A collection of Western songs with titles that start with “O”

When it comes to English words that start with “O,” there are plenty that sound like they could be song titles, such as “Open,” “One,” and “Only.” In this article, we’ll introduce classic Western songs whose titles begin with “O.” You probably don’t often search for songs by their initial letter, but once you try, you may discover tracks that hadn’t really caught your eye before.

In that sense, this article is something music lovers in particular will want to read.

Let’s dive in!

A roundup of Western songs with titles starting with 'O' (171–180)

Our TimeAngelina Jordan

Angelina Jordan, born in 2006 and hailing from Oslo, Norway, is a singer whose grandfather is Japanese.

She received diverse musical training from an early age and won a talent show at the young age of seven.

Although she seemed to pause her activities for a while when the COVID-19 pandemic began, she became active again in 2023, releasing an EP and more.

Her song “Our Time,” released in October 2023, has a 1960s-style retro girl-pop vibe, including its cover artwork, and her husky vocals—remarkably mature for a 17-year-old—are reminiscent of Amy Winehouse.

Keep an eye on her—she’s clearly entered a new, polished phase.

OnAphex Twin

When it comes to the most important and truly genius artists in the techno scene since the 1990s, the UK’s Aphex Twin—Richard D.

James—surely stands at the top.

Under multiple aliases, he’s crafted innovative music born of sheer talent, spanning from astonishingly beautiful ambient pieces to runaway-hard tracks, boasting an originality that transcends both eras and genres, and continuing to be highly acclaimed well into the 2020s.

The track featured here, On, is an all-time electronica/IDM classic included on the EP of the same name released under the Aphex Twin moniker in 1993.

It presents a sonic world of such beauty that you can’t quite tell where it came from—quite different from his public image of borderline-grotesque face covers and hard drill’n’bass.

Alongside the masterful album Selected Ambient Works 85–92 released the previous year, it’s a crucial piece both for understanding the history of electronica and for exploring early Aphex Twin.

The remix version released the same day, On Remixes, is also a masterpiece—be sure to check it out together!

“One Day,” a track by Israeli singer-songwriter Asaf Avidan and the British band the Mojos, has been remixed by various music producers, with some versions boasting over 900 million views on YouTube.

For this feature, we’ve selected a remix by Brazilian producer Ghost.

Once the drop hits, the track delivers a hard-hitting, bass-heavy EDM groove, making it a great pick for fans of gritty, high-energy productions.

Oh YeahAsh

ASH – Oh Yeah (Official HD Video)

Ash is a rock band from Northern Ireland.

As one of the representative bands of Britpop, they gained popularity in the 1990s with a sound rooted in alternative rock and pop punk.

Among their works, the summer song I especially recommend is “Oh Yeah.” It’s a track marked by a melancholic melody that depicts a fleeting summer romance from the past—emotional yet imbued with a cool edge.

Be sure to give it a listen.

One for the RoadAtom Smith

In recent jazz dance, it has become more common to use electro swing—a genre that mixes swing jazz with electronic music—as background music.

There are many types of electro swing, and some tracks are irregular and quite challenging.

Atom Smith’s classic “One for the Road,” in that regard, is crafted as a very danceable and orthodox electro swing track.

For beginners in jazz dance, it could be great background music for practice.

ObliviousAztec Camera

One band that can be called emblematic of the neo-acoustic (neo-aco) genre is Scotland’s Aztec Camera.

Formed in 1980 around the then 16-year-old, handsome frontman Roddy Frame, Aztec Camera released their debut, High Land, Hard Rain, on the prestigious Rough Trade label in 1983—a bona fide classic that helped propel the neo-aco movement.

The opening track, Oblivious—also known in Japan by its translated title, “Omoide no Sunny Beat”—features a breezy, slightly Latin-tinged rhythm and impeccably beautiful melody, making it a foundational, quintessential neo-aco number.

If you’re looking to try just one album from the genre, this might be the one.

At the same time, it’s worth emphasizing that, even considering the era’s context, this wasn’t merely the delicate, feeble music of naive youngsters; for instance, the fan-favorite Walk Out to Winter even name-checks Joe Strummer of The Clash.

In any case, this album is packed with great songs and no throwaways, a shining testament to Roddy’s genius as a songwriter.

It’s a superb piece of ’80s British indie rock that transcends the confines of any one movement and continues to radiate an evergreen allure.
