Hi, it’s your Valentine’s DJ here.

Personally, Valentine’s Day is the best holiday ever for me! The love, hearts, reds, pinks, kisses, hugs, chocolate covered everything, and let’s not forget that after Valentine’s day sale they have on said chocolate! But for some, Valentine’s day can be a “real hot girl bummer.” The pressures of having a special someone or going out and enjoying the festivities can be a real pain. I’m here to give you some songs that can make that annoying experience a little bit more bearable, or at least you can sad bop in your car while you eat that chocolate you got for yourself from Walmart. Either way, these songs will have you telling the whole holiday Thank u, next.
