List of songs with the same name as song artists

(Redirected from List of songs whose title includes the artist's name)

This is an incomplete list of songs, which can or may never satisfy any objective standard for completeness. Revisions and additions are welcome.

This is a list of self-titled (often called eponymous) songs. While musical artists commonly release eponymous albums, a song whose title is exactly the same as the artist's or band's name is a rarer occurrence.

There is a special section in this list for hat tricks, where the song title, artist, and album title are all identical. (The term hat trick, borrowed from sports, indicates a grouping of 3.) There is also a self-reference category for inexact matches, and a special section for The King of Eponymous Songs.

An unusual case is the New Zealand band Shihad. In 2001, they had a song called "Pacifier" on their The General Electric album. They changed their name to Pacifier after the September 11, 2001 attacks (for marketing reasons in the U.S. to avoid confusion with a jihad). In 2004, they reverted their name back to Shihad.
