The 60 Best Feel-Good Songs That Will Instantly Put You in a Happy Mood

1. “Since U Been Gone” by Kelly Clarkson

  • Notable lyrics: "You had your chance, you blew it. Out of sight, out of mind. Shut your mouth, I just can't take it. Again and again and again and again."

While I may not have the range of Kelly Clarkson, I can still channel the American Idol alum (or at least that iconic scene from Pitch Perfect) with this pop track.

2. “Hey Ya” by Outkast

  • Notable lyrics: "Shake it like a Polaroid picture, hey ya!"

This 2003 hit will have everyone dancing and singing along, especially when the chorus comes around.

3. “Pocketful of Sunshine” by Natasha Bedingfield

  • Notable lyrics: "I got a pocket, got a pocketful of sunshine. I got a love and I know that it's all mine, oh, oh-oh."

Nothing says the early ‘00s like this Natasha Bedingfield number. As soon as I hear "Take me away," you won't be able to take the mic away from me.

4. “The Boy Is Mine” by Brandy and Monica

  • Notable lyrics: "When will you get the picture. You're the past, I'm the future. Get away, it's my time to shine. If you didn't know, the boy is mine."

Grab your duet partner and belt out this ‘90s classic. Whether you take Brandy or Monica’s part (I don't mind playing both TBH), be prepared to recreate the iconic music video.

5. “Love Shack” by The B-52’s

  • Notable lyrics: "You're what? Tin roof. Rusted!"

If you're looking for an easy karaoke song, it’s impossible to not have fun with this ‘80s track. I've never heard anything quite like this song from The B-52's. Every time I sing it I'm immediately transported to this imaginary love shack. (Plus, Glee's cover of the song is just as good.) Trust me, the wacky lyrics are enough to add it to any party setlist.

6. “I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor

  • Notable lyrics: "No, not I, I will survive. Long as i know how to love, I know I'll stay alive."

Five seconds into this song and everyone will recognize what’s about to go down. And what better way to kick things off than with a group sing-along?

7. “Don’t Let Me Get Me” by Pink

  • Notable lyrics: "I'm a hazard to myself. Don't let me get me. I'm my own worst enemy."

If you’re dealing with some pent up rage that you’d like to get rid of then this tune is a great choice (just watch the video to understand what I mean).

8. “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” by Marvin Gaye

  • Notable lyrics: "I heard it through the grapevine. Not much longer would you be mine."

Do you typically feel super uncomfortable on stage and dread the idea of a karaoke night? (Or is it just me?) Select this classic '70s hit, have someone else sing the lead and you just take the occasional “honey, honey” in the background.

9. “Wannabe” by The Spice Girls

  • Notable lyrics: "Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really, really want. So tell me what you want, what you really, really want. I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna, I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig ah."

You really don’t need a group of friends to join you on this easy karaoke song (unless, you want to, of course) because this Spice Girls hit sounds just as good solo.

10. “Good As Hell” by Lizzo

  • Notable lyrics: "I do my hair toss. Check my nails. Baby how you feelin'? Feeling good as hell."

If you’re going sing a Lizzo song, you better bring confidence and some attitude. Actually, make sure to bring a lot of attitude.

11. “All I Want For Christmas Is You” by Mariah Carey

  • Notable lyrics: "I don't want a lot for Christmas. There is just one thing I need (And I). Don't care about the presents. Underneath the Christmas tree."

Even if it’s not technically the holiday season, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” is still a popular—and fun—Christmas song to sing during any party or get together. (But it’s especially cheerful to belt out during the colder months.)

12. “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen

  • Notable lyrics: "Too late, my time has come. Sends shivers down my spine, body's aching all the time."

This classic tune gets a little fast around the three minute mark, but I have faith that you can handle it. I typically can sing this alone, but it's more fun when you have a group sing-along. Yes, I'm aware the lyrics are...intense, but you can't deny it's a great song to end a great night.

13. “I Want You Back” by The Jackson Five

  • Notable lyrics: "When I had you to myself, I didn't want you around. Those pretty faces always made you stand out in a crowd."

A little choreographed dance will make this performance one of the (if not the) most memorable of the entire night.

14. “Hit Me Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears

  • Notable lyrics: "My loneliness is killin' me (And I). I must confess, I still believe (Still believe). When I'm not with you, I lose my mind. Give me a sign. Hit, baby, one more time."

Braided pigtails are totally optional. But killer dance moves (including hair flips and Britney's iconic runs) are a must.

15. “Don’t Go Breaking My Heart” by Elton John and Kiki Dee

  • Notable lyrics: "Don't go breaking my heart. I couldn't if I tried. Honey if I get restless. Baby you're not that kind."

Looking to do a duet? Assistant Editor of Branded Content Madeline Merinuk has got you covered. "I always sing 'Don't Go Breakin' My Heart' at karaoke! It's a great one because everyone knows it so everyone can sing along and have fun. It also serves as a cheeky and cute duet. Plus, the song isn't too hard to sing so even the most novice of singers can hit all the notes."

16. “Bye Bye Bye” by NSYNC

  • Notable lyrics: "Don't want to be a fool for you. Just another player in your game for two. You may hate me but it ain't no lie. Baby bye, bye, bye."

Show me someone who is unhappy to listen to NSYNC. I'll just wait.

17. “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” by Cindi Lauper

  • Notable lyrics: "Some boys take a beautiful girl and hide her away from the rest of the world. I wanna be the one to walk in the sun. Oh girls, they wanna have fun."

While the girlies will have a ball belting this '80s number, I have a feeling the fellas are going to enjoy joining in, too.

18. “Man! I Feel Like a Woman” by Shania Twain

  • Notable lyrics: "The best thing about bein' a woman is the prerogative to have a little fun."

The opening lyric, “Let’s go girls.” is enough to get karaoke night started.

19. “Mr. Brightside” by The Killers

  • Notable lyrics: "It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this? It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss."

There’s just something about “Mr. Brightside” that makes any crowd go wild. I suggest turning the volume up all the way and have a rager with friends.

20. “Party In the USA” by Miley Cyrus

  • Notable lyrics: "So I put my hands up. They're playin' my song, the butterflies fly away. I'm noddin' my head like, yeah. Movin' my hips like, yeah."

Grammy-award winner Miley is cool, but there’s nothing quite like 2009 Miley rocking out to a patriotic anthem.

21. “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond

  • Notable lyrics: "Sweet Caroline. Good times never seemed so good. I've been inclined to believe they never would."

Better start practicing chanting “so good” with your first in the air. Then repeating it over and over and over...

22. “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns ‘n Roses

  • Notable lyrics: "She's got a smile that it seems to me. Reminds me of a childhood memories. Where everything was as fresh as the bright blue sky."

Why not kick things off with the air guitar for the full effect? (No practice necessary.)

23. “Drops of Jupiter” by Train

  • Notable lyrics: "But tell me, did the wind sweep you off your feet? Did you finally get the chance to dance along the light of day."

Everyone’s arms will be placed around one another before the end of the set, you can bet on that.

24. “Wagon Wheel” by Darius Rucker

  • Notable lyrics: "So, rock me mama like a wagon wheel. Rock me mama any way you feel. Hey...mama rock me."

This easy karaoke song let's you choose something nice and slow so that you don’t have to worry about reading fast (and keeping up with the lyrics).

25. “Mambo No. 5” by Lou Bega

  • Notable lyrics: "A little bit of you makes me your man."

Might I suggest switching the names in the song for the names of your pals? Just to change things up a bit.

26. “Let It Go” by Idina Menzel from Frozen

  • Notable lyrics: "I'm never going back, the past is in the past."

