113 Best Songs With "Mean" in the Title

Songs with Mean in the Title That Hit Like a Gut Punch

There’s something oddly cathartic in the way “mean shows up in song titles. Not angry exactly, not always bitter either, but that sideways glance of a word that pulls a little sting. You can hear it wrapped around a lyric that cuts sharper than it should or tucked behind a melody that sounds too pretty for what it’s saying. These tracks live in the space between being over it and still caring way too much. You hear them when the smile you’re forcing starts to slip, when the air in the car goes thick because nobody wants to talk about the thing that actually happened.

Some of these tracks spit fire. Others mumble through gritted teeth or dress the venom up in a hook that gets stuck in your head all week. “Mean can sound like power if you're the one saying it, or like collapse if you're the one it's aimed at. It shifts shape depending on who’s singing and where you are when it hits. And across pop, rock, country, and R&B songs, it keeps showing up like an echo of that same punch-you-in-the-stomach tension that never really gets resolved.

You don’t need to be in the middle of a meltdown or a feud for these to land. Sometimes all it takes is a weird Tuesday, a text you weren’t expecting, or nothing specific at all. They still manage to thread that same raw thread through your headphones like someone guessed exactly how your day’s going. These are the best songs with mean in the title that carry that weight without flinching.
