25 easy karaoke songs for women
Looking for an easy song to sing? Finding a simple song for women can be trickier than you think. Many pop songs require much more vocal complexity than you think. For example, Britney Spears – Toxic is much more complicated than first glance and can really push your vocal range. You also need to consider your vocal type and range. You can read our guide on selecting a karaoke song for your vocal range.
To make selecting a song at your next karaoke party simple, we’ve put together a list of the 25 easiest songs for women to try out for your next karaoke party.
The songs were chosen based off their memorability, easyness to sing, and also how easy it will be able to get the crowd to sing along with you. We've tried to include a variety of music genres from heavy ballads to power-pop anthems, so you can find the best song for you.
The 25 easiest karaoke songs for women
1. Mamma Mia – ABBA
The ultimate karaoke track! Everybody loves ABBA, everybody knows “Mamma Mia”. You literally cannot go wrong once the bouncy keyboards and joyful electric guitar squeals start bopping their way out of the speakers. Swedish 70’s pop at its absolute finest–the perfect soundtrack for a girl’s night out.
2. Jolene – Dolly Parton
One of the greatest songs ever written, “Jolene” is classic country personified: a woman afraid that some beautiful, auburn-haired temptress might steal her man away just because. It’s simply composed and has a great rhythm that just about everybody recognizes from the first chord. Definitely a karaoke sing-along for the ages.
3. Bad Guy – Billie Eilish
A complete and total banger of a karaoke singalong, “Bad Guy” always manages to get the party started. Thanks to its catchy baseline spread over minimal synth beats, and its girl-power-exuding sing-speak lyrics, it’s no wonder this track won Grammy Awards for Record and Song of the Year in 2020 and remains Eilish’s signature hit.

4. Wannabe – Spice Girls
Girl power like no other! This 90’s feminist anthem wasn’t preachy or contrived––just irresistibly fun and sing-along-able. It introduced an audience of young girls to the concept of Girl Power and created a girl-group movement unlike any other. It’s also a delightfully infectious earworm of a track that always satisfies.
5. Call Me Maybe – Carly Rae Jepsen
A modern singalong track like no other, “Call Me Maybe” is pure pop perfection. Sweet and syrupy melodies and lyrics that hint at brooding teen romance are usually good ingredients for a karaoke standout track and this one delivers.

6. Flowers – Miley Cyrus
What girl can’t relate to the message of buying herself flowers? It’s a great pop track and modern empowerment manifesto that women from far and wide can claim as their own. And because it’s Miley, it doesn’t stray too far from the basic vocal range so it’s an ideal easy option. Flowers is also now her most popular karaoke song.
7. Girls Just Wanna Have Fun – Cyndi Lauper
Also the motto for any girl-get-together, “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” is a cheeky example of pure 80’s pop gold. Cyndi’s iconic delivery and catchy lyrics come along once in a generation. And, ironically, this is a track that any female of any generation can relate to.

8. Man! I Feel Like a Woman – Shania Twain
Is there any track that gets the girls on the dancefloor as quickly as this late-90’s bop? I mean, Shania literally starts the song with “Let’s go girls…” This is, quite easily, one of the best examples of easy karaoke: the audience will be too involved with singing along to notice if you’re not technically on pitch. It’s also just unbelievably fun.

9. I Love Rock & Roll – Joan Jett & The Blackhearts
No fuss, no muss, classic rock and roll. What could be better for striking up all the rough and tough chicks in the crowd? “I Love Rock & Roll” tells it like it is, using minimal vocal range while still hitting on Jett’s iconic sneer.

10. Like a Virgin – Madonna
Is there karaoke music any more iconic than 80’s Madonna? Probably not. And for good measure.

15. Don’t Know Why – Norah Jones
Sometimes you want to take a different approach. This jazzy, slow burn of a track features Jones in all her wistful, coffeehouse glory. Featuring solid vocals and peppy piano tinkles, it’s a great second or third number, but maybe don’t expect everybody to get up and sing along.

16. Stay – Rihanna & Mikky Ekko
Sometimes, duets can be tricky. But there’s something about this winsome sizzler from Rihanna and Mikky Ekko, the vocals remain steady across the track’s piano rhythms and the notes never hit too high from either artist. A great example of an easy song for two.
17. Oops!... I Did It Again – Britney Spears
As early 2000’s singalongs go, Britney’s got them all. This all-time anthem from her sophomore CD is fanciful and fun, with limited high notes, and yet it’s still amazing. Every girl in the room will be willing to contribute backup vocals.

18. Put Your Records On – Corinne Bailey Rae

19. Royals – Lorde
Another soft-spoken heroine of late-2000’s pop, Lorde came out of nowhere with this amazing left-field anthem. Not too heavy on the vocals, it’s a great option for getting the audience to sing along without too much heavy lifting.
20. Love Story – Taylor Swift
A modern-day singalong no matter where you are (a karaoke bar, an elevator, the shower, your car), “Love Story” from Taylor’s breakthrough record, Fearless, is a winding pop saga that tells the story of star-crossed lovers who can’t be together. Totally relatable!
21. Zombie – The Cranberries
Despite its haunting lyrics and late frontwoman Dolores O’Riordan’s one-of-a-kind vocals, “Zombie” is a gem of 90’s nostalgia. An all-time fan favorite, “Zombie” can be sung in many different registers, and still pack an emotional gut punch to the audience.
22. Malibu – Miley Cyrus
Look, nobody can say that Miley is the greatest technical singer on earth, so if you’re looking to start with an easy karaoke track, why not make it this underrated, pop-infused hit from Cyrus’ curious back catalogue?
23. Hit Me with Your Best Shot – Pat Benatar
The Queen of 80’s pop-rock, Pat Benatar added sass and flair to many of her biggest tracks, but none more successfully than “Hit Me With Your Best Shot” – a brash, kiss-off track oozing with female empowerment. Her massive pipes are mostly subdued here, making it a great option for leading the crowd in a dominating singalong.
