Definition
A song is a piece of music with words that you sing; it can also mean the act of singing or the words themselves.
Usage & Nuances
Most commonly refers to music with lyrics, not just any piece of music. Common phrases: 'sing a song', 'favorite song', 'write a song'. Do not use 'song' for purely instrumental pieces—that's usually 'music' or 'tune'.
