: Re: Using single or double quote I have scoured the internet but have found conflicting information. When in in dialogue in writing a person mentions the name of a song, should it be in single

Song titles belong in quotes. If you're writing fiction think about the reader. Dialog uses double-quotes to frame the spoken word. In that dialog a song title can't also use double-quotes without potentially confusing the reader about where the dialog ends. So that is a good time to use single quotes.

"My favorite song," she said, "is 'Memories', or maybe 'All of Me', or even 'Hello'."

Hope this helps.
