Why these songs work

In a KTV (卡拉OK) room, a few songs come up every single night: Teresa Teng ballads for the older generation, Jay Chou and Mayday for everyone who grew up in the 2000s, and Cantonese anthems by Beyond and Eason Chan that the whole room shouts together. This list collects those classics with the Chinese title, pinyin (or "Cantonese") and an English meaning, so mixed groups can find and follow them.

Free KTV singing at home: open Encoreverse on your TV, create a free room and let guests search songs from their phones. Searching the Chinese title and singer (for example 晴天 周杰伦) usually finds a KTV-style video with lyrics; add "KTV" or "伴奏" (backing track) to the search for versions without the original vocals.
