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!

Stacy’s MomFountains of Wayne

This is a smash hit released in 2003 by the American power-pop band Fountains of Wayne.

From the intro, the palm-muted power chords are irresistibly catchy and stick in your head.

The exhilarating riff is said to be an homage to The Cars, who influenced the songwriter.

Simple as it is, it gives the entire track a refreshing sense of drive.

The lyrics depict the bittersweet fantasies of a boy infatuated with his friend Stacy’s mom.

His ulterior motive—using excuses like “Can I come over after school?” just to see her—rides atop the bright, crisp guitar sound, turning it into an irresistibly endearing story.

ScumNapalm Death

This is a track by the legendary British band Napalm Death that hurls anger toward an unreasonable society and power as a violent mass of sound.

This historic song, in which the “fathers of grindcore” defined the genre itself, batters the eardrums with storm-like blast beats and an all-devouring roar.

The lyrics are impossible to catch at such speed, but, as symbolized by the skull on the cover emblazoned with corporate logos, the screams carry a searing critique of capitalism.

It’s easy to dismiss it as mere noise, but perhaps the truth we must not look away from lies in the soul’s cry behind this destructive impulse.

ScoopNASUM

This is a ferocious track from Nasum, the Swedish band often hailed as the “kings of grindcore.” The band themselves have called it a top-five song, and the anecdote that they felt its power as early as rehearsals suggests the extraordinary intensity poured into it.

The relentless, breathless barrage of drums and the guitar riffs that slice through the air amount to two minutes of pure sonic devastation.

The title “Scoop” may well contain a scathing critique of media that stokes the masses with sensationalist information.

Its message of rage, unmasking society’s deceptions, seems to shake the listener’s eardrums—and soul—directly.

Sung over a brisk, catchy beat are regrets over mistakes made in youth and a piercing plea to “stay with me.” This track by Australia’s The Kid LAROI and Justin Bieber portrays, in a starkly direct way, the heart‑rending emotions felt at the moment you’re about to lose someone precious.

Many listeners likely find themselves painfully reminded of their own younger days by such unflinchingly honest cries from the heart.

Released in July 2021, the song is a single from The Kid LAROI’s mixtape “F*ck Love 3: Over You.” The fact that it topped the Billboard Hot 100 is proof that it resonated with young people around the world.

Put it on during a night of romantic turmoil and melancholy, and it’s sure to keep you company.

Shy GuyDiana King

This is a song that became a global hit as the theme for the 1995 film Bad Boys.

Sung by Jamaican artist Diana King, the track fuses reggae and R&B.

It was included on her debut album, Tougher Than Love, and was loved in many countries, reaching No.

13 on the U.S.

charts.

The lyrics depict the passionate feelings of a woman smitten with a reserved man.

You can practically see her falling for the contrast between his shyness in public and his boldness when they’re alone.

As it turns out, Diana wrote the lyrics in just ten minutes.

Put it on as driving music and your mood is sure to lift.

Why not give it a listen and reminisce about the good old days?
