Original Song Titles vs. Used Song Titles

While looking through the credits of Key’s new album, HUNTER, I noticed that every track has an “original title” credited. This itself not really anything groundbreaking (we all probably know the Call Me Baby/Call Me Daddy one), but it did get a good laugh out of me to find out that Want Another was originally titled “Womanizer” and HUNTER “Her Number”.

However, it did send me down a rabbit hole, because, out of sheer curiosity, I decided to check the credits of all the albums I own to see which titles differ from the original ones. In the end I compiled a list of 170 songs, that have a different title. Most of them stem from SM, with a just few exceptions.

A few of these are very small changes, like shortening a song name (for example: Key – Hate That… = Hate that You’re Happy, Minho – Heartbreak = The Heartbreak) or changing it to a similar sounding one (VIXX – Dynamite = Do What You Like, SHINee – Like A Fire = Take Me Higher) but some others are a bit more wild.

I think posting the entire list would probably be a bit much, so here are some of my favorite examples:
