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.

WHO DECIDES WARMeek Mill

The American rapper Meek Mill’s track released in September 2024 delves deeply, within a brief runtime of about two minutes, into his inner conflicts and the dangers of street life.

Over a melodic beat, he reflects on his past and his feelings about survivor’s guilt, and, set against the harsh environment of South Philadelphia, he weaves in social commentary—such as comparing today’s societal turmoil to the war in Gaza.

While the piece evokes his earlier work, it places a stronger emphasis on introspection, making it an important project in which Meek Mill explores contemporary social and personal issues through the lens of his own experiences.
