The game shipped with 30 songs on disc, with the ability to download more songs from the online SingStore. The technology is unable to work on some songs due to the way they were mixed during recording. The game will also allow users to fade out the vocal track once it detects the user singing, and return it if the user stops. SingStar then attempts to digitally remove the vocals from the track.

The songs feature the original music artist, and can be adapted from a single track master as with previous versions.

Unlike most previous SingStar games, SingStar for the PlayStation 3 features the ability to remove vocals.
