The best love song in the word - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

Songs have been written about every topic imaginable, but the best ones — from swooning ’50s ballads to contemporary club bangers — have been penned about the ups and downs of being in love. We are counting down the top 50 Hot 100 hits with a form of the word “love” in the title. The romantic tunes cover every era of the Hot 100’s history, ranging from 1958’s “To Know Him Is to Love Him” by the Teddy Bears to 2019’s “Someone You Loved” by Lewis Capaldi. Love is a many splendored and many faceted thing, and this list has all types of love songs: tunes about “The Power of Love” (Huey Lewis), “The Greatest Love of All” (Whitney Houston), eternal love (Donna Lewis’ “I Love You Always Forever”) and NSFW lovin’ (Madonna’s “Justify My Love”).

It’s sonic proof that while musical fads and fashions will change with every generation, love — and the songs inspired by it — will never go out of style. And we have the numbers to prove it: 9.6% of all Hot 100 No. 1s feature the word “love” in the song title.

The ranking is based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 chart. Billboard’s Top 50 Love Songs of All Time ranking is based on weekly performance on the Hot 100 (from its inception on Aug. 4, 1958, through Feb. 4, 2023) and comprises songs that have the word “love” in its title (or a variation, like “lover,” “loving,” “lovely,” etc.). Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower spots earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted differently to account for chart turnover rates during various periods. Songs are ranked based on a formula blending performance, as outlined above, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. To ensure equitable representation of the biggest hits from each era, certain time frames were weighted to account for the difference between turnover rates from those years.

«Lovin’ You» — Minnie Riperton | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 (1975)

After signing with Chess Records’ The Gems and Rotary Connection, Riperton joined Stevie Wonder’s backing vocalists, Wonderlove, in 1973. A year later she signed with Epic, with Wonder producing her first album. The initial single failed to chart but the follow-up was “Lovin’ You.”
«You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feelin'» — The Righteous Brothers | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for two weeks (1965)

Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil wrote this song on a rented piano at the Chateau Marmont on the Sunset Strip, inspired by the Four Tops’ “Baby I Need Your Loving.” Their dummy lyrics were “You’ve lost that lovin’ feelin’” but producer Phil Spector liked them so much he kept them. The trio completed the song by writing the bridge at Spector’s home.
«I Love a Rainy Night» – Eddie Rabbitt | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for two weeks (1981)

After Elvis Presley recorded Eddie Rabbitt’s “Kentucky Rain,” Elektra signed the Brooklyn-born songwriter as an artist. While searching through 300 tapes of music scraps and lyrics, Rabbitt heard a six-second fragment he had recorded 12 years earlier: “I love a rainy night, I love a rainy night.” He finally completed the song and earned his first (and only) No. 1 on the Hot 100.
«This Guy’s In Love With You» — Herb Alpert | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for four weeks (1968)

Alpert sang this Burt Bacharach/Hal David song to his wife on the beach in Malibu on a CBS special. The next day, the network was inundated with calls from viewers asking where they could buy the song. One day later, A&M released a single and it became the label’s first No. 1.
«Justify My Love» — Madonna | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for two weeks (1991)

The video for this song was too steamy for MTV, which refused to air it. Within hours of the network’s decision, Warner/Reprise Video announced that “Justify My Love” would be the first commercially released video single. ABC’s “Nightline” then aired the entire video, uncensored.
«That’s The Way Love Goes» — Janet Jackson | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for eight weeks (1993)

Jackson’s first single for Virgin was based on a sample from a James Brown No. 1 R&B hit from 1974, “Papa Don’t Take No Mess.” On first listen, Jackson wasn’t thrilled with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis’ track; the producers asked her to take it with her on her two-week Christmas vacation and when she returned she told them it was “the bomb.”
«The Power of Love» — Celine Dion | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for four weeks (1994)

Queens, N.Y. native Jennifer Rush was signed to CBS in Germany and found international success with her fourth single, written about her boyfriend Steven. The song kept failing in America, with low-charting versions by Rush herself and Air Supply and a slightly better showing for Laura Branigan. Finally it was a No. 1 smash for Dion, who told Billboard, “If you want to open up and sing strong, you could not have a better song than ‘Power of Love.’”
«I Just Called to Say I Love You» — Stevie Wonder | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for three weeks (1984)

Dionne Warwick told the producers of the Gene Wilder film “The Woman in Red” they should ask Wonder to compose the soundtrack. That’s how the film became an Oscar winner; this song, written for the movie, claimed the Academy Award for Best Original Song.
«Greatest Love of All» — Whitney Houston | Hot 100 Peak: 1 for three weeks (1986)

Michael Masser and Linda Creed wrote this song for the film The Greatest, a Muhammad Ali biopic. George Benson’s soundtrack single peaked at No. 24 in 1977. Later, when Houston auditioned for Clive Davis, she performed the song, and then it became the B-side of her first Arista single, “You Give Good Love.” Months later, radio airplay forced it out as the fifth single from Houston’s debut album.
«The Power of Love» — Huey Lewis & the News | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for two weeks (1985)

Asked to contribute a song to the Back to the Future soundtrack, Lewis said he had the perfect tune: “In the Nick of Time.” Negotiations went on so long, Lewis gave the song to another film, Brewster’s Millions. The “Future” folks were upset but Lewis said he had a second perfect song, “Back in Time.” For another scene, Lewis came up with “The Power of Love,” which became the movie’s breakout hit.
«Dreamlover» — Mariah Carey | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for eight weeks (1993)