What’s karaoke without at least one Disney song? I don't about you, but Frozen should obviously be first choice.

27. “Bleeding Love” by Leona Lewis

  • Notable lyrics: "But I don't care what they say. I'm in love with you. They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth."

Ideal for anyone looking to belt their heart out or dedicate this romantic song to a special someone.

28. “If I Ain’t Got You” by Alicia Keys

  • Notable lyrics: "Some people want diamond rings. Some just want everything. But everything means nothing if I ain't got you."

Alicia Keys may have killer vocals, but this one is surprisingly an easy karaoke song to try out.

29. “Walking on Sunshine” by Katrina and the Waves

  • Notable lyrics: "I'm walking on sunshine, woah. And don't it feel good?"

What makes this tune such a great choice for karaoke night? All of the instrumental interludes provide the perfect time to rest your vocal chords and dance around the room.

30. “Before He Cheats” by Carrie Underwood

  • Notable lyrics: "I dug my key into the side of his pretty little souped up four-wheel drive. Carved my name into his leather seats."

It may be ultimate break-up anthem, but Carrie Underwood rocks on any and every occasion. I've (thankfully) never been cheated on, but there's something about this song that makes me want to carve my name in some poor bloke's car.

31. “Livin’ On a Prayer” by Bon Jovi

  • Notable lyrics: "We've gotta hold on to what we've got. It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not. We've got each other and that's a lot for love. We'll give it a shot."

Hopefully your microphone is portable because I’ve noticed this one can get pretty intense. If not, a light mic stand will do to unleash your inner Bon Jovi.

32. “I Want It That Way” by The Backstreet Boys

  • Notable lyrics: "Tell me why. Ain't nothin' but a heartache. Tell me why. Ain't nothing but a mistake."

NSYNC or Backstreet Boys? I will never pick a side but this bop is slowly moving to BSB side...

33. “Sk8er Boi” by Avril Lavigne

  • Notable lyrics: "He was a boy. She was a girl. Can I make it any more obvious?"

Is it just me, or are the best 90s songs a total goldmine for killer karaoke tunes? For this one, baggy pants and dark eyeliner encouraged but not required. And you may want to consider investing in a skateboard or a sideways hat to really help you channel your inner teenage angst.

34. “Hakuna Matata” from The Lion King

  • Notable lyrics: "Hakuna matata, what a wonderful phrase. Hakuna matata, ain't no passing craze."

I told you there’d be more than one Disney song on this list. Either the original or the latest version (featuring Seth Rogan, Donald Glover and Billy Eichner) will do.

35. “Thank You For Being a Friend” by Andrew Gold

  • Notable lyrics: "Thank you for being a friend. Traveled down a road and back again. Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant."

Obviously I needed to include the Golden Girls theme song, because why not?

36. “(Sittin‘ On) The Dock of the Bay” by Otis Redding

  • Notable lyrics: "I'm sittin' on the dock of the bay watching the tide roll away. I'm just sittin' on the doc of the bay wastin' time."

Accompany your strong vocals with some snapping of your fingers and slight swaying of your hips. Trust me, the audience will follow.

37. “Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life)” by Green Day

  • Notable lyrics: "It's something unpredictable. But in the end, it's right. I hope you had the time of your life."

“Boulevard of Broken Dreams” also works too. No matter which Green Day song you choose, lighters will be held high in the air.

38. “Jolene” by Dolly Parton

  • Notable lyrics: "Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene. I'm beggin' of you, please don't take my man."

While I'm obsessed with Beyoncé's version of "Jolene," nothing beats the OG version with Dolly. Grab your cowboy hat and belt Jolene's name with your friends.

39. “Goodbye Earl” by The Chicks

  • Notable lyrics: "Good bye, Earl. Those black-eyed peas they tasted alright to me, Earl."

