The result of the move request was: Moved to Lala (Alicia Keys song) EdJohnston (talk) 02:59, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Lala (Unlocked) → Lala (song) – Move to Lala (song) or Lala (Alicia Keys song}. The song is called "Lala" and appears on the unlocked side of the Keys album. The song's not called "Lala Unlocked" Samsonite Man (talk) 19:29, 11 December 2022 (UTC) — Relisting.

Oppose. Clicked 3 references from the article, all of them use the title "LALA (Unlocked)". [1] [2] [3] 162 etc. (talk) 20:50, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Support Lala (Alicia Keys song) but https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fmx8ww3XYHg @Samsonite Man: would you give more examples please. In ictu oculi (talk) 13:14, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Your justification for this proposed title is a YouTube link for a video titled "Alicia Keys - LALA (Unlocked) (Official Video) ft. Swae Lee" ? 162 etc. (talk) 19:36, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Initially, the articles called the song "Lala (Unlocked)", because that is how it was named for digital download on Apple Music. According to album tracklist, the song is called "Lala" and (unlocked) only denotes that the song appears on unlocked side (disc 2) on the album. It's one of the few songs on the album that do not have an originals counterpart. Samsonite Man (talk) 16:16, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Per Rolling Stone: “LaLa” is Keys’ first new music since her 2020 album Alicia. Earlier this year, she celebrated the 20th anniversary of her 2001 debut album, Songs in a Minor, with a deluxe special edition In ictu oculi (talk) 12:35, 27 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I've retargeted the Lala (song) redirect to this page. There's also a related discussion ongoing at Talk:La La (Ashlee Simpson song). 162 etc. (talk) 18:29, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose, Unlocked is the version of the song/album much like when the world "remix" is included in the title so I agree its not part of the song name. However there are other songs of a similar name and Lala could easily be confused with La La. Suggest moving to LaLa (Alicia Keys song) >> Lil-unique1 (talk) — 20:32, 13 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Relister comment: "Lala (song)" appears unlikely to gain consensus at the moment, but "Lala (Unlocked)" vs. "Lala (Alicia Keys song)" could benefit from further discussion. ModernDayTrilobite (talk • contribs) 21:57, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. None of the commenters expressing support for "Lala (Alicia Keys song)" have shown any evidence that this title is more common in reliable sources than "Lala (Unlocked)". 162 etc. (talk) 17:18, 23 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting comment: Relisting per the same reason as ModernDayTrilobite. One vote with no explanation is not helpful. WP:NOTAVOTE echidnaLives - talk - edits 23:46, 26 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
