47 Best Songs About Songs – Songs With Song in the Title
Last Updated: July 24, 2023 | Written by Matthew Campbell (Editor of My Wedding Songs and wedding DJ)
My list of songs is a bit special as we feature the top songs about songs – meaning all of the songs have “song” in the song title.
Are you confused yet? I included different music genres like Hip Hop, R&B, Pop, and Rock. I also included different genres from 1970 through today.
The words to have a theme song include a thong, the Earth, the best love that two people have in a relationship, that you have your own song, Adam has his own song, oh how we need love songs, a couple has their own song, some songs can be lazy, and we can love like a love song.
