You probably often listen to Western music and find yourself thinking, “This word shows up in titles a lot, doesn’t it?” The same goes for Japanese music, of course, but it’s interesting to see which words artists tend to favor.

In this article, I’ve researched and compiled songs—across genres—whose titles start with the everyday phrase “one two three.” Because it’s such a simple phrase, it might feel like only a few big hits come to mind, but is that really the case? Be sure to check out this article and see for yourself!

A compilation of Western songs with titles that start with “one two three” (1–10)

One, Two, Three, GO!Belanova

Belanova is an electropop band from Mexico.

As one of the country’s representative pop bands, they started with a more orthodox pop sound and now mainly release electropop tracks.

Among their songs, the one I especially recommend is “One, Two, Three, GO!” This track portrays a straightforward, passionate woman boldly trying to catch the attention of someone she likes.

The depiction of such daring advances—quite different from typical Japanese cultural norms—is unique, so be sure to check out the Japanese translation as well.

One Two Three!Lil Dude

In the youthful, energetic party track “One Two Three!,” Lil Dude showcases a vibrant beat that epitomizes his musical style.

The background sounds evoke a night-on-the-town vibe that lifts the listener’s spirits.

The lyrics depict the life of young people who embrace challenges and the pleasures of living, resonating strongly with modern listeners.

It’s a song that suits any setting and is guaranteed to hype up the crowd wherever it’s played.

One Two ThreeCilla Black

Cilla Black, a British female singer who also flourished as a host and actress.

She was a Liverpool-born artist active in the 1960s and even performed with Paul McCartney and John Lennon.

Among her works, the one I especially recommend is One Two Three.

This song portrays the feelings of a woman who, while exasperated by her lover’s baby-like innocence, still finds it endearing.

The melody perfectly matches those lyrics with its bright tone, so be sure to give it a listen.

One, Two, ThreeHendersin

Hendershin is a rapper known for his pop style.

Since he’s an unsigned artist, his name recognition is modest, but he’s gained support on platforms like SoundCloud thanks to his catchy sound.

Among his works, the one I especially recommend is “One, Two, Three.” It’s a very bright hip-hop track, featuring uplifting lyrics and production.

If gritty, underground hip-hop isn’t your thing, definitely give this a listen.