Carey and producer Dave Hall did not have the title “Dreamlover” when they started writing the song. “Usually…[I] do an untitled song,” says Hall. “We’ll grab the hook and use that as a title.” Their collaboration gave Carey her then-longest-reigning No. 1 hit.
«Love Hangover» — Diana Ross | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for two weeks (1976)

Other labels were heavily into disco in 1976 but not Motown. So it was an anomaly for Ross to record this Pam Sawyer/Marilyn McLeod tune. Ross had no problem with the slow, seductive first half but started laughing when the beats-per-minute increased, protesting she couldn’t sing that part. Producer Hal Davis created a club atmosphere in the studio and Ross got into it, resulting in another No. 1 hit for the former Supreme.
«Can’t Help Falling in Love» — UB40 | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for seven weeks (1993)

Elvis Presley’s version peaked at No. 2 in 1962. Three decades later, UB40 was asked to remake the song for the soundtrack to Honeymoon in Vegas. The producers passed over their version in favor of one by Bono of U2. The UB40 recording might have gone unreleased, but the music supervisor of another film, Sliver, rescued the track from the Virgin vaults.
«I Knew I Loved You» — Savage Garden | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for four weeks (2000)

After producer Walter Afanasieff delivered the new Savage Garden album to Columbia, he was given a message to take back to the band: “It’s an artistic masterpiece. But we want another ‘Truly Madly Deeply.’” (the duo’s first No. 1). A furious Darren Hayes went away for 10 minutes with bandmate Daniel Jones and came back with a completed song, “I Knew I Loved You” (the duo’s second No. 1).
«I Want to Know What Love Is» — Foreigner | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for two weeks (1985)

There wasn’t unanimous agreement among the members of Foreigner that this song would be a great single for the group. Lou Gramm thought it might do irreparable damage to their rock image and Rick Willis thought it was “fluffy.” Mick Jones told Billboard the track was released “because it was coming out at Christmas and it had the right kind of mood.”
«What’s Love Got to Do With It» — Tina Turner | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for three weeks (1984)

Newly signed to Capitol, Turner’s first single for the EMI-owned label was a cover of Al Green’s “Let’s Stay Together,” which peaked at a disappointing No. 26 on the Hot 100. The follow-up was an original, though U.K. pop quartet Bucks Fizz recorded it first. Their version went unreleased and Turner had her first No. 1 in the U.S.
«She Loves You» — The Beatles | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for two weeks (1964)

John Lennon and Paul McCartney wrote “She Loves You” on a tour bus in Yorkshire, England. It was producer George Martin’s idea for them to start with the chorus of “She loves you, yeah, yeah, yeah” instead of the first verse.
«Love Child» — Diana Ross & the Supremes | Hot 100 Peak: No 1 for two weeks (1968)

After 10 No. 1 hits written and produced by Holland-Dozier-Holland, Diana Ross & the Supremes went into the studio with a new set of Motown collaborators, which resulted in the trio’s 11th chart-topper on the Hot 100. “Love Child” was just one of Motown’s more socially conscious songs that were released starting in 1968, including the Temptations’ “Cloud Nine” and Edwin Starr’s “War.”
«(Love Is) Thicker Than Water» — Andy Gibb | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for two weeks (1978)

Robin Gibb was considered the “chart freak” in the family but Andy was an avid chart watcher too, and he kept track of his second single’s progress up the Hot 100. “It slowed down…we were all a little scared,” he once recalled. “It lost…its jump in sales activity. And then…it just picked up and nothing stopped it.”
«I Think I Love You» — The Partridge Family | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for three weeks (1970)

David Cassidy and his stepmother Shirley Jones were the only cast members of the TV series who appeared on the group’s recordings, and Jones says, “I did very little…I literally was the backing vocals for David. I never thought I’d have a gold record…it hangs on my wall and I’m very proud of it.”
«Love Rollercoaster» — Ohio Players | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for one week (1976)

After struggling for 15 years, the group scored a No. 1 hit in 1975 with “Fire,” from their first album for Mercury. The follow-up LP, Honey, yielded a single, “Sweet Sticky Thing,” that stalled at No. 33. It was the second single, “Love Rollercoaster,” that returned the group to pole position.
«I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)» — Whitney Houston | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for two weeks (1987)

George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam wrote “How Will I Know” for Houston. Asked to submit another song, they sent “Waiting for a Star to Fall,” and when the answer was no, they recorded it themselves as Boy Meets Girl. Encouraged to try again, it only took them two days to write “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me).” This time, Clive Davis said yes.
«Love Will Keep Us Together» — Captain and Tennille | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for four weeks (1975)

Four months after he was No. 1 on the Hot 100 with “Laughter in the Rain,” Neil Sedaka was back on top, as a songwriter, thanks to Captain and Tennille’s cover of a song A&M’s Kip Cohen heard on the Sedaka’s Back album.
«Roses Are Red (My Love)» — Bobby Vinton | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for four weeks (1962)

A hitless Vinton was about to be dropped by Epic, when he found this song in a reject pile and asked to be given one more chance. He recorded it as an R&B tune. “It was the worst sounding thing you ever heard in your life,” he admits. The label agreed to a second session with a new arrangement, added strings and a vocal choir and the result was a No. 1 on the Hot 100.
«Crazy in Love,» Beyoncé featuring Jay-Z | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for eight weeks (2003)

The first single from Beyoncé’s first post-Destiny’s Child album (Dangerously in Love) became the first No. 1 of her solo career. “I asked Jay to get on the song the night before I had to turn my album in,” Beyoncé told Billboard. “Thank God he did. It still never gets old, no matter how many times I sing it.”
«Love the Way You Lie» — Eminem feat. Rihanna | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for seven weeks (2010)

