comment
A song that is, at least partially, about itself.
When Medium Awareness meets music. There are quite a few songs in which the lyrics explicitly reference the fact that... well, it's a song. However, since listing every example that does this would be practically impossible, this trope limits the range to songs that don't just break the fourth wall, but, in fact, are pretty much all about the fact that they're songs.
Generally Played for Laughs. Closely related to The Something Song. Compare and contrast "How I Wrote This Article" Article, which is writing about not knowing what to write anymore. Compare Self-Demonstrating Song. Sometimes Breaking the Fourth Wall. See also [Trope Name], Postmodernism, and Heavy Meta.

Mischa Bachinski's first number in Ride the Cyclone, "This Song is Awesome," which stylistically parodies the AutoTune-heavy "self-aggrandizing commercialized hiphop" of the 2000's. The chorus includes such lines as "this hook is awesome," "this beat is awesome," and of course "this song is awesome."

Sparks' "Strange Animal" is about someone escaping the police by somehow walking into a song, although it's never quite specified that it's the song you're now hearing. At one point he begins to criticize the very song he's now part of ("But this song lacks a heart \ comes off overly smart"), and in the end it seems that he murders everyone else in the song and tries to change it into something more to his liking ("You're in need of a fix \ of a total remix \ so I must kill you all").

Subverted by "This is Not a Song, It's a Sandwich" by Psychostick. Which is not a song, it's a sandwich.
But played straight later in the same album with "#1 Radio $ingle", which actually IS a song about itself.
