This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Chapman chapter.

So the day is finally here… It’s almost Valentine’s Day! Whether you’re in a committed relationship, dating long distance, or even single this Valentine’s Day, this playlist has got you covered.

1. How Deep Is Your Love – Calvin Harris

The perfect song for you and your valentine to dance the night away to.

2. Earned It – The Weeknd

Trouble setting the mood? If you’ve seen Fifty Shades of Grey you’ll know how much this song does just that.

3. Crazy In Love – Beyonce

Does anyone even need to explain why Queen Bey needs to be on this list? To heat things up even more, play the slowed-down, sultry remix of the song (once again from the Fifty Shades of Grey soundtrack).

4. One Call Away – Charlie Puth

For the long distance valentine.

5. I’m Yours – Alessia Cara

For the one who finally made room for that special someone in their life.

6. I Want To Hold Your Hand – The Beatles

What valentine’s playlist is complete without a good Beatles song? This one will surely have you two skipping off into the sunset, holding hands.

7. The Way – Kehlani (feat. Chance the Rapper)

With a sultry voice like Kehlani’s, how could this not set the mood?

8. Boyfriend – Justin Bieber

For the girl who’s not quite your valentine just yet…

9. She Is Love – Parachute

Slow it down and tell her you love her with this classic. Queue all the feels.

10. Some Kind Of Drug – G-Eazy

For a love so strong, it’s comparable to drugs.

11. Hands To Myself – Selena Gomez

For those who just… can’t keep their hands to themselves.

12. We Don’t Have To Take Our Clothes Off – Ella Eyre

For those who’d rather slow dance than take it to the bedroom.

13. Love Myself – Hailee Steinfeld

For those of us who are our own valentines.

14. Let’s Get It On – Marvin Gaye

Pretty much a classic. Be honest, every romantic scene you’ve ever seen in a movie probably had this song playing in the background.
