Q. like when i am listening to the beat, how do i block that but i wanna record my vocals?
Answer
Different headphones might help, ones that fully cover your ears and maybe have a little better isolation. You can turn the mix down so the headphones are a little quieter. You could step away from the mic a little or turn the gain down. You will have to sing louder, though. You could use a noise gate.
Most, or all of this might be unnecessary, though. It's not uncommon to have a little headphone bleed on the track. The level is usually low enough, though, that it doesn't hurt the final mix.
I'm pretty amateurish at this, but I do have a small home studio. You can usually hear the background music if you solo the vocal tracks (I like a fairly loud mix in the headphones to help me stay on pitch) but the end product still comes out fine.

Why do singers wear headphones when recording a song?
If they wear headphones (playing the background music of the song they are singing), wouldn't it be bad for them because if they wear the headphones, they cannot hear themselves singing.
Why? Please help! Thanks alot!

The main purpose of headphones is to avoid having the microphone they are singing into pickup the background track. Typically you want very clean tracks without any bleed int them. Each singer can hear their own voice plus the backing track in their headphones.
Most studios also provide a small mixer that allows the singer to adjust how loud they hear each instrument and their own voice in the headphones.
Some singers, like Bjork, prefer not to use headphones at all and instead actually sing while listening to the mix over the studio monitors