It really doesn’t get better than this easy 90s karaoke song—just ask Senior Food Editor (and karaoke queen) Katherine Gillen. "It's a really heartwarming story about female friendship (ah yes, and revenge by way of poisoned black-eyed peas and dumping your abusive husband's body into a lake). I also know all the words by heart already so if you're gonna make me do karaoke, it's gonna be this."

40. “I Love Rock ‘n Roll” by Joan Jett & The Blackhearts

  • Notable lyrics: "I love rock 'n roll. So put another dime in the jukebox, baby."

For the rock n’ roll lovers in the room, this one is a no-brainer. Get ready for head banging and feet stomping.

41. “It’s All Coming Back to Me Now” by Celine Dion

  • Notable lyrics: "But when you touch me like this and you hold me like that. I just have to admit that it's all coming back to me."

“It’s All Coming Back to Me” will turn into a group sing-along as soon as the first chorus hits because Dion just has that effect on people. To be honest, a number of tunes by the best-selling singer would be great for karaoke but I'm partial to this excellent power ballad.

42. “Shallow” by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper

  • Notable lyrics: "I'm off the deep end, watch as I dive in. I'll never meet the ground. Crash through the surface where they can't hurt us. We're far from the shallow now."

Do I really need to explain why this one made it on the list? I may not have the vocal range of Lady Gaga or even Bradley Cooper, but I can definitely replicate their auras. Do it as a duet or solo and I guaranteed it'll be a hit.

43. “Don’t Stop Believin’” by Journey

  • Notable lyrics: "Streelights, people. Livin' just to find emotion. Hidin', somewhere in the night."

Pretty much any Journey song works for karaoke, but this one is hands down the easiest. It’s also the one that’s most likely to get the party started.

44. “Thank U, Next” by Ariana Grande

  • Notable lyrics: "I've got so much love. Got so much patience. I've learned from my pain. I turned out amazing."

You probably already know the words considering how often it’s been played. Take it from an Ari fan, you won’t even have to lay eyes on the screen to read the lyrics.

45. “Waterloo” by Abba

  • Notable lyrics: "Waterloo. I was defeated, you won the war. Waterloo. Promise to love you forevermore."

There's a ton of ABBA songs to choose from for your inevitable encore, including “Mamma Mia,” “Take a Chance on Me” and “Gimme! Gimme! Gimme!”

46. “Uptown Girl” by Billy Joel

  • Notable lyrics: "Uptown girl. She's been living in her uptown world."

Thirty-eight years later (I can’t believe it either) and this song still does not get old.

47. “Build Me Up Buttercup” by The Foundations

  • Notable lyrics: "Why do you build me up (build me up). Buttercup, baby. Just to let me down?"

In my opinion, this cheery tune is the only one that’s acceptable to play over and over again without becoming incredibly annoying.

48. “Should I Stay or Should I Go?” by The Clash

  • Notable lyrics: "Darling, you got let me know. Should I stay, or should I go?"

You definitely don’t need a ton of vocal range for this easy karaoke song, so make this one you’re forever go-to option.

49. “A Thousand Miles” by Vanessa Carlton

  • Notable lyrics: "If I could fall into the sky. Do you think time would pass me by?

If you’re lucky, someone in the room might even know how to play it on the piano. Or if you happen to have some spare time on your hands, learn it yourself to really impress your friends and fam.

50. “All the Small Things” by Blink 182

  • Notable lyrics: "Say it ain't so, I will not go. Turn the lights off, carry me home."

Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na. Na-na, na-na, na-na, na-na, na, na. That’s it. That’s the caption.

51. “Say My Name” by Destiny’s Child

  • Notable lyrics: "Say my name, say my name. If no one is around you say baby I love you if you ain't runnin' game."

Grab two of your best friends and try not to fight too much over who gets to be Beyoncé. Spoiler alert: It’s obviously you.

52. “Fergalicious” by Fergie

  • Notable lyrics: "I'm the F to the E-R-G, the I, the E, and can't no other lady put it down like me. I'm Fergalicious."

