"[[Dancing Days]]" was inspired by the enjoyable sessions at Stargroves, and the lyrics show a general optimism to life.{{sfn|Lewis|1990|p=54}} Kramer recalled the group dancing around in the garden at Stargroves, listening to the playback of the final mix. A promotional copy of the track was sent out by Atlantic for radio play in March 1973, as a preview for the album.{{sfn|Lewis|2012|p=135}}

"[[D'yer Mak'er]]"{{efn|The title comes from an old British joke – "My wife's gone on holiday?" "D'Yer Mak'er?" (which when pronounced quickly sounds like "[[Jamaica]]") "No, she went of her own accord."{{sfn|Lewis|2012|p=136}}}} originated with Bonham trying to combine [[reggae]] with 1950s [[doo-wop]]{{efn|This led to the remark "Whatever happened to [[Rosie and the Originals]]?" on the sleeve{{sfn|Lewis|2012|p=136}}}} by leaving a short [[Off-beat (music)|off-beat]]. Jones later disapproved of the track, saying it was treated as a joke and not thought out well, but Plant thought it could be a hit and suggested it should be released as a single. Led Zeppelin's general policy was to not release singles in the UK, and though test and promotional pressings were produced there, the rest of the group vetoed the idea.{{sfn|Lewis|1990|p=54}}{{sfn|Lewis|2012|p=136}} In the United States, it became a top 20 hit.<ref name=dyme>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.billboard.com/artist/led-zeppelin/chart-history/hsi/|title=Led Zeppelin D'yer Mak'er chart history|magazine=Billboard|access-date=25 July 2018|archive-date=25 July 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180725163227/https://www.billboard.com/music/led-zeppelin/chart-history/hot-100/song/574029|url-status=live}}</ref>

"[[No Quarter (song)|No Quarter]]" was composed by Jones. An early arrangement of the song was attempted for their fourth album, but abandoned. Jones reworked the track to add acoustic and electric piano, and various synthesizers. The track quickly became a live favourite, and was featured at every show from 1973 through 1979, providing Jones with an extended solo showcase in the middle, and a jam session with a variety of different styles. Plant revived the song for his 1990 tour, and it was performed by Page and Plant in 1994. Jones performed a solo instrumental performance on tour in 1999, and Plant performed it solo again in 2005. It was part of the set at the [[Ahmet Ertegun Tribute Concert]] in 2007.{{sfn|Lewis|1990|pp=54,117}}{{sfn|Lewis|2012|pp=137–138}}

"[[The Ocean (Led Zeppelin song)|The Ocean]]" began with Bonham shouting "We've done four already but now we're steady and then they went, one, two, three, four," referring to the number of takes already recorded. The title and lyrics refer to the group's fans and their devotion to the band. The middle of the track features an a cappella vocal break sung by Plant, Bonham and Jones, while the ending was another pastiche of the doo-wop style.{{sfn|Lewis|1990|p=54}}
