The best karaoke songs from the 2020s

In need of fresh ideas for your next karaoke night? Have no fear. My extensive music knowledge and I are here. Here are some of the best song choices from the 2020s (so far) to sing at karaoke.

1 of 20

"Rain On Me" by Lady Gaga & Ariana Grande

YouTube

Live your Chromatica fantasy by performing Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's "Rain On Me" with your bestie. It's arguably the best song on the album and already one of the best karaoke songs of the 2020s, so you better do it some justice.

"Easy On Me" by Adele

Adele

You know I had to include Adele. Though it's definitely a different vibe, "Easy On Me" was her first single of the 2020s and has already made an impression on the decade. Let's all cry at the karaoke bar together!

"Smokin Out The Window" by Silk Sonic

Silk Sonic

I think a Bruno Mars song is usually a good idea for karaoke, but he and Anderson .Paak, as Silk Sonic are on another level. "Leave the Door Open" is a great choice, but I chose "Smokin Out The Window" because it's hilarious while still being an R&B and soul masterpiece.

"Happier Than Ever" by Billie Eilish

Billie Eilish

I'm proud to say that I've been a part of the collective screaming of Billie Eilish's "Happier Than Ever" on karaoke night, and it was amazing. One of the best choices of the decade so far, in my opinion.

"Good 4 U" by Olivia Rodrigo

Olivia Rodrigo

You can't really go wrong with any Olivia Rodrigo song right now. She's on fire! There's just something about "Good 4 U" that makes you want to scream it into a microphone.

"Wish You The Best" by Lewis Capaldi

Lewis Capaldi

Lewis Capaldi belongs on every karaoke list with a voice like that. Since "Wish You The Best" is probably his most recognizable song of the 2020s so far, you should definitely do this one!

7 of 20

"Anti-Hero" by Taylor Swift

YouTube

It's hard to keep up with Taylor Swift these days with all of her re-releases, but "Anti-Hero" off of the Midnights album is worthy of karaoke night. It was one of the best songs of 2022 and probably of the decade.

8 of 20

"About Damn Time" by Lizzo

Lizzo

Another feel-good Lizzo song to belt out at karaoke? Yes, please. "About Damn Time" is the one! No one will be able to resist singing along.

"Yes, And?" by Ariana Grande

YouTube

We weren't even two weeks into 2024 when Ariana Grande hit us with "Yes, And?" I'm excited to see people unleash their inner Ari with this one and the rest of the album when it's released in March.

"Happiness" by The 1975

The 1975

This was a tough call to make, but I've decided this is one of The 1975's best songs released in the 2020s. It's got a fun enough music video to convince me that performing or watching somebody else perform at karaoke would be fun. I'd say "If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know)" or "I'm in Love with You" are also suitable choices.

11 of 20

"Levitating" by Dua Lipa

Dua Lipa

Future Nostalgia in its entirety is worthy of the mic, but "Levitating" is sure to be a crowd-pleaser. Need a backup Dua song, just in case? Try any one of the other five singles on the album.

12 of 20

"Midnight Sky" by Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus

I know, it's freaking Miley Cyrus. How do you choose just one song? Well, I can't, but I believe "Midnight Sky" from her Plastic Hearts album is the perfect karaoke song. It's one of her best, and performing it can guarantee a good time.

13 of 20

"Lose You To Love Me" by Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez

Okay, it was released as a single in 2019, but it lives on Selena's 2020 album Rare, so it counts! "Lose You To Love Me" is a great ballad for karaoke and already a 2020s favorite.

14 of 20

"Break My Soul" by Beyonce

Beyonce

"Break My Soul" was basically made for karaoke. It's the perfect escape and the No. 1 choice for those who've just quit their job and are looking to find a new drive.

15 of 20

"Best Friend" by Saweetie & Doja Cat

Saweetie & Doja Cat

Grab your best friend and prepare for one of the most memorable karaoke performances the karaoke bar has ever seen. "Best Friend" is the best song to perform to celebrate your friendship.

16 of 20

"Greedy" by Tate McRae

David Niviere/Abaca/Sipa USA

Tate McRae's "Greedy" is already one of the best pop songs of the decade, and you should for sure sing it at karaoke if you're having any doubts. I don't think we're tired of it yet, right?

17 of 20

"That's What I Want" by Lil Nas X

Lil Nas X

Sure, you could do "Industry Baby" or "Montero (Call Me by Your Name)," but "That's What I Want" is the superior karaoke tune. Let's face it: you probably know more of the lyrics to this one than you realize.

18 of 20

"Big Energy" by Latto

If you know this song well enough and can rap your butt off, do it. "Big Energy" was one of the biggest songs of 2021 and will kill at karaoke night.

19 of 20

"Take My Breath" by The Weeknd

The Weeknd

Of all the songs on the two albums The Weeknd released in the 2020s, "Take My Breath" is the most fun to perform at karaoke. It's a funky, disco-y bop that no one can resist dancing to.

"Savage (Remix)" by Megan Thee Stallion & Beyonce

Megan Thee Stallion

Megan Thee Stallion is killing the game right now. "Savage (Remix)" is another great rap duet. If you can pull it off, all eyes will be on you.
