TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

1:1 This verse is the source of the English title of the book. Formally, it is a superscription that functions as the title page of the book, providing the genre (song) and a connection with the probable author of some or all of the book (see Song of Songs Book Introduction, “Authorship”). The NLT rightly understands song of songs as a Hebrew superlative, so this song is the highest, best, or most sublime, which probably means that it is more wonderful than any other of Solomon’s 1,005 songs (see 1 Kgs 4:32).

The possessive form is being used here to indicate a comparison with other songs and to show that this song is the best or greatest of all songs.

לִ⁠שְׁלֹמֹֽה

The phrase of Solomon could mean: (1) Solomon wrote this song. Alternate translation: “Solomon wrote” (2) this song was dedicated to Solomon. Alternate translation: “is dedicated to Solomon” (3) this song was about Solomon. Alternate translation: “is about Solomon”