Nail this one and I guarantee everyone will be calling you ‘Stacy’ the rest of the night. Also, make sure you know how to spell “Fergalicious.”

53. “Someone Like You” by Adele

  • Notable lyrics: "Never mind, I'll find someone like you. I wish nothing but the best for you, too."

The louder you sing, the better you’ll sound. At least, that’s what I've been telling myself. Sorry Adele.

54. “Bad Romance” by Lady Gaga

  • Notable lyrics: "I want your love, and I want your revenge. I want your love, I don't wanna be friends."

Honestly, there are endless Gaga options for an easy karaoke song, but this one is pretty hard to beat. Look, I got the choreography down pat, but I'm still working on my French, k?

55. “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” by Whitney Houston

  • Notable lyrics: "I wanna dance with somebody. I wanna feel the heat with somebody."

This one’s so much easier than “I Will Always Love You,” plus will get everyone in the best dancing mood. Want an encore that will really get people up on their feet? Queue up yet another Whitney classic, “How Will I Know” afterwards.

56. “Genie In a Bottle” by Christina Aguilera

  • Notable lyrics: "If you wanna be with me. I can make your wish come true. You gotta make a big impression. Gotta like what you do."

Definitely the easiest of all of Aguilera’s hits—plus, it's a jam that will tug on every millennial's heart.

57. “Valerie” by Amy Winehouse

  • Notable lyrics: "Well, sometimes, I go out by myself and I look across the water. And I think of all the things, what you're doin' and in my head, I paint a picture."

From my own personal experience, the rest of the crowd will likely join in on the chorus to help you out.

58. “Hold On” by Wilson Phillips

  • Notable lyrics: "Some day somebody's gonna make you want to turn around and say goodbye. Until then, baby, are you going to let 'em hold you down and make you cry?"

If you’re hoping to go for more of a Bridesmaids vibe, anything Wilson Phillips will get you where you need to be.

59. “Jenny from the Block” by Jennifer Lopez

  • Notable lyrics: "Don't be fooled by the rocks that I got. I'm still, I'm still Jenny from the block."

Come on, you didn’t really think that I (a fellow Bronx native) was going to skip J.Lo in this list, did you? Other solid choices include “Let’s Get Loud” and “Love Don’t Cost a Thing.”

60. “Hollaback Girl” by Gwen Stefani

  • Notable lyrics: "This s*** is bananas. B-A-N-A-N-A-S."

As long as you know how to spell “banana” then you’ll knock this one out of the park.

61. “Africa” by Toto

  • Notable lyrics: "It's gonna take a lot to drag me away from you. There's nothin' that a hundred men or more could ever do."

I can’t forget about this classic, which is guaranteed to be sung by at least three people in attendance.

62. “Stacy’s Mom” by Fountains of Wayne

  • Notable lyrics: "Stacy's mom has got it going on. She's all I want and I've waited for so long."

This easy karaoke song is always someone’s go-to and I can totally see why.

63. “Never Gonna Give You Up” by Rick Astley

  • Notable lyrics: "Never gonna give you up. Never gonna let you down. Never gonna run around and desert you."

Be prepared for it to be stuck in your head for the next 24 hours.

64. “It’s Raining Men” by The Weather Girls

  • Notable lyrics: "It's raining men! Hallelujah! It's raining men! Amen!"

A big portion of the song is just talking, so even the most amateur singer (like me) can go for it.

65. “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” by Bobby Mcferrin

  • Notable lyrics: "In every life we have some trouble. But when you worry you make it double. Don't worry. Be happy, don't worry, be happy now."

Guaranteed to brighten anyone and everyone’s mood, Bobby McFerrin is a solid way to end the night.

66. “Dancing Queen” by Abba

  • Notable lyrics: "You are the dancing queen. Young and sweet, only seventeen."