The combination of Eminem rapping and Rihanna singing about an abusive relationship, something both artists had personally experienced, though from different perspectives, was powerful enough to send the song to No. 1 on the Hot 100 for seven weeks in the summer of 2010. At 12x platinum, it is the best-selling song by either artist.
«To Sir With Love» — Lulu | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for five weeks (1967)

Lulu hated the songs the producers of the film To Sir With Love were considering for the soundtrack. She asked her friend Mark London to write a title song she could sing. He composed the music in five minutes and the next day Don Black wrote the lyrics. “I was over the moon,” says Lulu.
«Vision of Love» — Mariah Carey | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for four weeks (1990)

Right after she was signed to Columbia, Carey wrote her debut single with Ben Margulies. She described the composition as being not so much a love song as a celebration of her life at the time.
«It Must Have Been Love» — Roxette | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for two weeks (1990)

Originally recorded as a Christmas song in Sweden in 1987, this track was revised by Per Gessle when he was asked to update it for the Pretty Woman soundtrack. “I heard the director really loved the song,” says Gessle. “I also heard he re-edited the movie to get it in there.”
«Love Takes Time» — Mariah Carey | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for three weeks (1990)

Her first album was being mastered when Carey played a demo of this song for label president Don Ienner aboard a plane. Carey was told the song was a “career-maker” and despite her protests, the presses were stopped and the song was added to her debut release.
«Love Yourself» — Justin Bieber | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for two weeks (2016)

Ed Sheeran wrote “Love Yourself” for himself, intending it for his album Divide. But then he gave it to Justin Bieber, who did some additional writing on the song, which spent two weeks atop the Hot 100 in early 2016 and went on to become Billboard’s No. 1 song of the year.
«Woman in Love» — Barbra Streisand | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for three weeks (1980)

Barry and Robin Gibb wrote the song for Streisand but the former told Billboard he gives the artist most of the credit. “At least 80 per cent of the success of the record belongs to her.”
«Someone You Loved» — Lewis Capaldi | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for three weeks (2019)

Although Scottish-born Lewis Capaldi first charted in his native U.K. in 2017, he was an unknown in the U.S. when his single “Someone You Loved” was released. The piano ballad turned out to be a sleeper hit, working its way to No. 1 in its 24th week on the Hot 100. The song, which Capaldi wrote about his late grandmother, reigned for three non-consecutive weeks in November 2019.
«Love Is Blue» — Paul Mauriat | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for five weeks (1968)

Five years after he co-wrote Peggy March’s No. 1 hit “I Will Follow Him,” Mauriat was back on top of the Hot 100 with an instrumental cover of “L’Amor Est Bleu,” Luxembourg’s entry in the 1967 Eurovision Song Contest. Vicki Leandros performed the song, which placed fourth in the annual songfest.
«To Know Him Is to Love Him» — The Teddy Bears | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for three weeks (1958)

Phil Spector was inspired to write the song by a photograph of his father’s tombstone at Beth David Cemetery in New York. The inscription read: “To Know Him Was to Love Him.”
«Crazy Little Thing Called Love» — Queen | Hot 100: No. 1 for four weeks (1980)

Freddie Mercury wrote the song while languishing in his bath at the Munich Hilton. He leapt from the tub and ran to his guitar and piano to lay down the melody. His label was reluctant to release the song in the U.S. but radio stations played the imported U.K. single anyway, forcing an American release.
«Because You Loved Me» — Celine Dion | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for six weeks (1996)

After viewing the film Up Close and Personal, Diane Warren met with director Jon Avnet to talk about her vision of the song she was to compose for his movie. The next morning in her office, she recalls, “The chorus lyrically and musically wrote itself.”
«My Love» — Paul McCartney and Wings | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for four weeks (1973)

McCartney wrote “My Love” about one of the members of his post-Beatles band, Wings. The inspiration for the sentimental ballad was Scarsdale, N.Y.-born Linda Louise Eastman, a professional photographer before she married McCartney on March 12, 1969.
«Bleeding Love» — Leona Lewis | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for four weeks (2008)

Ryan Tedder and Jesse McCartney wrote the song, inspired by the latter’s long-distance romance with his girlfriend. McCartney wanted the song for himself but his label was unenthusiastic so it went to the winner of the third season of The X Factor in the U.K.
«I Can’t Stop Loving You» — Ray Charles | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for five weeks (1962)

Back in 1958, Don Gibson wrote two songs one hot afternoon in Knoxville, Tenn. – “Oh Lonesome Me” and “I Can’t Stop Loving You.” Four years later, Charles only needed to hear the first two lines of the latter before deciding to record it for his album Modern Sounds in Country and Western Music.
«Best of My Love» — The Emotions | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for five weeks (1977)

When the Stax label folded, the three Hutchinson sisters had to find a new home. They were signed to a production company run by Maurice White of Earth, Wind & Fire. With group member Al McKay, White wrote this song specifically for them and the lead voice of Wanda Hutchinson.
«I Love Rock n’ Roll» — Joan Jett & the Blackhearts | Hot 100 Peak: No 1 for seven weeks (1982)

Joan Jett tried to convince her band ’70s band, The Runaways, to record a cover of the Arrows’ “I Love Rock n’ Roll,” but they weren’t into it. She recorded a version for the B-side of a Dutch single (a remake of Lesley Gore’s “You Don’t Own Me”), but it was her version with backing band the Blackhearts that ruled the Hot 100 for seven weeks in 1982.
«Because I Love You (The Postman Song)» — Stevie B | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for four weeks (1990)

Songwriter Warren Allen Brooks says his No. 1 hit was a “spiritual song,” even if people think he was writing about love between a man and a woman. “It’s really about me and God having a personal relationship.”
«Let Me Love You» — Mario | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for nine weeks (2005)

Mario didn’t realize this song was going to be so huge. “I didn’t know it would touch so many people,” he says. “But it was an emotional song and those records last forever.”
«I Will Always Love You» — Whitney Houston | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for 14 weeks (1992)

Whitney Houston’s signature song — a No. 1 smash from The Bodyguard — was originally a No. 1 hit for the woman who composed the tune, Dolly Parton. Her version topped the Hot Country Songs chart in 1974 and again in 1982.
«Silly Love Songs» — Wings | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for five weeks (1976)

1976 was a very good year for love songs achieving pole position on the Hot 100. First there was “Love Rollercoaster” by the Ohio Players, followed by Paul Simon’s “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover,” “Love Machine” by the Miracles, “Let Your Love Flow” by the Bellamy Brothers, “Love Hangover” by Diana Ross and the longest-running “love” No. 1 of the year, Wings’ “Silly Love Songs.”
«We Found Love» — Rihanna feat. Calvin Harris | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for 10 weeks (2011)

What could be more romantic than finding love in a “hopeless place”? Rihanna scored the biggest hit of her career (and the top ‘love’ song of the 21st century) with only her fourth Hot 100 entry to feature “love” in the title, following “If It’s Lovin’ That You Want” (2005), “Hate That I Love You” (2007) and her featured role on Eminem’s “Love the Way You Lie” (2010).
«How Deep Is Your Love,» Bee Gees | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for three weeks (1977)

Barry, Robin and Maurice Gibb hadn’t seen the script for the movie that became Saturday Night Fever when they wrote “How Deep Is Your Love” for the soundtrack. They weren’t even certain that there was a love scene in the film. They intended the song for Yvonne Elliman, but their manager Robert Stigwood insisted they record it themselves.
«I’ll Make Love to You» — Boyz II Men | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for 14 weeks (1994)

When the members of Boyz II Men first heard Babyface’s composition “I’ll Make Love to You,” they were concerned about recording a song that was too similar to their previous hit, “End of the Road.” Nathan Morris explains, “The record company talked us into doing it and thank God it worked.”
«Endless Love» Diana Ross & Lionel Richie | Hot 100 Peak: No. 1 for nine weeks (1981)

Producer Jon Peters and director Franco Zeffirelli asked Lionel Richie to compose an instrumental along the lines of the theme from Love Story for the movie Endless Love starring Brooke Shields. When Zeffirelli changed his mind and asked Richie if he would add lyrics, the Motown star agreed to write some. Then Zeffirelli made one more request – to add a female singer, someone like Diana Ross.

Picture this: You’ve orchestrated the perfect at-home date for your significant other featuring candles, wine, and a lovingly home-cooked (or lovingly ordered via app) dinner. But just as your person texts you that they’re on their way, you realize that you have no idea what sort of music to play to retain the romantic ambience. After all, you can’t have your early 2000s guilty pleasure songs come up on shuffle while you’re trying to stare lovingly into your partner’s eyes (nothing ruins the mood like the distinctive «youuuuuu» at the beginning of «Soulja Boy.» And yes, that example is based on a true story). For that reason, I’ve compiled this list of the best love songs of all time, spanning every genre.

There’s something in here for everyone, whether you’re a fan of hip hop, classic rock, country, or pop. Queue this playlist up on your next date night, or satiate your inner romantic next time you’re in your feelings. Whatever the context, I promise you won’t be disappointed. (P.S. If you’re looking for the best love songs of 2022 specifically, or songs for Valentine’s Day, we’ve got those too.)

«ROS» — Mac Miller

Most romantic lyrics: «I’m in your heart, I’m in your dream/ So fuck the world it’s you and me»

Rationale: When the outside world becomes brutal, many couples turn inward and develop that us-against-the-world mindset. In «ROS,» Mac Miller captures what it’s like to feel close to someone, spending much of this song describing the little things he loves about his partner, like her «stained glass» eyes, butterscotch-scented skin, and kiwi-flavored lips. The lyrics are intimate in every way, and Mac delivers them with characteristic rawness.

«These Arms of Mine» — Otis Redding

Most romantic lyrics: «These arms of mine, they are lonely/ Lonely and feeling blue/ These arms of mine, they are yearning/ Yearning from wanting you»

Rationale: This song hits me right in the chest. It’s impossible not to feel your arms and chest aching like Reddings’ when he sings about wanting to hold his beloved. The music crescendos around his smooth voice as he begs, «And if you would let them hold you/ Oh, how grateful I would be.» It’s such a sweet, earnest plea for love, and its focus on physicality is pretty sexy, too.

«Ex Factor» — Lauryn Hill

Most romantic lyrics: «See, no one loves you more than me/ and no one ever will»

Rationale: No one knows how to obliterate me emotionally quite like Lauryn Hill does. In «Ex Factor» (and on this whole album), she’s incredibly vulnerable, baring all in her devotion to her beau. In this song, we recognize straightaway that her relationship is toxic, but Hill’s honesty is so beautiful that we humble listeners have no choice but to sit, transfixed, and listen.

«Skinny Love» — Bon Iver

Most romantic lyrics: «Told my love to wreck it all/ Cut out all the ropes and let me fall»

Rationale: When this song came out in 2007, I was in middle school, and 12-year-old me incessantly crooned along about «the sink of blood and crushed veneer,» as though my childhood had been rife with tragic love affairs.

