Fly Away – Lenny Kravitz
Have you ever wished that you had wings and could just about fly to anywhere on the planet or even beyond? Well for me, I would just like to fly over the New York traffic. For me, it is the use of a 1962 Fender Stratocaster electric guitar for the riff in the song. It made the song ring in my ears for many years.
He won four consecutive Grammy Awards in the same category for four years straight. Lenny dominated the Best Male Rock Vocal Performance category starting with “Fly Away” in the 41st Annual Grammy Awards, then “American Woman,” “Again,” and “Dig In.”

Album: Teenage Dream
Another Billboard Hot 100 song that hit the peak of the charts is "Firework" by Katy Perry.

This is a New York star-studded remix of the original version of the song as it features artists like LL Cool J and The Notorious BIG. Before Big Poppa came on board the Bad Boy Entertainment crew, Craig Mack was the hottest rapper out there. But his promotion slowly declined as Biggie took center stage in the label’s success.
On Flava In Ya Ear, you can see why he was hot property and this song was a stable for hip-hop parties in the 90s. If you were to throw it on now, this song that starts with f would still get the party going.
Flex (Time To Have Sex) – Mad Cobra
Album: Hard to Wet, Easy to Dry
Released: 1992
I think this song starting with the letter F has the best album title with Hard to Wet, Easy to Dry. This single produced by Clifton "Specialist" Dillon gave Mad Cobra a top 20 chart sport on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1992.
Mad Cobra sings about his desire to have intimacy with the girl for his dreams as he professes to please her in every sexual way. The lyrics are mostly in patois which is a common lingo with people from the Caribbean.
Back in the early 90s you could just walk into a barbershop and say you want a Mad Cobra haircut. Most of the Dancehall and Hip-Hop artists had their own style of haircut. The music video was shot on the beach giving it that Caribbean vibe. This is a perfect 90s dancehall song that starts with F.
Fly – Nicki Minaj featuring Rihanna
Released: 2010
Album: Pink Friday
Next on our songs that start with F is yet another song from a debut album, this time from Nicki Minaj featuring Badgal Riri. If you want a song that captures your resilience to difficulties you might be facing then this is a great track to put on high volume of your speakers.

Forget About Dre – Dr. Dre featuring Eminem
Released: 1999
Album: 2001
What is a playlist without Batman and Robin? Dr. Dre and Eminem are the Batman and Robin of Hip-Hop because anything they do together always comes out great. Before this album, people had said Dr. Dre had lost it since he left Death Row. However, he came back with a bang with “2001” as well as introducing us to Eminem with his Slim Shady album.
On this track, Dre went for the heads of all the people who came at him that he was washed off. He made his point with the lyrics by reminding folks that he was the one behind the successes of Ice Cube, Snoop Dogg, Eazy-E, and many other artists. Eminem delivered a brain-boosting 2nd verse and immediately you knew he was here to stay as a rapper.
Forget You – Cee-Lo
Released: 2010
Album: The Lady Killer
This is the clean version of his hit song called F**k You.
This track is from the point of view of a broken ex-boyfriend who has recently lost his lover to another man. The lyrics express frustration and disbelief at the actions of someone he loved. He had done all he could to keep her, he spent on her, showed her love, and treated her to the good things of life that he could afford. Yet he could not keep her as the girl left him for another man. Cee-Lo then went for the throats of both his ex-lover and her new lover. There are two versions of this song, one is what we have featured in this post, and the other is with an explicit title called F**K You.
Freak Of The Week – Krept & Konan
Released: 2015
Album: The Long Way Home
This is another debut single that starts with F from the UK rap duo. This is a song that describes the type of girls that the lads met at a club while they were partying. They describe how attractive and seductive the girls look, even though they came with another man, other men could not keep their eyes off them. Jeremih added the sauce to this track by providing a catchy pre-hook and hook. Freak Of The Week samples Beenie Man’s 1997 track titled Who Am I.
Freek n You – Jodeci
Released: 1995
Album: The Show, the After Party, the Hotel
If you want to set the mood for lovemaking with a sensual slow R&B jam then you have found the right song in Freek n You. So, you got the candle lights, a bottle of wine your lady likes, some chocolate, and roses, what is left is this track from Jodeci.
The lyric of this slow jam sends the right message of what you want to happen next by emphasizing your desire for intimacy and emotional connection.
Produced by the legendary DeVante Swing, this slow jam has made lots of babies over the decades and it’s still a go to song till date. Feenin’ and Forever My Lady are two other songs that start with F also produced by DeVante Swing for this four-man group. Jodeci alongside Boyz II Men are two main male RnB groups that gave us that baby-making music in the 90s.
Friends – Whodini
Released: 1984
Album: Escape
Having friends is essential for one’s personal well-being and mental health. They tend to offer us a safe space for sharing our thoughts and concerns, which could help us reduce stress and improve our quality of life.
In this rap song, Whodini emphasizes the importance of having friends that one can rely on. The lyrics talk about the betrayal of his friends those who stab you in the back. This is the signature jam for the hip-hop group and it has featured on YouTube’s celebration of 50 Years of Hip-Hop. Nas made this beat popular in 1996 by sampling it on If I Ruled the World (Imagine That) featuring Lauryn Hill.
Frozen – Madonna
Album: Ray of Light
Released: 1998
Just because you have suffered heartbreak from your previous relationship does not mean you should fill your heart with hate that could jeopardize your next relationship. This is what Madonna is saying in this emotive ballad. Give someone else a chance to be in your life if they have shown interest.
This was the lead single from the 1998 album. Frozen reached #1 on the UK charts and #2 on the Billboard Hot 100. It was stopped from reaching the pinnacle of the US charts by K-Ci & JoJo’s All My Life which locked down the top spot for 3 weeks.
The music video is dark with scenes of Madonna wrapped up in a shroud which we believe represents emotional entrapment. Chris Cunningham who directed the video featured some black-coloured animals to emphasize his point.
Freak Like Me- Adina Howard
Released: 1995
Album: Do You Wanna Ride?
The last song on our list of songs that start with f is yet another debut single. For a debut song, Adina Howard went bold and explicit on this R&B track by celebrating her sexual liberation. She went hard by telling us all she wanted in her man. If you want to be with Adina, then you must keep up the pace.
Freak Like Me reached #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart only prevented from reaching #1 by a summer jam by Montell Jordan titled This Is How We Do It. This is a party jam that begins with F that you should add to your playlist and that concludes our songs that start with F playlist.
