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.

PRESSUREMachine Gun Kelly

PRESSUREMachine Gun Kelly

In recent years, MGK—Machine Gun Kelly—has been seen less as a rapper and more as a rock star, a key figure in reviving 2000s pop-punk for the 2020s and enjoying worldwide popularity in that role.

However, in his May 2023 release “PRESSURE,” he showcases his rapper side.

Leading up to the track’s release, he dropped a freestyle dissing Jack Harlow, which likely reminded many people that Kelly is, indeed, a rapper.

Musically, while the song is anchored by a trap-style beat, it stands apart from the TikTok-friendly, just-over-two-minute format: it runs over four minutes and intriguingly shifts through three different beat patterns.

For those who now only know Kelly as the guy with a guitar singing pop-punk, this track is a great chance to refocus attention on Kelly the rapper.

Por La NocheMala Rodríguez

When it comes to artists mixing traditional flamenco with nuevo flamenco today, many people probably think of Rosalía.

But in fact, she isn’t the pioneer.

Mala Rodríguez, who sings “Por La Noche,” is known as the first female artist to blend hip-hop and flamenco.

Compared to Rosalía, her music leans more heavily into hip-hop, so it’s a style that might especially appeal to fans of Chicano rap.

Payphone (Cutmore Remix)Maroon 5

This track is packed with the appeal of dance music.

Centered on the theme of heartbreak, it portrays a man’s feelings as he tries to call his ex from a payphone.

The poignant emotion conveyed by the lyrics blends perfectly with the dance beats added in the remix, making it resonate with listeners.

It’s a remix version of Payphone released in 2012, included on Maroon 5’s album Overexposed.

It gained popularity in clubs and party scenes, and is recommended for those who want to enjoy shuffle dancing.

It might also be fun to come up with choreography or dance together with friends.

Peace SellsMegadeth

Megadeth’s classic “Peace Sells” is a powerful anti-war and politically conscious work featured on the 1986 album Peace Sells…

but Who’s Buying?.

Dave Mustaine’s sharp social commentary explodes over razor-edged guitar riffs, profoundly stirring listeners.

Especially amid today’s unstable international climate, the song’s message has lost none of its relevance.

Beyond its provocative lyrics, its highly refined thrash metal sound has also earned wide acclaim.

As a voice calling for peace and understanding, it’s a track that deserves to be heard now more than ever.

Midnight Oil’s “Put Down That Weapon,” a single from their landmark album Diesel and Dust, has continued to impact listeners worldwide since its 1987 release.

The song places strong emphasis on the issues of violence and the need for nuclear disarmament, carefully crafting a message that truly resonates.

Especially amid today’s rising geopolitical tensions, the track takes on new meaning.

Midnight Oil’s passionate yet finely balanced call for peace offers a powerful prompt to confront the problems facing the world.

Highly recommended for all listeners who long for a world without war!

Permanent DecemberMiley Cyrus

A song that beautifully captures the chill of winter and the ache of unrequited love is included on Miley Cyrus’s album “Can’t Be Tamed.” Incorporating elements of electropop and dance-pop, it features a disco-inspired beat and distinctive synth sounds.

The lyrics, which express regret over lost love and a sense of loneliness, candidly reflect Cyrus’s emotions and resonate deeply with listeners.

The album was released in June 2010, reached No.

3 on the U.S.

Billboard 200, and was certified Gold.

It’s a track I highly recommend to anyone grappling with the pain of love and emotional conflict.

How about keeping it company on a winter night spent alone?
