As a single woman, it seemed like every song on the radio during the month of February was a love song. Everything I saw and everything I heard was catered to the people in love. I am no longer single, but I still love the angst and sass of anti-love songs! And admit it, who doesn’t go a little mushy for a good love song?
To commemorate Cupid’s big day, I’ve put together a list of just some of the best songs of the season, depending on how you feel! (And in no particular order!)
