The voice
Conan Gray is a light tenor whose recorded range is commonly cited at roughly F#2–A5, the top of it in a pure, thin falsetto that he uses as a signature colour. His voice is youthful and slightly breathy, with a bright, forward vowel placement and a noticeable emotional crack on big lyrics that fans adore. He moves between an intimate, almost whispered chest voice on verses and an airy head voice on choruses, and the contrast is the whole point on songs like Heather and Maniac.
The catalogue sits high for a lot of male singers, not because of belts but because of where the choruses live. Heather ranges about F3–C5 and the C5 is a soft head-voice note, not a belt. If you sing it in chest voice you will strain; if you flip too early you lose the warmth of the verse. The skill is a gentle, connected transition somewhere around G4–A4. Practise sliding up through the break on a hum, keeping the volume low, and let the falsetto stay airy on purpose, because that fragility is part of the style.
Range moments worth studying
Heather
Sits within about F3–C5, with the ‘wish I were Heather’ line floating up to C5 in a light head voice.
Maniac
Chest-voice verses in the middle of the staff jump into a bouncing, higher chorus with quick falsetto flips on the title word.
Memories
A ballad that builds from a low, spoken-style opening to a full, emotional chorus near the top of his chest range.
Wish You Were Sober
Driving pop with a chorus that sits around the upper-middle of the voice and drops into a huskier register for the verses.

Can you sing it?
Tenors and altos will find the original keys workable; baritones may want to drop the choruses by a few semitones. Start with Heather, which stays within F3–C5 and rewards a light, honest delivery. A range label only tells you the edges. Whether a song feels good depends on where its melody sits.
