Collection of Western songs with titles starting with 'Y'

When it comes to English words that start with “Y,” the first one that probably comes to mind is “You,” meaning “あなた.” It’s also frequently used in song titles, and you often see titles like “Your ○○” or “You’re ~~.” In this article, I’ll introduce famous Western songs with titles that start with “Y.” We don’t usually search for songs by the first letter of the title, so you might discover tracks that haven’t caught your eye before.

Enjoy the article as you look forward to seeing what songs are out there.

Compilation of Western songs with titles starting with 'Y' (331–340)

This is the title track from Miley Cyrus’s 2017 album Younger Now.

Known for breaking away from her Disney Channel idol image and pushing her career forward by boldly showcasing a more mature, distinctive persona, Miley seemed to soften in 2017—perhaps thanks to happy times with her partner—and this song reflects that.

It’s an upbeat track that embraces her intense past while looking ahead to a fresh rebirth, overflowing with a happy mood.

This film is a spin-off of the Minions, who gained popularity in Illumination Entertainment’s Despicable Me series.

Titled “Minions,” it depicts the story from the Minions’ origins to their encounter with Gru.

The song “Y.M.C.A.” is used in the film as a tribute to Hideki Saijo.

Remarkably, as an animated movie, it became the second highest-grossing animated film worldwide, following “Frozen.”

You ProofMorgan Wallen

Morgan Wallen is a country musician who represents America.

After collaborating with rapper Lil Durk in 2019, he once again began attracting attention from younger audiences.

Among his songs, the one I especially recommend for being easy to sing is You Proof.

While he’s known for his punchy vocals, he holds back on this track, creating a relaxed atmosphere throughout.

As long as you learn the English lyrics well, it’s easy to sing even if you’re not a strong singer—so give it a try!

Even if you mainly listen to Japanese rock, there’s a good chance you’ve come across interviews where your favorite artists mention the word “shoegaze,” right? Pioneered by bands associated with the sound dubbed “neo-psychedelia” that emerged in the UK from the mid- to late 1980s, the most famous and important band in the shoegaze genre that took shape in the early 1990s is My Bloody Valentine.

They’re adored—one could say obsessively—by many Japanese artists, and among fans they’re affectionately known as “Mybra.” As for what defines their musicality, it’s the utterly original sonic world represented by their 1991 masterpiece Loveless, produced under an uncompromising perfectionism so intense it nearly bankrupted their then-label, Creation Records: multiple layers of noisy guitars fused with dreamlike melodies.

After releasing Loveless, the band remained silent for many years, but in 2008 they effectively reunited and even performed in Japan, and in 2013 they unexpectedly released a new album, m b v.

On March 31, 2021, their catalog returned to streaming services, and they also announced plans to release two new albums!

You Know What They Do to Guys Like Us in PrisonMy Chemical Romance

From the intro through the early section, this song carries My Chemical Romance’s signature eerie, classical atmosphere.

But from there it unfolds, revealing a punk side: heavily distorted guitars and a driving, fast-paced beat.

Yet it retains a trace of that classical eeriness, and this sense of balance is arguably their greatest appeal.
