How to Cite Song Titles

Citing song titles in a MLA paper is different from citing other sources in a MLA paper. This is because it doesn't have as much information to format into a source. You will need the necessary the song title information, however, to format the title as well as other information to add it to a "Works Cited" document.

Instructions

    • 1

      Type the name of the artist or band. Add a "Period" at the end of the song title and leave one space before typing again.

    • 2

      Add the song title. The song title must be in quotations.

    • 3

      Add the title of the album, the name of the publishing company and the year it was recorded placing a period after each piece of information except for after the publishing company. At that point insert a comma. Your final citation should look like the following example: Sade. "Cherish The Day." The Best Of Sade. Epic Records, 2001. CD.
