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.

Hail the Sun, a band immensely popular in the post-hardcore scene, captivates countless listeners with their intricate ensemble—akin to math rock and often called “Swancore”—and Donovan Melero’s explosively emotional vocals.

Ahead of their October 2025 album release, cut.turn.fade.back., they unveiled this track.

It delivers a searing portrayal of human conflict perpetuated under the banner of “liberation,” and the deceit lurking behind it.

It’s a track likely to resonate not only with fans of technical bands, but also with listeners drawn to music with a powerful message.

The Future Sound of London are an electronic duo who combine contrasting talents—technology and melody.

This piece boldly uses samples from Run-D.M.C., where hip-hop aggression and rock-style guitar riffs collide fiercely—an explosively energetic track, indeed.

Its cool, hard-edged sound was featured in the popular game wipE’out 2097 and the film Mortal Kombat: Annihilation, and it reached No.

12 on the UK Singles Chart.

Its destructive beats and distorted basslines are sure to win over rock fans as well!
