Start with the name of the artist. It should be listed in the order of last name, first name middle initial, just like the authors on your Works Cited page. Follow with a period. For example, if you use lyrics from a John Denver song, then your citation will start out: Denver, John.
Enclose the name of the song in quotation marks and follow it with a period. You can use double or single quotes, but you should be consistent throughout the paper every time you use quotes. If the song you quoted was "Seasons of the Heart," then your reference note should now appear: Denver, John. "Seasons of the Heart."
Underline the title of the album. If your word processor will not support this type of formatting, then use an underscore symbol to indicate that the title should be underlined. For example, if the title of the album is "Seasons of the Heart," then your citation should read: Denver, John. "Seasons of the Heart." _Seasons of the Heart_.
Add the name of the label that produced the album, followed by a comma. This information is usually available on the inside of the album or CD cover. For example, if American Gramophone produced the record, then your citation should read: Denver, John. "Seasons of the Heart." _Seasons of the Heart_. American Gramophone,
Finish with the year that the song was released, followed by a period. This information is also generally available on the inside of the album cover. If the song was released in 1970, then the final citation should read: Denver, John. "Seasons of the Heart." _Seasons of the Heart_. American Gramophone, 1970.
