44 BEST SONGS TO FALL IN LOVE TO

Pop Sugar: 1/1/2022

One of the most memorable ways to tell someone you’re falling in love with them is through music. If you’re not into writing your own tune, there’s a wealth of love songs out there — of any genre — to show someone just how much you care for them. The best love song is the tune that resonates the most with you and your partner, so whether you prefer a romantic ballad, a beautiful collaboration, or a song that’s more upbeat, your love interest is certain to be falling just as hard for you after giving it a listen.

These dreamy love songs, featuring both popular music and a couple ’80s and ’90s throwbacks, capture the essence of any stage of loving someone, from those first butterflies around a crush to the all-encompassing, gentle love that comes after years spent together. It’s safe to say anyone would love to be the muse behind an affectionate love song, so give these a listen, and prepare to fall even harder.
