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.

Will Smith, the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania native who also shines as a globally recognized actor, has dropped a stellar summer tune in June 2025 that feels like a full-fledged return to the music scene.

The music video opens with a humorous scene of him in therapy, confessing, “I’ve always had a thing for pretty girls, and it’s been a problem,” and the song itself is a bright, catchy hip-hop number packed with positive messages celebrating self-affirmation and diversity.

It’s a standalone single not included on the album “Based on a True Story,” and with surprise live performances in London in June 2025, his activity is hard to look away from.

It’s the perfect track to elevate your summer mood and to experience Will Smith’s new musical venture.

Proto-CosmosTony Williams

Tony Williams, the American innovator who expanded the possibilities of jazz drumming and pioneered the fusion genre.

The piece composed by keyboardist Alan Pasqua and included on the New Tony Williams Lifetime’s 1975 classic album “Believe It” brims with a fierce energy that seems to guide the listener into an unknown cosmos.

The interplay between Tony’s signature complex rhythms and Allan Holdsworth’s fluid yet razor-sharp guitar is breathtaking, and the tightly condensed tension packed into roughly four minutes still delivers a fresh sense of astonishment today.

This thrilling performance is perfect for anyone who wants to experience a collision of high-level technique and soul.

An inspiring 2007 re-creation by the composer himself together with Holdsworth was also documented, making it a masterful performance that continues to shine across generations.

Emilie Nicolas, a Norwegian artist, has established a unique style that seamlessly blends a jazz-inflected vocal sensibility with electronic pop and R&B.

She made a striking impact on the music scene in 2013 with the single “Pstereo,” and her debut album released the same year, “Like I’m a Warrior,” topped the Norwegian charts.

She also boasts an impressive track record, having won the Spellemann Awards—often called Norway’s Grammys—four times, including Best Debut Album in 2014.

Although she temporarily paused her career due to health issues, she made a dazzling comeback with the 2018 album “Tranquille Emile.” Her soulful, emotionally rich voice brims with a charm that will especially resonate with listeners seeking music that accompanies the everyday.

Portland TownHeavenly

Heavenly, who emerged from Oxford, England, are a quintessential indie pop/twee pop band formed in 1989.

They went on hiatus in 1996 after the passing of their drummer, Mathew Fletcher, but joyfully reunited in 2023.

This song—their first in 29 years—features their signature sound: Amelia and Cathy’s charming twin vocals paired with shimmering guitar riffs.

The lyrics offer a warm cheer to those who feel a bit out of place in society, portraying the city of Portland as a refuge for everyone.

Set for release in June 2025, with a vinyl edition available in July, this track is one we hope not only longtime fans will enjoy, but also anyone looking for uplifting pop music.

With its wistful piano melody and sophisticated arrangement tinged with jazz, this beautiful number stirs the listener’s heart.

The song was released in June 2023 by Laufey, a young singer-songwriter from Iceland born in 1999.

Having been immersed in piano and cello since childhood and trained at the prestigious Berklee College of Music, she brings her dazzling background to this work, where she sings of unbreakable feelings for someone unforgettable and the inner turmoil they cause, carried by a gorgeous piano line.

Her expressive power resonates deeply with listeners.

Included on the same year’s album “Bewitched,” it has become one of her signature tracks—especially as she continues to garner attention, with a collaborative performance with the Los Angeles Philharmonic hitting theaters in 2024.

Be sure to give it a listen.
