Words that rhyme with Choose
As a one-syllable word, choose sits on the rounded /uห/ and ends in a hissed consonant. It's an unremarkable word until the verse asks it to do something. Its job in a lyric is a household-word, holding down whatever line it lands in. Songwriters who arrive looking for what rhymes with choose find the same uneven map: there's no shortage of perfect matches, nothing lands in the family-rhyme column, and the slant pool, matched on vowel alone, is huge. Lean on the strict column for the hooks; the slants can colour the verses.

Why choose rhymes the way it does
Pull choose apart phonetically and you get a one-syllable word with a back /uห/ (/uห/) as the rhyme-bearing vowel; the close tails through a fricative. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 120 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 164, assonance 3,541, and consonance 629. That's a deep perfect column. The song can ride strict rhymes from end to end, only sliding into assonance when the line needs to surprise. What matters when you're writing: the ear forgives slants in service of meaning. If the strict rhyme is the predictable word, the assonance match will usually hit harder. Choose is a word where the slant choice almost always reads as more thoughtful than the obvious end-rhyme.
