Trending Acoustic Tracks of 2025
In 2025, acoustic renditions of popular songs have gained significant traction across platforms like YouTube, Spotify, and TikTok. Artists are reimagining mainstream hits, offering stripped-down versions that resonate with audiences seeking authenticity. Here are some notable acoustic pop covers making waves this year:
Noah Kahan – 'Lacy' (Olivia Rodrigo Cover)
Folk artist Noah Kahan delivered a heartfelt acoustic rendition of Olivia Rodrigo's 'Lacy.' His gentle falsetto and layered harmonies created a robust, folksy soundscape, earning praise from critics and fans alike.
Sabrina Carpenter – 'Good Luck, Babe!' (Chappell Roan Cover)
Sabrina Carpenter offered a gorgeous acoustic rendition of Chappell Roan's 'Good Luck, Babe!' during her BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge performance. She injected the synth-pop hit with a little bit of country flair, complete with pedal steel and acoustic guitars.
Harry Styles – 'The Chain' (Fleetwood Mac Cover)
Harry Styles' acoustic rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s The Chain has captivated audiences, blending his signature soulful vocals with a raw, stripped-down arrangement. His cover, which first gained attention during live performances, has resurfaced in 2025 as a viral hit across social media and streaming platforms.
