How it's used
Focuses specifically on the act of singing alone as a performance, rather than just singing by oneself in private. It is commonly used in the context of school talent shows, karaoke competitions, or professional stage performances. While it describes the action, it often implies a level of confidence or skill required to hold the stage without backup.
Examples
He is singing a solo on stage tonight.
Do you dare to sing a solo in front of so many people?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to describe singing alone in the shower or while doing chores, as those contexts are better described simply as 自己唱. It is strictly for performance-based solo singing.
