A collection of Western songs with titles that start with “W”

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

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

That said, when it comes to English words starting with “W,” there are interrogatives like “What,” “Where,” and “Who,” and just from those alone, there must be plenty of songs!

There are also words like “Walk,” “Wonder,” and “Word,” which all sound like they could appear in song titles.

In this article, I’ll introduce lots of songs with titles that start with “W.”

By searching for music from a perspective you might not have considered before, you may discover new tracks.

On days when you look up at a cloudy sky, it might be nice to spend a moment facing the “longing” that sleeps deep in your heart.

This track, released in 2025 by Tennis—the husband-and-wife duo from Denver, Colorado—is the lead single from their album Face Down in the Garden.

Alaina Moore’s delicate yet resolute vocals intertwine with Patrick Riley’s retro synths and minimal guitar to create a sound like a scene from a film.

The lyrics, set against waterside imagery, leave a strong impression as they contemplate the idea that the path you chose ultimately circles back and guides you.

Carried by a relaxed beat, the song gently holds the weight of passion.

It’s a perfect track for quiet conversations with yourself under a cloudy sky.

The Twilight Sad, a post-punk band from Scotland.

Their new single in October 2025 marks their first release in about seven years since they began in 2003.

Robert Smith of The Cure contributes guitar on the track, making this a notable work born from the two acts’ long-standing relationship.

Centered on themes of loss and grief, it portrays the feeling of waiting for a life-changing phone call.

Frontman James Graham says that the seven-year creation process itself became an emotional anchor.

With walls of roaring guitars intersecting with icy synths, the sound reflects their evolution since the 2019 album It Won/t Be Like This All the Time.

Kicking off with this release, they’re planning a European tour in 2026, and all eyes are on the band as they gear up for another major chapter.

Who’s Dat GirlAyra Starr, Rema

A long-awaited collaborative track by two of Nigeria’s leading musical talents, Ayra Starr and Rema, was released in October 2025.

Rooted in Afrobeats while incorporating R&B, dancehall, and even Middle Eastern soundscapes, the song represents the next generation of Afropop.

The meticulous production by LAGI and The Elements shines through, and the lyrics—brimming with self-assured presence—captivate listeners instantly.

It’s the perfect track to boost your energy at parties, on drives, or whenever you want to turn things up!

Welcome To The Working WeekElvis Costello

This song opens Elvis Costello’s landmark debut album, My Aim Is True, released in 1977 after he emerged from the late-’70s pub rock scene.

At the time, Costello was juggling office work alongside his music career, and he wrote it with a worker’s-eye sarcasm aimed at those in privileged positions.

In just 1 minute and 22 seconds, it fuses punk edge with a pop chorus to sharply capture the reality of being thrown into the “world of work.” The rough performance lends a sense of spontaneity, resulting in a track that resonates with people hustling through their day jobs.

Put it on every Monday morning, right as the workweek begins, and its sardonic empathy will give you a bracing push forward.

I want to crawl back home to the one I love—even if I have to drag my exhausted body—this song is like a prayer that longs only to return to a beloved.

Featured on Irish artist Hozier’s 2014 debut album “Hozier,” the track blends elements of blues, soul, and gospel, with church-like handclaps and a resonant, throaty vocal performance.

Released as a single in March 2015, it received high acclaim, including triple-platinum certification in the United States.

The lyrics, which claim that not even the grave can hold the body, draw from traditional gospel influences, delivering a moving message of salvation: that love transcends death amid burnout and loss born of labor.

It’s a song that will resonate especially with those worn out from work and sustained by the presence of someone precious.
