Words that rhyme with Song
Singers reaching for song find a chorus-favouring word on the surface and a one-syllable core on the open /ษ/ underneath โ one that ends on a humming nasal. Major-key songs hand it the high beat. Its job in a lyric is a vocal anchor, holding down whatever line it lands in. If you came here looking for what rhymes with song, here's the shape of it: perfect rhymes are thin on the ground, family rhymes contribute a handful of voice-pair near-perfects, and the vowel-match pool carries the volume. Family rhymes earn their place when the line wants slant without sounding evasive.

Why song rhymes the way it does
Song is one-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the open /ษ/, then it lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 22 matches, family rhymes 29, additive and subtractive together 49, assonance 6,983, and consonance 284. The mix gives you options across the board. Strict rhymes for the structural beats, family or assonance for the interior lines. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With song, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
