Shut Up And Dance – Walk The Moon

This song isn’t exactly a conventional love song. However, it shows the fun in love and the excitement that comes with a first, loving interaction. This song expresses how new and exciting love can be. Also, the expression of love through a party and not an intimate act is a different and interesting way to express love. 

 

Crazy in Love – Beyonce

This song is such a classic and essential love song. It expresses how love can make you do wild things and the spell that love can put you under. Love is a crazy thing that can make you crazy!

 

Best Friend – Rex Orange County

This is one of my favorite Rex Orange County songs. The way this song describes love in the sense of a romantic relationship like being a best friend is so important. 

 

All You Need Is Love – The Beatles

This song being about love being able to save the world proves that love doesn’t have to be about a relationship at all! Love is about spreading positivity and creating a safe environment for all.

 

How Sweet It Is – Marvin Gaye 

A classic that promotes how love is a two-way street and how great it feels when someone loves you. Being loved is just as great as giving love. 

 

18 – One Direction 

This song is an expression of the freeness and naive nature of young love, a love that so many people seek and can’t find and one of my absolute favs from my boys. Hearing love expressed in this positive way as a lover from the past and the current wish for something that feels the same as it did when they were 18 makes me happy. 

 

Pete Davidson – Ariana Grande 

While this is kind of awkward, it is such a strong expression of love thats sends good vibes into my ears. A lyric that repeats itself throughout this song is “imma be happy” which is an important feeling in love. Love songs need to express the happiness of the relationship and not the toxicity. 

 

New Years Day – Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift is queen of breakup songs but this song is more of a celebration of love. This song says that love means staying with someone even through the bad stuff. Love is about helping each other clean up their messes. 

 

L.O.V.E. – Frank Sinatra

This song provides a direct definition of love and what it means to Sinatra. It’s so beautiful to hear the different ways he sees love being expressed within their relationship.

 

Kid In Love – Shawn Mendes 

This is another song about young love. And what it means to be starting a new relationship. It shows love from the expression of being reckless and in love and not fully understanding it but not hating it.
