A compilation of Western songs with titles that start with 'S'

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

We don’t usually pay attention to the first letter of a song title, so it might not be easy to think of examples right away.

However, there are plenty of English words that start with “S,” like “Start,” “Shake,” “Season,” and “Save.”

In this article, I’ll introduce many songs with titles beginning with “S,” regardless of era or genre.

You might discover something new by grouping songs in a way you haven’t considered before!
