When a band releases a song that could be considered a direct or spiritual sequel to a previous song of theirs. The song is usually in the same key as the original, and may borrow lyrics or music from it.
Compare Answer Song, where one artist does this in response to another's song.

Information Society's "Walking Away" is this to "Running". In the latter, the singer's character believed that love would someday lead him and his romantic interest back together, while in the former, he has given up and moved on, hence the title.

Dream Theater has Metropolis, Pt. I: The Miracle and the Sleeper, and Metropolis Pt. 2: Scenes from a Memory. The second song is notable for lasting a whole album which is separated into twelve tracks, 9 "scenes," and two acts.
"The Mirror" is seen as a prequel to the Twelve-Step Suite, and in Systematic Chaos you have "In The Presence of Enemies" I and II.

Metallica:
The so-called "Unforgiven Trilogy" consists of "The Unforgiven" from 1991's Metallica, "The Unforgiven II" from 1997's ReLoad, and "The Unforgiven III" from 2008's Death Magnetic. The original and "II" share a horn intro and some lyrics. "III" has neither, but it's still easy to see the connection.
"Lux Æterna" from 72 Seasons can be viewed as something of a successor to "Hit the Lights" from Kill 'Em All. The song's name means "Eternal Light" in Latin, and both songs are short, punk-y affairs with a very similar structure and tempo.
Also from 72 Seasons is "Sleepwalk My Life Away" to "Enter Sandman" from Metallica, which shares much of the latter song's rhythm, melodies and lyrical themes.

The entire "Cry Baby" album by Melanie Martinez is a Concept Album, but two songs are direct sequels to others:
"Dollhouse" is about her dysfunctional family and "Sippy Cup" is about her mother snapping and murdering her cheating husband.
"Tag You're It" is about Cry Baby being kidnapped while "Milk and Cookies" is about her murdering her kidnapper.

Rush:
Their album A Farewell to Kings ended with the song "Cygnus X-I Part I" and began their next album, Hemispheres, with the followup "Cygnus X-I Part II".
Rush also has Fear parts I, II, III and IV, spread out over decades of albums, with the first three released in reverse order.
Two of their instrumentals: "Where's My Thing?" and "Leave That Thing Alone".

Sesame Street did this a couple of times:
The song "I in the Sky (Capital I)", sung by Steve Zuckerman, was followed up with "The Lonely n (Lowercase N)" by the same singer, which has a nearly identical verse melody.
"It Sure Is Hot! (¡Hace Calor!)" involved a random muppet talking about the weather as way to break the ice (no pun intended) with a Spanish-speaking neighbor. A few years later, the very similar-sounding "Hace Frio!" came out, which involves Telly finding himself in a Spanish-speaking neighborhood on a particularly cold day.

Many songs on The Marshall Mathers LP 2 are sequels to songs on the original The Marshall Mathers LP and The Eminem Show.
"Bad Guy" is a sequel to "Stan" but also an answer to "Kim" (it seems at first it's a song about murdering Kim, until The Reveal) and the hyperoffensive "Criminal" (quoting "I'm the bad guy who makes fun of people that die..."). "Parking Lot (skit)" is a direct continuation of the skit from "Criminal".
His father-hatred song "Rhyme or Reason", and his attempt to bury the hatchet with his mother, "Headlights", are both answers to "Cleanin' Out My Closet", an "I Hate" Song about his mother.
"So Much Better" uses a gloomy piano beat Sampled Up from "Criminal", and is an over-the-top angry Break-Up Song using lots of silly exte-e-e-e-e-e-nded melismatics, reminiscent of "Puke" from Encore.
In "Stronger Than I Was", he sings as both himself and as Kim, a Solo Duet referencing his Acting for Two on the original "Kim".
"So Far" amusingly switches the beat back to "I'm Back" and "The Real Slim Shady" in scenes showing kids influenced by his music tormenting him now.
Both "Legacy" and "So Far..." reference "The Way I Am" - "Legacy" is another emotional Sincerity Mode song using Constrained Writing (a restrictive meter on "The Way I Am", a limited palette of vowels in "Legacy") and "So Far..." opens with a scene of an irritating fan asking Eminem for an autograph while he's taking a shit, something that happens in "The Way I Am".

