A collection of Western songs with titles starting with “L”
When it comes to songs with titles that start with “L,” do any come to mind for you?
People don’t usually pay attention to the first letter of a song title, so it might not be easy to think of examples right away.
That said, when it comes to English words starting with “L,” there’s “Love,” and just that alone probably accounts for hundreds of songs.
There are also plenty of other words that seem likely to appear in song titles, like “Last,” “Lady,” and “Little.”
In this article, I’ll introduce lots of songs with titles that start with “L,” regardless of era or genre.

LowCiara, Diamond Platnumz
Ciara, who has showcased her multifaceted talents as a singer and model, has teamed up with Diamond Platnumz, a star representing Tanzania, to create this dance number.
The track brilliantly fuses Afrobeats and R&B into an exhilarating, high-energy piece.
You can practically picture them dancing low to the ground with passion, as their distinct personalities collide to produce a fresh kind of allure.
This song is included on the deluxe edition of her eighth studio album, “CiCi,” released in August 2025.
For those who love richly layered, cross-cultural sounds, this is an irresistible work.
La cumbia me está llamando (feat. La Perla)Nubya Garcia
Nubya Garcia, the saxophonist at the forefront of London’s jazz scene, is an innovative artist who traverses a wide spectrum of music while grounding her sound in Caribbean and Afro-diasporic roots.
Among her works, the track I’d like to recommend as restaurant background music comes from her debut album, Source.
This piece masterfully fuses the rhythms of Colombia’s traditional cumbia with contemporary UK jazz.
As the theme “Cumbia is calling me” suggests, it’s defined by a passionate sound that draws you in with an irresistible musical pull.
Released in August 2020, the acclaimed album Source was also nominated for the Mercury Prize.
Passionate yet refined, this track is a perfect fit for venues looking to set a stylish tone for a lively dinnertime atmosphere.
LoserTame Impala
Tame Impala, the project leading modern psychedelic rock.
The latest work from its de facto mastermind, Kevin Parker, is a must-check release.
Fresh off a Grammy win for his collaboration with Justice, he released this track in September 2025 as the lead single from Deadbeat, his first album in five years.
The song captures the mindset of someone for whom nothing seems to go right; while the theme leans toward self-loathing, it’s paired with a breezy, funky sound that creates a curious sense of uplift.
The music video, featuring actor Joe Keery, plays almost like a short film—another highlight.
This unique world where self-deprecation meets dance might actually leave you feeling energized.
Last Kind WordsGeeshie Wiley
Geeshie Wiley, the legendary blues singer known for leaving behind only a very small number of recordings and then vanishing, worked around 1930 with her partner Elvie Thomas.
Among the masterpieces she left us is a song that depicts the harrowing last words of a father heading off to war.
He tells them to let the birds feed on his remains, while the mother urges their daughter to stay strong.
A family in which despair and deep love are intertwined is woven through her shaded, haunting vocals and the plaintive strains of the guitar.
Originally released in July 1930, the track was later used in the documentary film “Crumb,” which led to its reevaluation.
It’s a must-hear for anyone who wants to experience the profound depth of the blues, a piece that seems to distill the joys and sorrows of life.
Les FleursMinnie Riperton
From an epic orchestral opening that feels like the start of a film, a one-of-a-kind voice rings out.
The singer is the legendary Minnie Riperton, known for her five-octave range.
After her work with a psychedelic soul band, she made her solo debut in September 1970 with the classic album Come to My Garden.
This piece is the track that opens the album, sung from the perspective of a flower about the renewal and rebirth of life.
Its dreamlike sound—where gospel and psychedelia meld—seems to draw listeners into a grand, story-like world.
Though it was not a commercial success at the time, it was later reassessed after being used in the films Us and Back to Black.
It’s a song to play when you want to step away from the everyday and immerse yourself fully in a musical world.
Live ForeverOasis
A band that epitomized ’90s Britpop, Oasis released this truly timeless classic in August 1994 from their debut album Definitely Maybe.
Standing apart from the despair-laden worldview of the then-dominant grunge scene, the song raises a powerful anthem of “affirming life.” Its lyrics, as if vowing eternity, sound like they sing of the invincible feeling of youth spent with irreplaceable friends, and of bonds that remain unshakable no matter what.
As the band’s first entry into the UK Top 10, this track will surely give you the courage to move toward the future while holding dear the precious memories you share with your friends.
It’s a hope-filled song to play when you want to reaffirm an irreplaceable friendship.
Lost in JapanShawn Mendes
The way it unfolds from a quiet piano intro into a groovy bassline evokes the shift from a late-summer dusk into night.
Sung by Canadian singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes, this track blends R&B and funk in a comfortably smooth mix—both a little bittersweet and irresistibly uplifting.
The lyrics portray a passionate urge to bridge the distance to a loved one far away, driven by a single-minded desire to see them.
That earnest emotion overlaps with the sentimental feeling of summer slipping away, hitting you right in the heart.
Released in March 2018 as a cut from the album “Shawn Mendes,” the song is also known for a music video that pays homage to the film “Lost in Translation.” On a night spent reminiscing about summer, listening as you watch the setting sun is sure to deepen the emotional mood even more.
