A collection of Western songs with titles starting with “J”
When it comes to songs with titles that start with “J,” do any come to mind?
We don’t usually pay much attention to the first letter of a song title, so it might be hard to think of one right away.
That said, there are plenty of English words that start with “J,” like “Joy,” “Just,” “Jet,” and “Jesus.”
In this article, I’ll introduce many songs with titles that begin with “J,” regardless of era or genre.
By exploring music from a perspective you may not have tried before, you might discover some new tracks.

John Wayne Gacy, JrSufjan Stevens
Sufjan Stevens plans to create albums themed around each of the 50 U.
S.
states, and this is a track from Illinois.
Its exquisitely beautiful melody and mellow vocals are striking.
However, the lyrics are about John Wayne Gacy, a serial killer who murdered 33 people and became infamous as the “Killer Clown.” It’s an unusual song.
John Rock And Roll SinclairTHE DOGS
A trio (including one female) that inherits the feral bloodline of Detroit’s thunderous rock.
Their jagged riffs and biting vocals are the very image of Detroit’s mad dogs.
Virtually unknown in the mainstream, yet a hidden gem of American punk!
JailbreakTHIN LIZZY
It’s a song by Thin Lizzy, the rock band also known as “heroes of Ireland.” It’s a classic rock number with cool guitar phrases.
The lyrics are full of words that speak for the youth.
It’s the title track from their 1976 album.
JUNGLETash Sultana
Tash Sultana is known as a highly skilled singer-songwriter.
In Australia, they occupy a similar position to Masayoshi Yamazaki in Japan—an agile artist who single-handedly handles composing and performing.
Above all, their appeal lies in their sophisticated musical sensibility.
They are an artist whose strength is complex musicality, marked by a distinctive sound that draws from a wide range of genres—from psychedelia and rock to neo-soul and reggae.
Jump Then FallTaylor Swift
This is a simple yet genuinely feel-good song included on the premium edition of Fearless, the second album released in 2008 by Taylor Swift, the most powerful female pop star of our time.
She originally rose to fame as a cutting-edge country musician, and this upbeat country-pop track retains a strong country flavor from that era.
If you only know her music from after she transitioned to a more contemporary pop sound, you might find this refreshingly new.
Jalebi BabyTesher x Jason Derulo
Indian-Canadian rapper Tesher, who released the TikTok smash hit “Jalebi Baby,” put out a new version of the song with singer-songwriter Jason Derulo, who is also hugely influential on TikTok.
It’s a cool track featuring salsa-style piano and Latin rhythms, with an appealing melody line that evokes a hint of India.
Released as a single in 2021, it has racked up over 100 million streams worldwide.
Johnny On The SpotTexas is the reason
You can find bands in every genre that became legends after releasing just a single album, and of course the ’90s emo-core scene had more than a few such groups.
Chief among them is Texas Is the Reason from New York State, formed in 1994 by members who had previously played in New York hardcore bands like Shelter and 108.
They released a self-titled debut EP the following year, put out splits with bands such as The Promise Ring, and in 1996 released their aforementioned debut album—only to break up, regrettably, in 1997.
Their first and final full-length from 1996, Do You Know Who You Are?, is a towering masterpiece and a legendary classic of emo-core—one that has a passionate following here in Japan as well.
The band’s tight yet supple ensemble playing, backed by members with serious experience, produced a string of gem-like songs and a distinctive guitar sound that was neither punk nor hardcore, effectively creating a template for ’90s emo-core.
In their aim to move away from the macho posture of hardcore, the husky vocals of Garrett Klahn—who would later form Solea—ignite melodies that overflow with fragile emotion.
Alongside the quintessentially ’90s quiet–loud dynamics, what I find especially compelling is that the music always rests on a rugged, rock-solid core.
Add to that the involvement of J.
Robbins—so closely associated with ’90s emo—as producer, and it bears repeating: this album stands as a monumental landmark of ’90s emo-core.
