Should the song title be in the lyrics?
Usually it helps, because listeners search for the line they remember. Titles that never appear in the song work better for instrumentals or albums with a concept.
Are song titles copyrighted?
Generally not; many songs share titles. But a title identical to a very famous song will be hard to find on streaming search.