Thomas Dolby's 1982 song "Europa and the Pirate Twins", a ditty purportedly about lost love in the wake of World War II, received a sequel 10 years later in "Eastern Bloc (Sequel to Europa and the Pirate Twins)", which has more of an end of the Cold War setting, and sure enough, namedrops Europa in its chorus and borrows both lyrics and some musical cues from the earlier song.

More than 25 years after Enigma's debut single "Sadeness (Part I)"note known simply as "Sadeness" on its album, MCMXC a.D., and as "Sadness Part I" on its single release in the UK and Japan became a worldwide hit, the project included "Sadeness (Part II)" on its 2016 album The Fall of a Rebel Angel. The original track "questions" the sexual desires of Marquis de Sade, while the sequel depicts a male protagonist wandering through an imaginary town and encountering a priestess whose god is Sade.

Gym Class Heroes have done this a bunch of times. First, the entire album The Papercut Chronicles II is a sequel to their earlier album The Papercut Chronicles. More specifically, the song “Kid Nothing And The Never-Ending Naked Nightmare� off the second Papercuts album can be seen as a sequel to “Nothing Boy Vs The Echo Factor� from the first one. Then we have “Wejusfreestylin'� and “Wejustfreestylin Pt. 2� off their first and second albums respectively, which are both Exactly What It Says on the Tin. Finally, throughout the album As Cruel As School Children, there are three tracks called “Sloppy Love Jingle, Pt. 1�, “Sloppy Love Jingle, Pt. 2�, and “Sloppy Love Jingle, Pt. 3�, which form a single continuous story when listened together.

Issues has a very weird variation of this. There are two songs called "Tears on the Runway", both of them feature female singer Nylo and are labeled Part 1 and Part 2. However, Part 2 was released before Part 1. Not only that, but Part 1 isn't officially an Issues song, but rather it's on frontman Tyler Carter's solo EP, released nearly a year later. This caused a lot of confusion, to say the least.

Post-hardcore group Dance Gavin Dance has a number of song series, including "The Robot with Human Hair", "Strawberry Swisher", and "Burning Down the Nicotine Armoire". According to the members themselves, the series are largely connected by musical elements rather than lyrical ones, although there are some lyrical ties (e.g. the "HEY!"s at the beginning of a section, which are found throughout the Strawberry Swisher series).

C. W. McCall followed up his 1975 novelty trucker anthem "Convoy" with the comparatively obscure "Round the World with the Rubber Duck" the next year. The song picks up directly after its predecessor as Rubber Duck's convoy finds itself surrounded by "bears" (police) on the Atlantic coast, but takes a sharp turn into Denser and Wackier territory when, with the help of the "friends of Jesus" and their micro-bus, the convoy literally drives across the ocean and tours Eurasia, starting with England and continuing on through Germany, the Soviet Union, and Japan. Each country gets its own (self-consciously corny) Brief Accent Imitation.

Charli XCX has tackled this a few times:
From her album Charli, the song "1999" is a straightforward and nostalgic pop tune dedicated to The '90s, while "2099" is a far more chaotic, avant-garde interpretation of what she believes will be pop music's distant future.
The song "Click" from Charli is a Boastful Rap of Charli and her clique of friends who she raps along with, including featured artists Kim Petras and Tommy Cash. The following album, how i'm feeling now (produced during and is about quarantine life during the COVID Pandemic), features the song "c2.0", is a solo track where Charli reminisces over her clique and missing them.