I couldn’t resist adding another ABBA song to the list, especially something as iconic as this ‘70s hit. You'll have everyone on their feet the second you sing the chorus.

67. “Total Eclispe of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler

  • Notable lyrics: "Once upon a time, I was falling in love. But now I'm only falling apart. There's nothing I can do. A total eclipse of the heart."

If you’re in your feelings, this is the song to dedicate to that heartbreaker.

68. “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction

  • Notable lyrics: "Baby, you light up my world like nobody else. The way that you flip your hair gets me overwhelmed."

A night with your friends (or let's face it former One Directioners) is not complete without collectively belting out this boy band tune. It’s even more fun when you assign everyone a part to play. I'll be Harry, of course.

69. “All Too Well” by Taylor Swift

  • Notable lyrics: "'Cause there we are again on that little town street. You almost ran the red 'cause you were lookin' over at me. Wind in my hair, I was there. I remember it all too well."

Are you a one-time singer kind of gal at karaoke? Well, no fret. I found the perfect 10-minute banger that lets you unleash the performer in you. Taylor would definitely be proud.

70. “We Don’t Talk About Bruno” by Encanto Cast

  • Notable lyrics: "We don't talk about Bruno, no, no no! We don't talk about Bruno!"

OK, there are a ton of Disney songs to sing (and I already highlighted two classics in this list). But how could you resist the chance to belt out one of the most recent and super popular songs at your next shindig? Bonus if you can sing every part with ease.

71. “Stayin’ Alive” by Bee Gees

  • Notable lyrics: "Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother. You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive."

There’s a 99 percent guarantee that your fellow karaoke singers will join you for the chorus: “ah, ah, ah, ah, stayin’ aliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiive.” And what better way to bond with friends (and strangers) than by screaming the lyrics in a pitch that is definitely off-key?

72. “Get Down Tonight” by KC and the Sunshine Band

  • Notable lyrics: "Oh, do a little dance. Make a little love. Get down tonight, get down tonight."

This ‘70s bop topped the Billboard Hot 100 when it debuted on disco group KC and the Sunshine Band’s eponymous album. The good news: it still sounds just as great today, so queue it up for your next karaoke night. This one will have everyone on the dance floor, guaranteed.

73. "Die With a Smile" by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars

  • Notable lyrics: "If the world was ending, I'd wanna be next to you. If the part was over and our time on Earth was through, I'd wanna hold you just for a while and die with a smile."

Lady Gaga and Bruno just did this smashing collab and now I'm waiting for a whole album from the duo. Grab your bestie, assign parts and belt your heart out. Extra points if you perfect the Gaga sway.

74. Respect by Aretha Franklin

  • Notable lyrics: "R-E-S-P-E-C-T. Find out what it means to me."

There's no need to have singing chops like Aretha Franklin. This '60s bop will have everyone chanting "respect" by the end of the song.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Is the Easiest Song to Sing at Karaoke?

I know this question is subjective, but I found the internet agrees songs like "Sweet Caroline" by Neil Diamond, "Mamma Mia" by ABBA and anything from The Beatles or Queen are popular picks at karaoke. But honestly, any song can work. It's all about having fun, folks!

What Is the Most Fun Karaoke Song?

I personally can't pick only one song because it really all depends on the mood, genre and environment. If you want a upbeat bop, "Hit Me Baby One More Time" by Britney Spears might be considered the most fun to sing. But hey, don't disregard those soft ballads or chill tunes, too. There's also "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" by Whitney Houston that will always get everyone on their feet.

What's the Most Requested Karaoke Song?

I did some digging and found mixed responses in regards to the most requested karaoke song. See, there's "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen, "Party In the U.S.A by Miley Cyrus" and "No Scrubs" by TLC. However, Billboard is calling "Man! I Feel Like a Woman!" by Shania Twain as their number one karaoke song, while TimeOut calls for "Like a Prayer" by Madonna to be the most requested.
