Singing your heart out at karaoke is the perfect way to spend an evening with friends. But picking the right songs is a strategic process, and most beginners aren’t confident in their vocal range. Thankfully, there’s a select list of songs that sound great no matter how well you can sing. Here are the top tunes to try at your next bar night.

7 Karaoke Songs That Anyone Can Sing

1. “Wannabe” by The Spice Girls

The Spice Girls truly made a song for everybody with “Wannabe.” With peppy, fun, and simple lyrics, it’s easy to follow along. The conversation-like pre-chorus makes it the perfect song to perform in a duet or group.

2. “500 Miles” by The Proclaimers

With its bouncy and snappy rhythm, this song doesn’t even require you to sing. As long as you follow the tune and chant with bravado, the crowd will be impressed by your energy.

3. “It’s Gonna Be Me” by NSYNC

Everyone loves a dramatic performance. When it comes to creating a lively atmosphere, choosing “It’s Gonna Be Me” is bound to get at least a few strangers to sing along. For extra flair, add some flashy and goofy NSYNC-style dance moves.

You’ll always sound amazing with this go-to tune. The song is fun, easy to dance to, and offers the ideal performance for the hopeless romantics. Try to harmonize with your friends for added entertainment.

5. “Hey Jude” by The Beatles

If you’re looking for a song with buildup, “Hey Jude” is one of your best bets. Some beginners may be intimidated by a slow song that goes on for longer than most, but this gives you the opportunity to look ahead and keep up with the lyrics. While you can start the song on your own, everyone will be singing with you by the outro.

6. “Mamma Mia” by ABBA

“Mamma Mia” was always destined to be a karaoke song. With a low vocal range and only a few changes in key, singers of any skill level can take on this song and have fun with it. Its easily recognizable intro and catchy chorus are sure to bring an energy boost to the bar.