I’ve distanced myself from many of my middle school interests, but this song still holds up. Bon Iver is a master at depicting what it’s like to fully surrender yourself to someone while aware that they may hurt you in the end. I still sing this song while I lounge around my studio apartment, drawing on real-life experiences this time, though I assure you that none of them involved blood-filled sinks or crushed veneers.

«Leather and Lace» — Stevie Nicks & Don Henley

Most romantic lyrics: «Lovers forever, face to face/ My city, your mountains/ Stay with me, stay/ I need you to love me/ I need you today/ Give me to me your leather, take from me my lace»

Rationale: This is Stevie Nicks’ lyricism at its most poignant. She wrote «Leather and Lace» herself and then performed it with Don Henley (of The Eagles) while they were dating. This duet is beautiful in and of itself, but their chemistry and passion for each other makes it all the more impactful. An ex played this for me once, unprompted, and I remember thinking, My God, dude. Why would you do this to me?

Wrecked.

The Way You Look Tonight» — Frank Sinatra

Most romantic lyrics: «Lovely, never, never change/ keep that breathless charm/ won’t you please arrange it?/ ‘Cause I love you/ Just the way you look tonight»

Rationale: Ah, yes. The song that plays at every wedding on earth. Popular songs are popular for a reason, though, and this one endures because of the unconditional love that it depicts. In addition to Sinatra’s version, I also love Fred Astaire’s rendition in the 1936 film Swing Time and the sweet yet funny visuals go along with it.

«Everlasting Light» — The Black Keys

Most romantic lyrics: «Let me be your everlasting light/ Your train going away from pain/ Love is the coal that makes this train roll/ Let me be your everlasting light»

Rationale: If you read the lyrics without the music, this song feels like a late nineteenth century poem. The love it describes is so pure and hopeful, and you’ll definitely gain cool-points by playing The Black Keys on a first date.

«To Know Him Is To Love Him» — Amy Winehouse

Most romantic lyrics: «To know, know, know him/ Is to love, love, love him/ Just to see that smile/ Makes my life worthwhile»

Rationale: No one does unbridled love like Amy Winehouse. Her soulful voice takes center stage in this Phil Spector cover, and if you’re not already in love, it will make you want to be.

«Like Real People Do» — Hozier

Most romantic lyrics: «I will not ask you where you came from/ I will not ask you, neither should you/ Honey, just put your sweet lips on my lips/ We should just kiss like real people do»

Rationale: Here, Hozier is trying to convince his love interest to forget that they both have pasts (who doesn’t?) and to focus on loving in the present. There’s a sense that both people in the song consider themselves odd in some way (again, who doesn’t?), and that they’ve been searching for partners like each other for ages. «Like Real People Do» reminds us of how miraculous it feels to love and be loved back.

«Can’t Take My Eyes Off You» — Franki Valli & The Four Seasons

Most romantic lyrics: «You’re just too good to be true/ Can’t take my eyes off of you/ You’d be like heaven to touch/ I wanna hold you so much»

Rationale: To quote every Boomer from my home state of New Jersey: They just don’t make ’em like this anymore. And it’s true―this song manages to balance emotional and sexual yearning without being crude.

«Forrest Gump» — Frank Ocean

Most romantic lyrics: «My fingertips and my lips/ They burn from the cigarettes/ Forrest Gump, you run my mind, boy/ Running on my mind, boy»

Rationale: This is Frank Ocean’s most criminally underrated song and I will fight anyone who says otherwise. In fact, I once made a very loud, spirited defense of this song when I was in high school, right after Ocean’s ill-received performance of it at the 2013 Grammys (opens in new tab).

The song is told from the perspective of Jenny in the 1994 film Forrest Gump. It’s about a broken, tired person coming back to their pure, enduring love after a great deal of time has passed. It’s especially meaningful, in my opinion, because Ocean penned the song in the wake of his very public coming-out.

«Take Me The Way I Am» — Ingrid Michaelson

Most romantic lyrics: «‘Cause I love you more than I could ever promise/ And you take me the way I am»

Rationale: What a throwback! Ingrid Michaelson was responsible for some of the sweetest manic-pixie-dream-girl love songs of the early 2000s, and this one was her most popular. Michaelson rejoices in having found a partner who loves her, flaws and all, and she responds in kind, promising to repair what her partner breaks and to buy him Rogaine when his hair starts falling out.

«Hannah Hunt» — Vampire Weekend

Most romantic lyrics: «A man of faith said hidden eyes could see what I was thinkin’/ I just smiled and told him/ That was only true of Hannah»

Rationale: Oh, Ezra Koenig, how you wound me with your beautiful words! In this song, our narrator seems to be moving around the U.S. with his beloved Hannah until she grows homesick for the east coast. Having lived in New England for around seven years, I’m partial to this song for its «freezing beaches» references, but it’s also a gentle tribute to the way time glides away when you’re with someone you love.

«A Song For You» — Donny Hathaway

Most romantic lyrics: «I love you in a place/ Where there’s no space or time/ I love you for my life/ You’re a friend of mine/ And when my life is over/ Remember when we were together»

Rationale: There have been many versions of this song, but this one’s my favorite (it was also Amy Winehouse’s favorite). Donny Hathaway sings with such feeling that one can’t help but feel he’s reciting a memoir when he sings his apology to a woman he neglected to settle down with because he was too busy performing around the world.

«Maps» — Yeah Yeah Yeahs

Most romantic lyrics: «Don’t stray/ My kind’s your kind/ I’ll stay the same.»

Rationale: Yes, this song is 90 percent just Karen O singing «Wait, they don’t love you like I love you,» but it’s so powerful! If you say something the right way, and the accompanying music is good enough, there’s no need to embellish much more. Proof: Beyoncé clearly nods to this song in her 2016 single «Hold Up.» «Maps» endures, over a decade later, across genres.

«If I Ain’t Got You» — Alicia Keys

Most romantic lyrics: «Some people want diamond rings/ Some just want everything/ But everything means nothing/ If I ain’t got you»

Rationale: This song is all the more touching when you recall that Keys wrote it just as she was beginning to get famous. She promises that her renown―the fruit of all her labor―along with promises of riches, jewelry, or endless life would all mean nothing if she didn’t have her man.

«Pine Tree Lines» — Told Slant

Most romantic lines: «I am the girl my parents made/ Why don’t you love me anyway/ ‘Cause I love the way you take up space»

Rationale: Devastating genius. Lead singer Felix Walworth delivers this song so earnestly that his voice literally cracks during that last line. I’ve never heard a simpler or more startlingly accurate depiction of adoration than loving the way someone takes up space.

«Inevitable» — Shakira

Most romantic lyrics: «To be even more honest/ No one thinks about you/ The way I do» (Translated from Spanish)

Rationale: Shakira spends most of this song laying out all her imperfections―that she doesn’t know how to make coffee, that she doesn’t understand soccer, that she oversleeps, etc.―and then proceeds to ask her man to love her anyway.

«I Found You» — Alabama Shakes

Most romantic lyrics: «I remember all them lonely days/ I traveled out on my own/ Then you brought me everything/ You made my house a home»

Rationale: This is a celebration of finally finding your person. Whereas most love songs are sad and defeated, this one is filled with celebration.

«Rag Doll» — Franki Valli & The Four Seasons

Most romantic lines: «I’d change her sad rags/ Into glad rags if I could/ My folks won’t let me/ ‘Cause they say that she’s no good.»

Rationale: Another Four Seasons song, yes. I’m from Jersey. Sue me.

Franki Valli declares his unconditional love for a girl much poorer than he is, fantasizing about replacing her tattered clothes with lace and finery. In spite of her poverty, he ends the song by crying, «I love you just the way you are.»

He wants to give everything to someone who can offer him nothing, in terms of material goods. This song reminds us that money isn’t everything, but love just might be.

«Since I’ve Been Loving You» — Led Zeppelin

Most romantic lyrics: «But baby, since I’ve been loving you, yeah/ I’m about to lose my worried mind/ Oh, yeah»

Rationale: Man, these lyrics look tragically underwhelming when written down sans musical accompaniment.

What makes this song so romantic, to me, is the organ and bass work by John Paul Jones paired with Robert Plant’s searing vocals. If desperate desire were a sound, this power blues track would be it.

«You Got Me» — Erykah Badu and The Roots

Most romantic lines: «If you don’t worry ’bout where/ I been or who I saw or/ What club I went to with my homies/ Baby, don’t worry, you know that you got me»

Rationale: I cried when I saw The Roots perform this live. Erykah reassures her boyfriend during the chorus that she’ll always be loyal to him, while Black Thought (lead MC of The Roots) uses his verses to tell the story of a lifelong romance. It’s the best love song in hip hop, hands down.

«(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural Woman — Aretha Franklin

Most romantic lyrics: «When my soul was in the lost and found/ You came along to claim it/ I didn’t know just what was wrong with me/ ‘Til your kiss helped me name it»

Rationale: We should heal ourselves rather than wait around for someone to heal us, but that doesn’t mean that love can’t be a healing experience. It’s very romantic to thank someone for making you feel good, and that’s precisely what this song (written by the flawless Carole King) is about.

«Jade» — Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros

Most romantic lyrics: «We can’t help but follow, she’s Buddha, just watch her/ She moves like an old gypsy woman but swears she’s a girl/ And all that she asks we’ll allow her/ For Jade is the girl of the hour»

Rationale: Alex Ebert wrote this song for Jade Castrinos when they were both still dating and still the frontpeople of Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros. It’s a quiet love letter to Castrinos―you could imagine Ebert singing it to her at night by the campfire while the rest of the band is asleep (that’s this band’s vibe, really). And while it’s a shame that we no longer get to watch the sweet relationship between these talented musicians, we’ll always have this gentle hippie love song.

«Wild Horses» — The Rolling Stones

Most romantic lyrics: «Graceless lady/ You know who I am/ You know I can’t let you/ Slide through my hands/ Wild horses/ Couldn’t drag me away»

Rationale: One of the wildest bands of the ’60s and ’70s also happened to write one of the most poignant love songs of all time. This is about a long, deep intimacy between two people, and of being physically unable to resist the object of your devotion.

«Jim Bogart» — The Front Bottoms

Most romantic lyrics: «I would sleep better on your floor/ Than I would ever in my bed/ And if your carpet makes my face itch/ It’d still be heaven in my head»

Rationale: «Jim Bogart» opens with the above lyrics, sung with lead singer Brian Sella’s signature raw vocals. He abandons all pride in his love for this girl, promising to practice his guitar every night, to sleep on her floor without complaint, and to ignore his doctor’s advice―all to win her love. We shouldn’t have to debase ourselves for love (*rolls eyes* yeah, yeah yeah), but this is art. And if we’re being honest, this sentiment is relatable for anyone who’s prayed for their love to be reciprocated.

«Loving You» — Elvis Presley

Most romantic lyrics: «If I’m seen with someone new/ Don’t be blue, don’t you be blue/ I’ll be faithful, I’ll be true/ Always true, true to you»

Rationale: Elvis tells his love not to get jealous or to believe the rumors about him being with women, reassuring her that she’s the one for him. Although multiple sources have claimed that Elvis did, indeed, cheat on his wife, Priscilla, this holds up as one of his sweetest love songs.

