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.

This is a collaboration track between Jordan Ward, an American artist with the unique background of being a former dancer, and Jony, who’s gaining recognition for his diverse musicality—two leading figures in the new-generation R&B scene! Taken from the EP “JRNY,” which portrays the complexity of a relationship shifting from friendship to romance, the song’s theme is precisely “jealousy.” With nuances like “I want to have you all to myself, but I can’t give you all of me,” it cuts to the very core where selfishness and true feelings collide in love.

The calm, melancholic beat further highlights these unbalanced emotions, making it feel heart-wrenching to listen.

Many listeners will likely find themselves unconsciously projecting their own experiences onto this painfully real inner conflict.

A collaboration from two powerhouses leading the contemporary R&B scene: America’s Kiana Ledé and the UK’s Ella Mai! The raw confession—“I’ve never been the jealous type… but fine, I’m jealous”—pierces the heart as it strips away bravado.

Set over gentle acoustic guitar, the lyrics lay bare possessiveness and insecurity, inviting many listeners to see their own experiences reflected.

Their beautiful harmonies—described by the media as “hypnotic”—ironically sharpen the ache at the song’s core.

A poignant and beautiful R&B ballad that tenderly embraces feelings you’d rather not admit.

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.

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!

Jacqueline DubHugh Mundell

Hugh Mundell, the legendary Jamaican singer who passed away at the young age of 21.

This is a profound dub track from his album “Mundell,” released in January 1982.

Over the rock-solid rhythms crafted by producer Henry “Junjo” Lawes and the Roots Radics, fragments of sound mixed by Scientist float and drift.

Many listeners have surely been captivated by the way the original vocals—filled with feelings for a particular woman—echo dreamily through the mix.

Created at King Tubby’s studio, this work is truly a laboratory of sound.

Dim the lights a little, sway your body, and lose yourself in the magic of the music.

Hailing from the United States, Bad Omens is a band that captivates fans with a distinctive sound that defies the boundaries of metalcore.

Their sound world, where crushing heaviness intertwines with aching melodies, is pure craftsmanship.

Listening to their evolution, you might find yourself realizing, “Loud music can be this free,” and it’s hard to think that’s just your imagination.
