Breakup songs in Western music that you’ll want to sing at karaoke: World classics and popular tracks (41–50)

LonelyAkon

Akon – Lonely (Official Music Video)
LonelyAkon

A hit by Akon, who is both an R&B singer and a rapper.

The track samples the 1964 hit “Mr.

Lonely,” and despite its cute, catchy melody, the repeated refrain of “lonely” makes it a heart-wrenching breakup song.

There are some fast-paced parts, but since the pitch stays fairly constant, I think it’s an easy song to try.
