A collection of Western songs with titles starting with “I”

This is a tribute song to The Notorious B.I.G., who passed away in 1997, released by Puff Daddy together with Faith Evans and 112.

It boldly samples the melody of The Police’s classic “Every Breath You Take,” blending a gospel-like grandeur with the warmth of R&B.

The lyrics poignantly express feelings for a loved one who can no longer be seen and reflect on the days spent together.

Released in May 1997, it spent 11 consecutive weeks at No.

1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

It won in the rap category at the following year’s Grammy Awards.

It’s a perfect song for farewells with friends or for graduation ceremonies where you want to express gratitude for the time you’ve shared.

Haven is a dance project led by London-based producer Harrison Walker.

Their track “I Run” is a high-energy song that fuses UK garage beats with airy, floating synths.

It conveys a heartfelt feeling of pushing forward—running on despite the suffocating tangle of everyday life—and the groove is irresistible.

Released as a single in October 2025, it quickly became a global viral hit on social media, racking up 10 million views on TikTok in less than a week.

The production, which incorporated AI techniques, also sparked significant debate.

Give it a listen as a soundtrack for a night drive or your next run.

Best known for global hits like “Price Tag,” she released her much-anticipated album “Don’t Tease Me with a Good Time” in November 2025.

The song drew major attention after her passionate performance at the Royal Variety Performance in November 2025, and it showcases Jessie J’s delicate breathwork and profound sorrow in a way that hits you right in the heart.

Formed in London in the late 1990s, Baxendale is a trio led by Tim Benton, known for blending indie pop with dance music.

The track introduced here is a fan favorite remixed by Michael Mayer of the renowned German label Kompakt and released as a 12-inch in August 2005.

Boldly fragmenting and looping the original’s catchy vocals and weaving them into a sophisticated beat, this piece achieves a striking balance between pop sensibility and minimalism.

Also included on the album Total 6, this track is a masterpiece highly recommended for anyone who wants to immerse themselves in a soothing whirl of sound that crosses the boundary between techno and pop.

Gracie Abrams, a singer-songwriter whose delicate vocals resonate with many, is the daughter of film director J.J.

Abrams.

Known for joining Taylor Swift’s tour, she released a ballad in April 2020 that I’d like to introduce.

Featured on her debut EP Minor, the track is marked by a quiet soundscape woven from piano and strings.

It portrays complex emotions—longing for an ex while feeling guilty for ending the relationship.

It also gained attention for being used in season 2 of the Netflix series Ginny & Georgia.

It’s the kind of song you’ll want to listen to alone on a quiet night, gently comforting anyone hesitating over whether to reach out to a former lover.

This track, added to the deluxe edition of singer-songwriter Jessie Murph’s debut album Sex Hysteria, is a serene alternative R&B number that portrays the cycle of pain and codependent love passed down across generations.

While carrying trauma inherited from family, the protagonist finds themselves repeating the same patterns—a story conveyed poignantly through a husky vocal and delicate piano.

Released in November 2025, the song features contributions from powerhouse Nashville songwriters including Laura Veltz, who helped craft its narrative-driven lyrics.

It carefully depicts the struggle of staying in a relationship despite knowing it will hurt, and the gap between the illusion of being able to change someone and the reality.

It’s a track especially worth hearing for anyone grappling with dependency in relationships or feeling on the verge of losing themselves.

I Don’t CareMegadeth

Megadeth, masters of thrash metal with a career spanning over 40 years.

Released in November 2025, this track is the second single from their final album, “Megadeth,” slated for release in January 2026.

As Dave Mustaine himself says, “This is a punk song,” it trades technical complexity for immediacy and message, resulting in a stripped-down, straightforward piece.

The lyrics portray a way of life untouched by others’ judgments and a sardonic view of a society full of falsehoods, distilling the defiant spirit they’ve cultivated over the years.

A music video centered on skate culture has also been released, intercutting images of unruly youth with the band’s performance.

It’s a track that encapsulates Megadeth’s unapologetic aesthetic as they head into their final tour.
