A compilation of Western songs with titles starting with 'N'

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

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

That said, there are plenty of English words that start with “N,” like “New,” “No,” “Night,” and “Need,” all of which sound like they’d make great song titles.

In this article, I’ll introduce lots of songs with titles that start with “N,” regardless of era or genre.

By exploring music from a perspective you haven’t tried before, you might discover some new favorites.

Compilation of Western songs with titles starting with 'N' (321–330)

Nackskott (Neckshot)Lifelover

Lifelover, which includes Kim Carlsson—also the mastermind behind Hypothermia—is a very intriguing band: despite being categorized as so-called depressive black metal, it has almost none of the genre’s typical black metal elements.

Their 2006 debut album Pulver, while featuring provocative artwork, eschews the stereotypically black-metal monochrome cover for something vividly colored that feels insane in a different way—and you’ll understand their uniqueness once you actually hear the music.

The opening track Nackskott features a post-punk-like ensemble, and throughout the album each song is compactly constructed; despite avant-garde developments, you can hear not only post-punk but even indie rock approaches, which is truly fascinating.

While the lo-fi sound production is certainly black-metal-like, the scream-like vocals, compared to other depressive black metal acts, often feel closer to singing—making it clear that Kim deliberately differentiates Lifelover from his other projects.

If you enjoy blackgaze or post-black, Lifelover’s music may be relatively accessible.

Sadly, in 2011, one of the central members, Jonas Bergqvist—known as “B”—took his own life, and the band chose to disband.

The much-talked-about Italy-based DJ Like Mike, the ever-familiar Giuseppe Ottaviani, and HEREON released their track “Nothing Else Matters” in February 2024.

With its comfortable beat and energetic melody, this dance tune leaves a strong impression, showcasing a superb fusion of the trio’s musical styles.

The title suggests something special at its core, hinting at deep emotions woven into the piece.

One listen and your body will start moving—no doubt about it.

It’s guaranteed to lift the mood at summer parties and set club floors ablaze.

It’s also perfect when you want to add some color to your everyday life—a single track that transports you to an extraordinary world just by listening.

A track defined by its lively beat and catchy flow is bringing a fresh breeze to the hip-hop scene.

The confident lyrics of the young rapper emphasize his own success and what sets him apart from others.

Released in October 2024 through a partnership between Lil Mosey’s label, Love U Forever, and Cinq Music, the song dropped alongside its music video on the same day.

It quickly drew attention, racking up roughly 170,000 views on YouTube soon after release.

This work fully showcases Lil Mosey’s signature style.

It’s a must-listen not only for those drawn to his sound, but for hip-hop fans in general.

Speaking of Lil Nas X from the United States, he’s the artist who scored a global hit with “Old Town Road” in 2019.

His new song, released in November 2024, starts with a piano melody and then unfolds into a drum and bass beat—an intriguing sound that sets it apart from his previous work.

The music video was released at the same time and is a must-see.

Directed by Andrew Donoho, the visuals offer a striking depiction of Lil Nas X’s evolving musical style.

This is his first new track since his 2021 debut album, Montero, and it’s sure to be a long-awaited release for fans.

NovemberLil Peep

Lil Peep, the rapper who passed away in 2017.

The song “November” is included on his posthumous album Diamonds.

It’s a track he worked on with music producer iLoveMakonnen, and it carries a somewhat lonely atmosphere.

Specifically, it describes losing a loved one in an already chilly November and feeling as if even one’s heart has gone cold.

Also, pay close attention to the beautiful choral parts.

I’d like to introduce “Need Me” as a song that captures the complex emotions of being in love.

It’s a track by American next-generation rapper Lil Tecca, released as the lead single from his album TEC.

In the song, he expresses longing for someone while being unable to show his feelings honestly, and conveys a sense of staying connected at heart even when apart.

It’s a slow-tempo hip-hop track, recommended for those who want to focus on the lyrics or are looking for a laid-back hip-hop listening experience.

Rapper Lil Tjay made a miraculous comeback from a shootout in September 2022.

Since then, he’s boosted his props even further and gained popularity among many heads.

Among his tracks, the one I especially recommend for January is New Year’s Resolution.

The Japanese title means “New Year’s Resolution,” and it captures the determination he had as a rapper while he was breaking out in 2018.