Slipknot has "Vermilion" and "Vermilion Part 2", both from the album Vol. 3: (The Subliminal Verses). The first song is typical Slipknot fare, while the second is a mellow acoustic reprise that plays later in the album's tracklist.

The 1975's album I like it when you sleep, for you are so beautiful yet so unaware of it opens with a song, also called "The 1975", that serves as a direct sequel to the song of the same name on their self-titled debut; both songs open with a chord that gradually gets louder, but the song on I like it when you sleep is more anthemic, reflecting the sound of the album overall compared to the first.

Rapper and singer Dessa had a song called "Mineshaft" that was about a painful breakup. On a later album, she released a song called "Mineshaft 2", set sometime afterwards as the ex-boyfriend calls her in an attempt to get back together.

Future Perfect: "Solitary Star" is the follow-on to "Queen of the Dance Floor" from the same album (Dirty Little Secrets), as evident by the callbacks in the lyrics. On their second album, Escape, "Paradise" is about escapism through sex, bondage, drugs, etc., while the title track, which directly follows it, is about coming to grips with reality.

Sting's "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free" was written because Sting was creeped out by the size of the Misaimed Fandom who thought that the Stalker with a Crush lyrics of "Every Breath You Take", his earlier hit single with The Police, were romantic.

Iron Maiden
"Charlotte The Harlot" on their first album was followed by "22 Acacia Avenue", a Darker and Edgier take on the same character. Charlotte shows up again in "From Here to Eternity", this time as a motorcycle enthusiast. Or just interested in a guy on a bike.
"Don't Look to the Eyes of a Stranger" is seen as the sequel to "Prowler". Whilst "Prowler" is from a pervert's point of view, "Don't Look..." is from his victim's.

BTS, being rather fond of tying their music to a larger narrative, are prone to this.
There's "We are B.P.B�" (made pre-debut, in 2010, when RM was the only member along with other two trainees who later left) and "We Are Bulletproof pt. 2" (the better known one, released in 2 Cool 4 Skool). "We are B.P.B�" was reworked and re-released as "We Are Bulletproof pt. 1" on Soundcloud in 2015, now featuring all the members.
Also "Airplane" (from J-Hope's solo mixtape) and "Airplane pt. 2" (from BTS' LOVE YOURSELF: Tear album), with pt. 2 even featuring a verse from pt. 1. Hope World also has a track named "Piece of Peace pt.1", though whether it'll actually have a sequel is yet to be seen.
The person of "I'm Fine" is the same person from "Save Me", but after going through the Character Development seen in the LOVE YOURSELF series; it features the latter's main melody in reverse, an inverted order of the rap parts, and inverted themes in the lyrics (with the lyrics in RM's verses even being an ambigram to his part in "Save Me"). While "Save Me" is about depending emotionally of someone else's love, "I'm Fine" is about finally learning to gain independence and being unafraid to let go.
They also have a history of sequel Concept Albums (the School Trilogy, the The Most Beautiful Moment in Life series, and the LOVE YOURSELF Series). When put all together, their discography can be read as a larger Coming of Age Story.
"Boy With Luv" is this to "Boy In Luv" - the stark difference in both sound and representation of love and gender roles is meant as a demonstration of the evolution and maturity of BTS as a group and as people.

Most of mind.in.a.box's songs are direct (plot) sequels to previous songs, as all but one of their albums forms one cohesive plot. "Tape Evidence" is a prequel song, combining beats and snippets of lyrics from later songs in the album, but only when Black is dreaming or listening to a tape he found on his doorstep. Additionally, every album besides the New Sound Album R.E.T.R.O ties into a Cyberpunk plot. Stylistic sequel songs include "I Love 64", to "8 Bits", both from the R.E.T.R.O album. In turn, those have a sequel on Revelations titled "Unknown", also using a synthetic female voice, "Whatever Mattered" has the follow-up "Second Reality", and "Control" appears to be a spiritual successor to their version of Chris Hülsbeck's "Shades".
