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

In this article, I’ll be introducing classic Western songs whose titles start with the letter “P.” When you think of English words that begin with “P,” terms like “Peace,” “Party,” and “Picture” come to mind—some of you might already be thinking of a few songs just from seeing those words.

I don’t think many of us have had the chance to specifically seek out and listen only to songs that start with a particular letter.

But looking at them this way might help you discover tracks you didn’t know or lead to new findings.

I’d be delighted if this becomes an opportunity for you to encounter some new music.

A roundup of Western songs with titles starting with “P” (131–140)

This is a track released in September 2010 by the American indie pop band Foster the People.

They’re known for a style that blends catchy sounds with social messages.

Despite its irresistibly danceable, feel-good beat, this work delivers a shocking narrative about the dark impulses and vengeful feelings of a lonely young man.

Don’t you sense a biting irony in the brutal gap between the sound and the lyrics, one that lays bare the pathologies of modern society? It became a major hit, spending eight consecutive weeks at No.

3 on the Billboard Hot 100, yet its themes also led to cases of broadcast self-restraint.

It’s a song I especially recommend to those who want to experience the depth that pop music can hold.

pray4dagangA$AP Rocky & KayCyy

This is a collaboration between A$AP Rocky, a New York native leading the hip-hop scene, and Kenya-born rising star KAYCYY.

The heavy, cinematic soundscape crafted by James Blake and others is stunning.

It portrays deeply personal emotions—like a father’s profound love and struggles with the past, akin to a prayer—that truly move the listener.

Released as a lead single from the album DON’T BE DUMB, Rocky’s first since the 2018 classic TESTING, it quickly became a major talking point.

There’s also anticipation around its connection to the film Highest 2 Lowest, in which A$AP Rocky appears, making future developments impossible to ignore.

It’s a track you’ll want to sit with on a quiet night when you’re ready to face yourself.

Here’s a new track from Brent Faiyaz, the hugely popular American R&B singer known for taking the No.

2 spot on the U.S.

charts with his album Wasteland.

He sings about the struggle of growing up and the love he feels for his partner, mapping his wavering heart onto the story of an eternal boy.

The bittersweet feeling of “If only I could be by your side, I could love you with all my heart” resonates through his delicate vocals and warm production.

Released simultaneously with the confident track Tony Soprano, it offers a striking contrast that showcases the artist’s multifaceted appeal.

If you’re wrestling with how close or distant to be with someone important, this song is sure to stay by your side.

Pleasure To KillKreator

Pleasure To KillKreator

A quintessential work by Germany’s proud thrash metal band Kreator! The title track of the landmark album “Pleasure to Kill,” released in November 1986, remains a shocker that people still talk about.

Astonishingly, its theme is the urge to kill depicted from a zombie’s perspective! With lyrics so extreme they seem to blow away the listener’s reason, and a ruthlessly destructive sound that smashes everything in its path, it’s nothing short of overwhelming.

Mille Petrozza’s screams and savage riffs, fused with Ventor’s storm-like drumming, pull the listener into a maelstrom of chaos.

The album’s influence is clear, too—tracks from it have even been featured in popular video games.

When you want to blast away your daily frustrations, why not surrender yourself to this ultimate force of destruction?

Public ImagePublic Image Ltd

This is the debut single that put Public Image Ltd—the British band formed by John Lydon after leaving the Sex Pistols—on the map.

Its spacious sound, completely different from punk, must have drawn a lot of attention for its originality when it was released in 1978.

Jah Wobble’s rolling bass and Keith Levene’s razor-sharp guitar create a unique tension.

The lyrics, which declare a break from media-fabricated illusions, lodge in your memory for years and still resonate powerfully today.

I’m sure there are people who found the courage to stay true to themselves after hearing this song!

A sibling three-piece based in Santa Monica, California, Speed of Light unleashes a rush of high-velocity alternative rock.

Released in July 2025, this work brilliantly fuses grunge distortion reminiscent of Nirvana with a funk-driven groove.

The lead vocalist’s soulful shouts—hurling pent-up pain and social frustration—are nothing short of breathtaking.

A proven live act who joined Bad Religion for 22 dates on their 2021 North American tour, the band’s tight, sibling-synergy ensemble shakes listeners to their core.

Crank it loud when you need to blast away the suffocating monotony of everyday life.

Pickin’ Up PiecesBrenda K. Starr

This is the debut single released in 1985 by Brenda K.

Starr, a New York–born artist from the United States.

At the time, she burst onto the music scene following a film appearance, and her powerful vocals left a strong impression.

Riding on a cutting-edge freestyle sound with heavy beats and shimmering synths, the song portrays a strong woman picking herself up after heartbreak.

Many listeners were surely encouraged by the lyrics about gathering the fragments of a broken heart and starting anew.

It’s a dance number that became the starting point of the brilliant career of the artist who would later be called the “Diva of Salsa.”
