How do I download karaoke songs for free?

Yes, you can! Karaoke Version has a complete section where you can find all the free karaoke songs available on our website.

To download a free karaoke song, you'll need to first establish an account on Karaoke Version and then visit the dedicated section called Free Karaoke.

You will then get the option to download the free karaoke song to your computer in the format of your choice (CDG, MP4, WMV, or KFN).

Don’t mention the word “karaoke”... it’s taboo. We prefer to use words like “party game” or “singing game”. Video games created the genre of singing games as we currently know them.

Do you want to sing songs by The Beatles, Elvis Presley, Michael Jackson, Elton John, Adele, or Celine Dion?

You can now sing any song without having to take online singing lessons or buying a karaoke machine. You just have to download karaoke versions of their songs.

This musical activity originated in Japan and was invented Kisaburō Takagi, a Japanese record dealer who noticed that at the start of the 1960s, people enjoyed singing along to the songs that were played on the jukebox.

With that in mind, he decided to create a machine that would play the audio from the song without the vocals of the artists. This process allowed people to grab a microphone and put themselves in the place of the singers and imitate their voice during the playback of audio tracks.

It’s a simple principle: sing along to an instrumental version of a song. The player can sing while following the words as they appear on the screen that tell them when to sing them.

It’s never been easier to get a free karaoke song in the digital age. You just have to download a karaoke app in order to access backing tracks and hear your voice.

Most of the time, you’ll need to create an account or subscribe because downloading karaoke songs often come at a price. Don’t worry, though! There are plenty of free versions, too.

So what are you waiting for? You can download karaoke videos with the lyrics now!

Why not challenge your friends to a sing-off?
