Question:

Asalamualaikum, can we sing a song when we are alone, or just the tune of that song without any musical instruments? 

Answer:

Bismillah

In the name of Allah, the most Beneficent, the most Merciful.

If some poetic compositions are recited in a pleasing voice, and the reciting person is not a woman, and the subject of the poetry recited is also not vulgar or indecent, then it is permissible to recite it.  (Maariful Qur’an p.36 v.7)
