debut.
He hadn’t been very active recently, but he’s finally dropped a new release.
The standout I especially recommend is Eyes Closed.
It’s a calm pop track with a tropical house vibe that he excels at.
The vocal range isn’t very wide, so it should be easy for Japanese singers to perform.
If you can add a shout at the start of the chorus, the atmosphere will ramp up instantly—so give it a try.
Handshake With HellArch Enemy
Handshake With Hell by Arch Enemy, a melodic death metal band from Sweden, is a heavy yet catchy track.
In Japan, the harsh-vocal sections are often called “death voice,” and the clean sections refer to parts without shouts—both are mixed throughout the song, so switching between them is key for karaoke.
In particular, the shout sections make extensive use of deep growls.
The trick to growling is to distort the voice while keeping the throat well open.
If you strain and constrict your throat to force the sound, you won’t achieve the deep growl this song calls for, so be careful about that!
Dance The NightDua Lipa
Dua Lipa is an artist who has achieved global success both as a singer and as a model.
Overseas, she enjoys tremendous support as a fashion icon for women.
Her new song is Dance The Night.
The track is similar in style to her mega-hits Don’t Start Now and Break My Heart, and it’s crafted as a funky number that highlights a deep bassline.
It combines an upbeat groove with a languid vibe—seemingly at odds, but if you capture both elements when you sing it, it’ll come out looking cool.
