A compilation of Western songs with titles starting with “U”

When it comes to songs that start with “U,” what tracks come to mind for you?

In addition to songs that begin with words like “Up” or “Under,” which indicate direction, there are also plenty of songs that start with “Un—,” a prefix that carries a negative meaning.

You’ll also come across titles that use words like “Urban” or “Ultra,” and some that replace “You” with “U.”

In this article, we’ll introduce a wide range of Western songs that start with “U.”

You might not often search for songs grouped by the initial letter, but we hope you’ll enjoy reading this article as a fun opportunity to do just that.

Compilation of Western songs with titles starting with 'U' (341–350)

United We DanceVicetone

With its exciting sound, from the very beginning you feel like something is about to start, and once the chorus kicks in, it keeps lifting you up.

I think it’s a quintessential dance music sound.

For now, throw this track on after work and head out to the club.

Underwater BoyVirna Lindt

Virna Lindt, who emerged with the image of a “mysterious spy girl from Scandinavia.” While many of her tracks have a Shibuya-kei-like sound, this particular song is a curious hidden gem: the world conjured by its synths, bass, chorus-laden guitar, and steady, understated drums can truly be described as ambient.

UndertowWarpaint

Warpaint, an indie rock band based in Los Angeles, was formed in 2004.

This track was released as a single in 2010 from the album The Fool, which reached No.

1 on the UK charts, and the track itself peaked at No.

30 in the UK.

The producer King Jammy, who had a major influence on dancehall reggae, created the famous riddim “Sleng Teng” using a sound from a Casiotone.

Over that riddim, Wayne Smith laid lyrics he had been working on, completing the track.

Inspired by depression, it depicts a slow descent into madness.

It’s the debut single released in 1994 by the American alternative band Weezer.

The catchy melody ironically enhances the sense of dread.

A song covered by Ireland’s Westlife that was originally a hit single by Billy Joel.

It’s the kind of classic standard you might hear playing in an American burger joint.

I recommend it for mornings when you’re not feeling it—it’ll likely give you a boost.

Wet Leg, the self-titled debut released in April 2022 that hit No.

1 on the charts in their home country of the UK, is the most talked-about female duo right now.

While rooted in post-punk, their irresistibly catchy melodies and riffs, along with their brilliantly sardonic lyrics, have drawn major attention in Japan as well, and they’ve already scheduled their first solo shows here in 2023.

Their song “Ur Mum,” a single released just before the album dropped, is a killer tune that opens with a scathing message to an ex and features a ferocious mid-song shout from vocalist Rhian Teasdale.

As Rhian has said she wrote it “to calm my own anger,” the track captures the image of a strong woman determined to face forward and move on to the next step.

If you want to rise without looking back at the past, give this song a listen and draw courage from it!
