In celebration of Valentine’s Day, I have created three different playlists along with my friends and family to capture the various moods people might be experiencing. We believe that love should be celebrated regardless of whether you have a Valentine or not. In fact, why limit ourselves to just Valentines Day when we can continue celebrating after. You can enjoy the month by listening to the following beautiful songs with friends or even by yourself.
Our first playlist, “To love & be loved,” touches on how it feels to be in a healthy, happy relationship. I’ve picked out a few songs that generate feelings almost identical to how it feels to look at the person you love and know that there is no other person you’d rather live your life with.
1. Angel- Finneas
2. I Only Have Eyes For You- The Flamingos
3. Forever- Ar’mon and Trey
4. Can’t Wait- Doja Cat
5. Earthquake- Tyler, The Creator
6. The Perfect Pair -beadoobee
7. latch- Sam Smith
8. Can I Call You Rose – Thee Sacred Souls
9. All Mine – Kali Uchis
10. You Don’t Know My Name – Alicia Keys
11. Spin Bout U- Drake & 21
12. Golden Hour- JKVE
13. Lotus Flowerbomb- Wale (FT.Miguel)
14. Adorn- Miguel
15. All I Want is You- Miguel
16. glue song- beadoobee

Our second playlist, “Lovesick,” emphasizes being in love but in a slower tone for those who don’t enjoy the fast beats and high pitches.
1. Comfortable- H.E.R.
2. In A Good Way- Faye Webster
3. Easily- Bruno Major
4. Feeling U Feeling Me- Alicia Keys
5. He Loves Me- Jill Scott

9. Girl With The Tattoo- Miguel
10. Coffee- Miguel
11. Harem -Miguel
12. Superpower- Beyonce (ft. Frank Ocean)
Lastly, we have “Oh, this can’t be life,” a melodramatic playlist that targets the crowd that maybe just isn’t feeling the love, which is totally fine. Here are a few songs that might help, whether you’re going through a breakup, in a confusing situationship, or just struggling to find love.
1. Training Wheels- Melanie Martinez
2. Give You The World- Steve Lacy
3. Japanese Denim- Daniel Ceasar
4. Halleys Comet- Billie Eilish
