A collection of Western songs with titles that start with numbers

In this article, I’ll be introducing classic Western songs whose titles begin with numbers.

When it comes to number-starting titles, some consist of numbers only, while others have words following the numbers.

If you’re knowledgeable about Western music, you might already have a few songs in mind.

That said, we don’t often search for songs by categories like “titles that start with XX,” so this could be a great chance to discover wonderful tracks you didn’t know before.

Take this opportunity to listen to a variety of songs!

Don’t you think songs that gently embrace our failures are wonderful? With that in mind, I’d like to introduce “1 Step Forward, 3 Steps Back.” This track is by Olivia Rodrigo.

The title, taken literally, means “one step forward, three steps back.” It sings of a woman’s bittersweet feelings in a romance where her partner keeps pulling away, as well as the regret of “I wish I’d done this or that.” If you’ve been through something similar, I think it will resonate with you especially deeply.
