naming of songs

[topgun17]

i was wondering when naming a song is it wise to use somthing from the lyrics or just a random name. i mean ive seen both but what do ya'll think im in the process if writing lyrics for a particular song but not sure if i should go random or along the lyric theme.

up to you. every song is different. as an artist use your creative abilities to come up with names. to me the name of a song isnt that big of a deal, just have good lyrics

naming it numbers is much cooler

...when you're the first person to do it and have it be well known. after that it looks like you're trying to copy another artist- and you look stupid and unoriginal.

and much more confusing if all your songs are just numbers

i like when song names have aboslutely nothing to do with the actual song. when they are just nonsense

fallout boy has some loooong names for their songs.. its all persoanly preferance.. i think some songs are named by a lyricin them beucase it makes them more customer friendly....
i like songs names that have a hidden meaning, somthing that the artist has experinced, like tripping billies

granny

the first couple versions, granny was actually in the lyrics. then those lines got chopped off but the title stuck

for the main question, i think if meaning/point of the song is unclear, then use the name of the song to help. like flake by jack, the song is about a flakey girl, and it help explains that in the song title
