30 Best Pain Songs – Songs With Pain in the Title

Last Updated: September 7, 2022 | Written by Matthew Campbell (Editor of My Wedding Songs and wedding DJ)

Pain can be physical. It can also be emotional. We recognize all the pain in our lives with a list of the top 10 pain songs.

All of the songs listed have the word pain in the song title. Physical pain is what happens to our bodies like paper cuts, broken bones, and the like.

Emotional pain is like when a boyfriend and girlfriend decide to part ways, the husband and wife decide to divorce, and the loss of a loved one.

Pain can also be considered a good thing. Without pain, how can one understand and appreciate happiness?

We tried to include different music eras in our list including from 1964 through today.

You can discover different music styles including hip hop, heavy metal, rock, country, soul, and Europop.
