10 Child-Appropriate Pop Songs for Kids to Sing

Written by Molly Webb

Anyone who’s worked with me knows that I don’t endorse a lot of restriction on what kids are allowed to sing. Children’s love of a song often has nothing to do with how they relate to the lyrics and much to do with how a certain melodic hook, chord progression, or beat moves them. Exposure, of course, also plays a large role, so children gravitate toward what you play for them in the car and what their older siblings play in their room. But while I don’t like dictating what kids have to sing, it’s important to at least sometimes encourage them to sing lyrics that they can relate to so that they can get practice understanding the emotional crux of a song. It can be challenging to find pop songs like this, so today I’m giving you 10 child-appropriate pop songs for kids to sing.

1. Brave, by Sara Bareilles

“Brave” is about having the courage to speak up instead of bottling up all the hurt and anger. It’s a wonderful, empowering message for all ages.

2. Beautiful, by Christina Aguilera

Since the official music video isn’t as G rated as the song, I used the lyric video instead. Christina Aguilera’s “Beautiful” is about maintaining your sense of self-worth even when others are trying to tear you down.

3. Breakaway, by Kelly Clarkson

“Breakaway” is perfect for every age. By preschool, we all enter a variety of situations where we begin to break away from the comfort of our home life and explore the world independently.

4. Mean, by Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift has several child-appropriate songs, but “Mean” is my favorite message. When a child is being bullied, it’s very difficult to keep perspective and realize that this is a temporary phase. Singing along with “Mean” is both empowering and cathartic.

5. Firework, by Katy Perry

One of the quintessential child-appropriate pop songs, “Firework” is about feeling good about yourself and shining bright for the world.

6. Fight Song, by Rachel Platten

“Fight Song” deals with the theme of fighting through the times in your life you feel lost and small. It’s very easy to relate to no matter how young or old you are.

7. Happy, by Pharrell Williams

I hope that “Happy” is a song you’ve all related to at some point and that you’ve felt like clapping along because happiness is the truth.

8. Count on Me, by Bruno Mars

While Bruno Mars may not have a huge selection of child-appropriate material, “Count on Me” is a pretty strong exception. It’s explicitly about friendship and about counting on the people in your life you’re closest to.

9. Fireflies, by Owl City

No empowerment theme, no overcoming obstacles or being there for your friends: “Fireflies” is just an all-around fun song full of dream-like images.

10. Who Says, by Selena Gomez

Another song for the empowerment list, “Who Says” discusses loving who you are, flaws and all.

      • I don’t want to be offensive, but we didn’t really ask, and plus if you like those types of songs, search and listen yourself. The person who made this worked really hard on this so please don’t criticize. It literally says “10 child-appropriate POP Songs” And if you don’t like it so much don’t leave mean comments. Anything you say can hurt more deeply than you think. It can lead to dangerous things.

  3. Would, I feel like a monster, Skillet be age appropriate for a 10 year old boy?

    Reply
    • Sarah, I think it just depends on the context. I’d honestly have no issues with a student of mine singing that at one of our recitals if he liked it a lot, since there aren’t any bad words or anything in it. That said, if it’s for a school performance or something like that people might get fussier over the darker content.

  17. Hi Molly! This is a great list. I have a Kindergartner who wants to sing in her upcoming talent show. I love that she is showing a love for music and want to continue to encourage that. Would you mind sharing other Taylor Swift appropriate songs? Right now, my daughter wants to sing ‘You Belong to me’ and that might be pushing it so trying to give her other suggestions! 🙂

    Reply
    • That’s so great that she wants to perform! Out of the Taylor Swift ones I found, “Mean” is probably the most relatable to kids, but maybe take a look at “Safe and Sound,” “Change,” and “The Lucky one.” “Safe and Sound” is from Hunger Games and is less up. “The Lucky One” is just about the price of fame. Hope she has a blast!

  29. Thank you so much for recommending these songs, these are songs that actually somewhat help me get through with my life, i guess i can be called depressed and abused but these are when i didn’t know how to bottle up my emotions. And so ever since i was 5 i taught myself how to bottle up my emotions. And so ever since then my friends have called me emotionless. The only feeling i ever showed was happiness, all the other feelings were gone, i forgot about them. Anyway like i said, thank you for recommending these songs.

  31. Hi, I’m 11 and in fifth grade. I think these songs might be a bit too little for me… I think their probably great songs for littler kids. I prefer artists like Ava Max and Gabby Barrett. I like songs such as ‘You Broke Me First’ by: Tate McRae or ‘Savage Love’ by: Jason Derulo (the clean version, obviously!). Do you have a list for older kids?

    P.S. Happy New Year!

    Reply
    • Hi! That’s totally understandable that you’re aging out of them! I don’t have a list written out, but “Scars to Your Beautiful” by Alessia Cara has a good message. So does “Rise Up,” by Andra Day. Those two are a little older. Some more current ones are “Lose You to Love Me” by Selena Gomez, “My Future” by Billie Eilish, “People, I’ve Been Sad” by Christine and the Queens, Daisies, by Katy Perry. I also can’t get Mrs. Snow by Sia out of my head right now. In reality, by 11 I think you can probably pick any pop songs you like and just leave out the swear words and other suggestive stuff if you end up performing one of them. Thanks so much for the comment!

  56. Hi! My name is Juliana and I really liked these songs! I am 10 years old (almost 11) and I was drawing an art project for art class while listening to these! I knew most almost all of them and was singing and jamming along to the music! Another thing I wanted to say was that my teacher does something called Music Monday where she plays a song for my class. She told the class that it has been hard finding age appropriate songs for us to listen to. I am definitely show her this website! Thank you so much for the songs Molly!

  86. Do you know of any songs that are appropriate for a school talent show. I have one coming up and don’t want to sing a weird song like Yankee Doodle.

    Reply
    • Katee, I’m so sorry for the slow response!! I haven’t logged into my blog in a while. The talent show has probably passed, but just in case (or for next time) there are so many good ones out there. It also depends on your voice type and range. Some good middle of the road ones as far as range are “Stay” by Rhianna and “Million Dreams” from Greatest Showman.
