How do I make a karaoke version of any song?
The answer
Remove the lead vocals with an AI karaoke maker such as the one below (no credits needed; it is unlocked by any paid SongUp AI plan): upload the song, wait while it separates the vocals in your browser, then download the backing track as WAV and sing over it. For lyrics on screen, play it alongside the song’s lyrics.

Questions
Is it free?
No credits are needed and there is no limit, but the Karaoke Maker needs any paid SongUp AI plan. Every plan unlocks it. For a completely free option, use the Acapella Extractor (vocals only, free account) or the free desktop app Ultimate Vocal Remover.
Does it keep the backing vocals?
It removes the lead vocal. Backing vocals mixed like the lead are usually removed too; ones recorded very differently can remain.
What format is the karaoke track?
A full-length 44.1 kHz WAV file.
Can I add the lyrics to the video?
The Karaoke Maker makes the audio. For songs you make on SongUp AI, a lyric video with the words on screen is available too.
