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

When it comes to songs with titles that start with “J,” do any come to mind?

We don’t usually pay much attention to the first letter of a song title, so it might be hard to think of one right away.

That said, there are plenty of English words that start with “J,” like “Joy,” “Just,” “Jet,” and “Jesus.”

In this article, I’ll introduce many songs with titles that begin with “J,” regardless of era or genre.

By exploring music from a perspective you may not have tried before, you might discover some new tracks.

Olivia Rodrigo – jealousy, jealousy (Lyric Video)

Every time you open social media, do you ever feel like everyone but you is sparkling? “jealousy, jealousy” by Olivia Rodrigo, the American singer-songwriter leading today’s pop scene, is a song that anyone living in the modern era can’t help but relate to with a resounding “same!” It captures the painfully real feelings of comparing yourself to other people’s seemingly perfect lives and sinking into self-doubt.

From the unstable bassline that mirrors that inner restlessness to the explosive rock sound in the chorus, the progression is nothing short of breathtaking.

It feels like the song reassures you that the dark emotions everyone hides are “not all your fault,” blowing away that hazy gloom.

Rex Orange County – Jealousy (Audio)
JealousyREX ORANGE COUNTY

Jealousy, delivered by Rex Orange County, a singer-songwriter from the UK, offers a fresh perspective on the emotion of jealousy.

Set against an intimate, bedroom-pop sound, he softly repeats, “I hope you’re sleeping well.” On the surface, it overflows with tenderness and concern for the other person, but beneath those words quietly swirls the fear that they might be with someone else and the pain of not being able to have them all to oneself.

It’s not a blazing inferno, but a jealousy that smolders gently deep within the heart.

This song tenderly accompanies that complex, bittersweet feeling.

Jealousy (From the Vault)Tove Lo

A rare track from Swedish singer-songwriter Tove Lo, released after ten years! It’s a once-shelved song that was put away at the time of her debut for being “too pop,” and over a sparkling electropop sound she sings about a blazing fire of jealousy.

In her characteristically frank words, she lays out the possessiveness of not wanting to let anyone else have the one she loves and her raw feelings toward a rival.

When such messy jealousy is sung over a tune this pop, its rawness almost startles you.

Savor the striking imbalance between the bitter lyrics and the catchy melody!