«Melissa» — The Allman Brothers Band

Most romantic lyrics: «Knowing many, loving none/ Bearin’ sorrow, havin’ fun/ But back home he’ll always run/ To sweet Melissa»

Rationale: Here, the Allman Brothers sing about a traveling musician who can’t get over his sweetheart no matter how many other women he meets. She always ends up resurfacing in his mind, and eventually, he always returns to her.

«My Old Man» — Joni Mitchell

Most romantic lyrics: «He’s my sunshine in the morning/ He’s my fireworks at the end of the day/ He’s the warmest chord I ever head/ Play that warm chord, play and stay, baby»

Rationale: Mitchell’s soaring mezzo-soprano meanders through a portrait of her relationship in this song, insisting throughout that, «We don’t need no piece of paper from the city hall.» She’s saying that she doesn’t need external validation of the relationship to feel secure in their bond―her partner already gives her all the faith she needs.

«Devil In a New Dress» — Kanye West, Rick Ross

Most romantic lyrics: «Put your hands to the constellations/ The way you look should be a sin, you my sensation»

Rationale: Kanye West is a pretty polarizing figure, but this is still one of my all-time favorite albums. It’s a nuanced tribute to his infamous relationship with Amber Rose, and this song encapsulates the often-sexy, always-complicated connection between two people who aren’t good for each other, yet can’t stay away from one another.

«Love of My Life (An Ode to Hip Hop)» — Erykah Badu, Common

Most romantic lyrics: «But that is all behind me/ ‘Cause now there is no other/ My love is his and his is mine/ A friend became the/ Love of my life»

Rationale: Conventional advice tells us to fall in love with someone who can be our best friend, and this song is about two lifelong best friends who find their way back to one another after time spent apart. With her famously beguiling voice, Erykah Badu captures the joy of being truly known by a partner.

«A Sunday Kind of Love» — Etta James

Most romantic lyrics: «I want a Sunday kind of love/ A love to last past Saturday night/ I want to know it’s more than love at first sight»

Rationale: We’ve all been at this point before. If Etta James were to write this song today, she would be explaining that she’s sick of one-night-stands and Tinder/Bumble/Hinge dates that go nowhere. Instead, she want something substantial. Someone to relax and binge Bridgerton with on the weekends.

May we all find that Sunday kind love.

«Baby I’m Yours» — Arctic Monkeys

Most romantic lyrics: «Baby, I’m yours/ And I’ll be yours until the stars fall from the sky/ Yours until the rivers all run dry/ In other words, until I die»

Rationale: This song sounds like it was written in the ’50s or ’60s. It’s your run-of-the-mill slow song, but there’s something charming about the Arctic Monkeys being the ones to perform this retro pledge of devotion.

«She Will Be Loved» — Maroon 5

Most romantic lyrics: «I don’t mind spendin’ everyday / Out on your corner in the pourin’ rain»

Rationale: I remember listening to this song in middle school, wishing that the boy I had a crush on would love me enough to stand outside my window in the rain. In retrospect, that would have been awkward and inconvenient to explain to my mother, and these days I would probably find such behavior creepy (when I’m in my pajamas in my apartment, peacefully eating Takis and watching reruns of The Sopranos, the last thing I need is a man standing outside, watching me from the street like something out of The Exorcist), but the sentiment of this song still stands.

«Because the Night» — Patti Smith

Most romantic lyrics: «Come on, now, try and understand/ The way I feel when I’m in your hands/ Take my hand, come undercover/ They can’t hurt you now»

Rationale: In this song, which was originally written by lyrical legend Bruce Springsteen, Smith promises her lover that he’s safe with her. If you’ve read Smith’s book Just Kids, you’ll probably listen to this song and think of her and Robert Mapplethorpe singing and dancing to it down the streets of lower Manhattan.

«La Vie En Rose» — Edith Piaf

Most romantic lyrics: «When he holds me in his arms/ And he speaks to me softly/ I see the world through rose-colored glasses» (Translated from French)

Rationale: You definitely know this song. It’s the go-to for every romantic scene in every American movie about France. And, granted, it’s a great choice for a dinner date, especially if you want to get a little slow dancing started.

«Someday» — The Growlers

Most romantic lyrics: «Just stay for one more night/ One day you’re gonna be my wife/ You’ll never have to worry again/ I’m gonna be your man»

Rationale: It sounds lead singer Brooks Nielsen’s now-wife was getting really sick of his bullshit, and that he wrote this song as a plea to get her to stay. It’s poetic, energetic, and hopeful, and it would have worked on me, too, tbh.

«Wouldn’t It Be Nice» — The Beach Boys

Most romantic lyrics: «Wouldn’t it be nice if we were older?/ Then we wouldn’t have to wait so long»

Rationale: This is sung from the perspective of someone who’s already certain about who he wants to spend the rest of his life with. And he’s wishing that the rest of his life could start right now.

«Stay» — Rihanna, Mikky Ekko

Most romantic lyrics: «Not really sure how to feel about it/ Somethin’ in the way you move/ Makes me feel like I can’t live without you»

Rationale: Love isn’t a formula. There’s no real logic to why we fall in love with some people but not others, and Rihanna hits the nail on the head when she says it’s just «something in the way [he] move[s].» It’s reminiscent of The Beatles’ song «Something.» Speaking of which…

«Something» — The Beatles

Most romantic lyrics: «Something in the way she moves / Attracts me like no other lover / Something in the way she woos me / I don’t want to leave her now»

Rationale: This is a slow, dreamy track on an otherwise bluesy album. George Harrison was the Beatle who penned it, writing that he wasn’t sure what exactly triggered his love or whether it would grow. All he knew was that the love was there, and that that should be enough.

