Okay, so I was trying to come up with a cool playlist the other day, you know, something different. Then it hit me – why not make one with songs that have “lady” in the title? Sounds simple, right? But boy, was I in for a ride.

First off, I started jotting down whatever came to mind. You’d think there would be tons, but my mind was kinda blank at first. I mean, “Lady” by Kenny Rogers, that’s a classic. It was released in September 1980 and written by Lionel Richie. I scribbled down that one first. And then, I was like, wait a minute, there are some songs with woman in the title. It’s also needed.
- So, I started digging. Went through my own music collection, which, let me tell you, is all over the place. Found a few gems there.
- Then, I hit the internet. Man, there are lists out there, but they’re so scattered. One site had like 130 songs, another had a different bunch. Some of them were focused on country, some on rock, and there was even one with hip-hop. It was a total mixed bag.
- I realized this wasn’t just about slapping together some tunes. These songs, they’re all telling a story, painting a picture, you know? There are these heartfelt tunes, then there are these funky ones, and some are just straight-up rock and roll.
After hours of searching and listening, I managed to put together a pretty decent list. I mean, I wouldn’t say it’s perfect, but it’s got a good mix. You could be dedicating one of these songs to someone special or just jamming out. There is really a song called “Brandy” by Looking Glass, “Denise” by Randy and the Rainbows. All names!
It’s funny, naming a song after a woman, it’s like the oldest trick in the book, but there are so many good ones. There is a site with songs with girls’ names in titles or lyrics; over 2,300 songs. It’s like, each song has its own vibe, its own story. It’s not just about the word “lady” or “woman”; it’s about what that word means in the song.
Anyway, it turned out to be way more than just a playlist. It was like this little journey through music history, emotions, and all sorts of genres. Who knew a simple word like “lady” could lead to all that?
Here are some I picked up:
- “Lady” – Kenny Rogers
- “Brandy” – Looking Glass
- “Denise” – Randy and the Rainbows
- “Tracy” – The Cuff Links
- “Shelia” – Tommy Roe
- “Diana” – Paul Anka
- “Rosanna” – Toto
It’s quite interesting. What about you? Did you find some? Share with me, guys!
