* "Keisha's Song (Her Pain)" by Music/KendrickLamar is a tragic cautionary tale about a prostitute who [[spoiler: is stabbed and killed by one of her clients.]] Also a sort of MoralityBallad, as Kendrick says he played the song for his sister to ensure she'd never becomes a prostitute. (The song doesn't condemn Keisha for being a sex worker, more commenting on the dangers of being an impoverished woman in the sex industry).

* The aptly-titled "Lady of the Night" by Music/DonnaSummer is about a working girl who treats sex work like any other job and how she deserves respect rather than pity or derision. Averted with "She Works Hard for the Money," despite its MemeticMutation as one, mostly owing to a line about the female subject "waiting for her clientele." In reality, the song was inspired by a restroom attendant Summer encountered at a party, who fell asleep on the job after working long hours. The song mentions her by name (Onetta), and the music video is about a woman who works several blue-collar jobs, but very much ''not'' sex work.

The narrator could be a male admirer who is in love with her and/or wishes she'd leave the profession behind, but the song can also be neutral and might simply be about her struggles and decision to walk the streets. If the artist is a woman, the song might be from the perspective of the worker herself.
