How to write a song or track title in title case
Song titles generally follow standard headline (title) case, similar to Chicago or AP. Streaming platforms and liner notes capitalize major words and lowercase minor ones. Paste a song or track title into the box above and the converter applies the right rule set instantly. You can switch styles to compare and pick the one that fits your context.
The quick rule
Capitalize the first and last words and all major words. Keep small words such as 'in', 'the' and 'with' lowercase in the middle. Consistent casing makes a track listing look polished across Spotify, Apple Music and YouTube.
Example
Type a phrase like “dancing in the rain with you” above and watch each word fall into place: the major words are capitalized, the small connecting words are lowercased, and the first and last words are always capitalized.
Why correct casing matters here
Casing is the first thing a reader notices before they read a single full word. Inconsistent capitalization looks careless; clean title case signals that the rest of the work is just as carefully prepared. For a song or track title, it is a small detail that quietly builds trust.
