You don't have to write a title, but there are benefits to be had by being as involved in that as any other part of the song. Much depends on your reason for writing.... if it is simply self-expression then no doubt choosing the title might not be important, however if there is any commercial edge to your music, such as a professional songwriter or you plan to release a CD, then understanding the benefits of titles and what works can only be to your benefit as the writer.

I've rarely had trouble with a title. Being a lyricist only I often find that I have a title first and simply must write that lyric (or it'll drive me crazy). As an example, a recent one I finished, "Exit Wounds". I've had that title and idea for several months. Knew I wanted to invoke what it means at a crime scene and twist it to be the final breakup of a relationship. And for the longest time could not get the story to come together. Eventally it did, but it was the title that drove me.
