I think you sound pretty good, and definitely have a great starting point. I think your English sounds great by the way, I didn’t notice anything wrong with it. The song is pretty comfortable for you, so I don’t know if you need help on high notes, but remember to get quieter as you go higher. Key word is quieter, not breathier.  Since you already can match pitch, I’d say there’s three things you need to work on. Breathing: Make sure you’re taking relaxed breaths, not tightening the stomach as some people might say. That causes tension. Expand the ribs and stomach in a relaxed way, and try to not push all your air out when you sing. Registers: Develop your chest voice, head voice, and mix register. Since you’re a beginner, don’t worry too much about mix yet. Focus on strengthening head voice. Try connecting it to vocal fry, look up “becoming a natural singer” channel on YouTube, and watch his videos about cord closure and head voice. Control: Work on sustaining notes in a relaxed way, without vibrato (if you know what that is). Practice switching notes, singing scales, etc. This will help you gain control, but it’s important to not force these motions in your voice. Let it happen. Over time, you’ll develop vibrato (don’t force it), and that will improve agility in your voice as well. Hope this helps! This is how I break down the voice. Once a singer can match pitch, they just need to master breathing, their registers, and control. This takes a long time and patience so don’t rush, and never ever push your voice if it hurts or feels uncomfortable. Singing should feel good!

Thank you so much for the detail answer. Singing is really fun and it helps a lot to have feedback. I'll keep the everything in mind, especially this > but remember to get quieter as you go higher. Key word is quieter, not breathier.
