A compilation of Western songs with titles starting with 'N'

When it comes to songs with titles that start with “N,” do any come to mind?

We don’t usually pay much attention to the first letter of a song title, so you might not think of one right away.

That said, there are plenty of English words that start with “N,” like “New,” “No,” “Night,” and “Need,” all of which sound like they’d make great song titles.

In this article, I’ll introduce lots of songs with titles that start with “N,” regardless of era or genre.

By exploring music from a perspective you haven’t tried before, you might discover some new favorites.

A roundup of Western songs with titles starting with “N” (11–20)

This commercial highlights that NSW has reached its 60th anniversary since its founding and conveys the company’s desire to keep growing.

Featuring Hana Sugisaki standing alone at a scramble crossing, the visuals carefully showcase the surrounding cityscape, evoking a grand sense of hope for the future.

The music that further accentuates the calm yet sweeping atmosphere of these scenes is Billy Joel’s “New York State of Mind.” With gently resonant piano layered under a tender vocal, its tranquil mood also conveys a sense of human warmth.

Moonchild is a neo-soul trio with a background from a prestigious jazz school, and their sophisticated sound has earned high praise from R&B aficionados around the world.

Their collaboration with soul legend Jill Scott and lyricist Rapsody may well be this track released in September 2025.

It’s a liberating anthem that rejects existing only for someone else and declares one’s own strength.

Over Moonchild’s characteristically warm and luxurious sound, the three distinct voices blend beautifully.

It’s their first single since the Grammy-nominated 2022 album “Starfruit,” signaling the dawn of a new chapter.

On nights when you feel bound by something, it will quietly give you strength.

Drake, a top star representing Canada who also runs his own label.

PARTYNEXTDOOR, known as a talent he discovered, has been his longtime ally.

The track included on their collaborative album “$ome $exy $ongs 4 U” was released in February 2025.

It’s a number that fully showcases Drake’s cheerful mindset of not caring about musical rivalries and just wanting to hype up the party, and it’s worth noting that Billboard critics praised it, saying “Daft Punk would be proud.” The section where the beat slows down in the second half is unique as well.

Its popularity is the real deal, reaching No.

20 on the Australian charts.

Put it on when you want to get together and go wild with friends, and the floor is guaranteed to heat up!

If you want to immerse yourself in a gothic, majestic atmosphere, this is the track for you! It’s a song by The Sisters of Mercy, a band that symbolizes the UK post-punk scene, released back in 1985.

Over the cold, resonant beat of a drum machine, a wistful guitar tone rings out.

With Andrew Eldritch’s deep, beautiful baritone, it portrays a solitary protagonist who faces a harsh reality, declaring there’s no time to wallow in sorrow.

The track unfolds with a dark, introspective sound.

Featured on the classic album First and Last and Always, it’s also gained attention for being used in season 2 of the hit series Wednesday.

Perfect as BGM for a sophisticated Halloween party! Pair it with a cool costume and set the tone for a night with a hint of shadow.

Girlband, a band currently drawing attention on the UK rock scene.

Hailing from Nottingham, they deliver indie punk that combines the punch reminiscent of riot grrrl with a pop sensibility.

Among their releases, the one you should definitely hear is their debut single, released in February 2024.

It channels feelings of alienation in a small town and the struggle to find one’s true self, sung over a powerful sound.

The catchy, sing-along chorus is also striking.

The music video featuring actor Bella Ramsey has become a hot topic as well.

It’s an anthem that lifts up anyone who’s ever felt out of place or longed to embrace who they are.

NEED YOUNEMZZZ

NEMZZZ – NEED YOU (OFFICIAL AUDIO)
NEED YOUNEMZZZ

Nemzz, born in 2004 and hailing from Manchester, is gaining attention as a rising rapper.

He’s popular for a style that blends UK drill and hip-hop.

From his mixtape “Do Not Disturb,” I’d like to introduce a track that evokes the bittersweetness of youth.

Released in March 2024, the mixtape topped the UK R&B Albums Chart.

The work portrays a complicated relationship with a particular person.

It captures the frustrating feelings of youth—wanting to get closer but being unable to—with sparse lyrics and a spacious beat.

The lyrics and wistful melody match beautifully, making it easy to slip into its world.

It’s recommended for those who can’t forget someone, or for nights when you want to sink into a slightly sentimental mood.

With a single live video released in May 2021, The Linda Lindas captured the hearts of rock fans around the world.

Taking their name from a Japanese film, they’re a punk band from Los Angeles made up of teenage members.

From their album “No Obligation,” let’s spotlight a coming-of-age track where sparkle and wistfulness coexist.

The song voices a feeling of frustration—almost resignation—that even if you try to change something, the world might not change at all.

Yet it gently stays by the side of that powerlessness, ultimately becoming an anthem that affirms small acts of resistance and step-by-step action.

Its contrast between sweet-and-sour, ’50s-style girl-group choruses and a breakneck punk sound sharpens the song’s bittersweet message.

When you’re down about your own limitations, listening to it will surely give you the courage to look ahead.
