Songs with titles starting with “No” (Perfect for karaoke and shiritori!)

You probably can’t immediately think of many song titles that start with “no,” can you?

There are relatively many words you don’t often hear in everyday life, and lots of them have English titles.

Things like “Nobody…,” “Note,” “NOT…,” and so on.

There are also memorable masterpiece tracks that symbolize the artists themselves.

I’ve put together a list of song titles that might be useful when you want to look something up—just a bit…!

Feel free to use it not only when you’re curious about what songs start with “no,” but also as a prompt for shiritori word games or when choosing songs at karaoke.

NonfictionHoney L Days

Speaking of wheelchair track athlete Tomoya Ito, he’s a remarkable wheelchair racer who competed at the Athens, Beijing, and London Paralympics, winning two gold medals and three silver medals.

Although he once announced his retirement, he made a comeback aiming for the Tokyo 2020 Paralympics, and it’s still fresh in our memory that he carved out a new legend by being selected to represent Japan as a wheelchair racer.

As a cheer song for Ito, the Japanese vocal duo Honey L Days created “Nonfiction,” released in 2020.

True to their reputation as masters of motivational anthems, it’s a powerful and catchy track that fills you with energy just by listening.
