Frankie de Chenu Hi! Really struggling to remember this book, it's NOT Mortal Engines but watching Mortal Engines is what has made me remember it. At my best guess I likely read it in the late 1990s or early 2000s so my memory of the storyline is very vague. I remember that it was a dystopian future book where everyone lived in giant cities on wheels. I think the main protagonist was female and there was a romance theme. There was a class divide between the lower levels, where people lived in poor conditions and kept the city running and moving, and the upper levels where people lived in luxury. I think there may have been the word 'song' in the title but I'm not certain (Plainsong rang a bell during my search but it was definitely not that!). Sorry it's so vague but I probably read it around 20 years ago!

Here's the Google Books preview of Tova's suggestion - Roller Coaster World by Kenneth Bulmer:
