49. You Got Me, Erykah Badu and The Roots
Erykah Badu joins The Roots to sing what may be the most fun love song to ever exist.
50. Make Me Feel, Janelle Monáe
Funky and dancefloor-ready, Janelle Monáe captures that hip-shaking kind of romance. The moody music video is well worth a watch, too.
51. Nothing Even Matters, Lauryn Hill
Lauryn Hill says it all: “Your love makes me feel ten feet tall.”
52. Say Don’t Go (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault), Taylor Swift
Whispery, full of angst, Tay Swift perfectly encapsulating the desperation you feel when your lover is leaving you.
53. You, Miley Cyrus
Forget Flowers, this track is all about being debaucherous, and how it’s only enjoyable if you do it with the one you love. Perfection.
54. Unchained Melody, Righteous Brothers
Whether you love this song because of the original version or Pop Idol runner up Gareth Gates’ version, it’s a true oldie-but-a-goodie.
55. Be My Baby, The Rosettes
The best thing about this one? It plays in the opening to Dirty Dancing, of course. The second best? The openly romantic fixation in the lyrics: “be my baby, my one and only baby, be my baby now – oh oh oh oh oh”.
56. Eternal Flame, The Bangles
“Close your eyes, give me your hand”. Shivers.
57. Love, Lana Del Rey
She’s the queen of angst, and this one just perfectly nails the euphoria and brokenness that can come from young love.
58. Halo, Beyoncé
One of Queen Bey’s most gorgeous songs. She’s singing about a lover whose nature and influence on her has been so transformative that she feels he is an angel. Adorable.
59. Hero, Enrique Iglesias
The music video for this track will live on forever. Full of drama and romance, and Jennifer Love Hewitt playing Enrique’s love interest as he is hunted down by criminal enemies. A hero, for sure.
60. Shallow, by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper
An absolute belter from the A Star Is Born soundtrack, all about Lady Gaga and Cooper’s relationships leaving the “shallows’ and diving deep into their romance.
61. Just Like Heaven, by The Cure
The tingly guitars and cutesy lyrics about, you’ve guessed it, being in lust and love are just heavenly. Which is fitting, really.
62. Angels, by Robbie Williams
It may be the go-to end-of-the-night track for wedding receptions and other club nights out, but this Robbie Williams anthem has love at its centre. It’s about unconditional support and love, which is the bedrock of any relationship.
63. You’re Still The One, by Shania Twain
The ultimate track for anyone stupidly in love. Forget Feel Like A Woman, this is Twain’s very best – a lover girl swansong.