(Image credit: Design by Morgan McMullen)

«Androgynous» — The Replacements

Most romantic lyrics: «And they love each other so/ Androgynous/ Closer than we know, love each other so/ Androgynous»

Rationale: This song is about two non-binary people falling in love, which is pretty cool for a song from 1984. Our main characters, archetypically named Dick and Jane, love each other regardless of gender. The Replacements make a compelling argument about why traditional gender roles and clothing should make no difference, and how love ultimately transcends all.

«I’ll Be Seeing You» — Billie Holiday

Most romantic lyrics: «I’ll find you in the morning sun/ In every lovely summer’s day/ In everything that’s right and gay/ I’ll always think of you»

Rationale: You know when you’re freshly in love (or heartbroken), and everything reminds you of that person? That’s what this song is about. Everything around Holiday―the natural world, a park, a cafe, a carousel―is a fond reminder of her beloved.

«Sunday Candy» — Donnie Trumpet & The Social Experiment

Most romantic lyrics: “You’ve got to move it slowly/ Take it in my body like it’s holy/ I’ve been waiting for you for the whole week/ I’ve been praying for you, you’re my Sunday candy”

Rationale: The Social Experiment is the hip hop collective that boasts members such as Chance the Rapper and Vic Mensa (the former of which is featured heavily on this song). Jamila Woods performs the chorus to this song so sweetly that it’s easy to forget the sexual implications, and she and Chance tell the story of a couple that spends a week at a time missing each other, absorbed in thoughts of one another until they’re finally reunited.

«Come As You Are» — Nirvana

Most romantic lyrics: “Come as you are/ As you were/ As I want you to be”

Rationale: There are many interpretations of what this song means, ranging from mental health to friendship to commentary on inauthenticity. But, to me, “Come As You Are” works as the ultimate grunge love song; as a promise to love and appreciate someone just the way they are.

«Please, Please, Please» — James Brown

Most romantic lyrics: “Baby please, baby please, please me/ Baby please, baby please don’t go/ Don’t go, I said baby, don’t baby/ I love you so”

Rationale: This song is almost entirely comprised of James Brown repeating “please,” and, supposedly, he got a lot of flack from his producers about that before its release. But, like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’ “Maps,” this track’s magic lies in the passion with which it’s delivered–and James Brown is nothing if not passionate.

«I Will Always Love You» — Dolly Parton

Most romantic lyrics: “And I hope life will treat you kind/ And I hope that you have all/ That you ever dreamed of/ Oh, I do wish you joy/ And I wish you happiness/ But above all this/ I wish you love”

Rationale: Without a doubt, you’re familiar with Whitney Houston’s rendition of “I Will Always Love You,” but I love Dolly Parton’s soft-spoken, country version as well. Where Houston belts, Parton croons, making this a great alternative for when you want to hear this song on a quiet evening in.

«Songbird» — Fleetwood Mac

Most romantic lyrics: “And I wish you all the love in the world/ But most of all, I wish it from myself/ And the songbirds keep singing/ Like they know the score”

Rationale: Fleetwood Mac’s members were notorious for hooking up within their ranks, and Christine McVie (writer and primary vocalist on this song) was no exception. This is a unique love song, because it does unconditional love unlike any other: It illustrates how it’s entirely possible to love someone and want the best for them while accepting, albeit sadly, that you might not be that best thing.

«First Day of My Life» — Bright Eyes

Most romantic lyrics: “But I realized I need you/ And I wondered if I could come home”

Rationale: This Bright Eyes track makes me wish I was better at playing guitar. Frontman Conor Oberst makes a frank plea for his beloved, telling her, “I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you,” and asking for permission to approach. It’s an exercise in startling honesty, and the result, like the whole album, is profound.

«Sea of Love» — Cat Power

Most romantic lyrics: “Come with me, my love/ To the sea, the sea of love/ I wanna tell you/ How much I love you ”

Rationale: Originally, the last song on this list was going to be T.I.’s “Whatever You Like” because I’m determined that it will play at my wedding one day (I’m not kidding), but “Sea of Love” is too romantic to pass up. With minimal instrumentation, Cat Power delivers a brief but heartfelt love letter whose genius lies in its profound simplicity. 10/10.

24. «Remember When,» by Alan Jackson

The country crooner wrote this for his 2003 album Greatest Hits Volume II, the inspiration being his relationship with his then-wife. Lyrics like «Remember when thirty seemed so old/Now lookin’ back, it’s just a steppin’ stone,» look at love in hindsight.

25. «I Will Always Love You,» by Dolly Parton

Twain added this intense love song to her 1997 album Come on Over. It was co-written by her husband, Mutt Lange. They have since divorced, but the country ballad is still a wedding staple.

Lyrics like «Every time our eyes meet/This feeling inside me/Is almost more than I can take» make this love song a showstopper. It first appeared on the 1999 album Lonely Grill and is the perfect song for couples.

30. «You Decorated My Life,» by Kenny Rogers

This song is truly one of the most romantic songs on our list. Kenny Rogers sings about how his partner’s existence made his life better in this 1979 hit from his eighth studio album Kenny.

31. «I Keep on Lovin’ You,» by Reba McEntire

McEntire released this true-to-life tune on her 2010 album of the same title. It explores the trials and tribulations of love, with one standout line reminiscing about how «Sometimes I swear it might be easier to throw in the towel/Someday we’re gonna look back/And say look at us now.»

32. «Wind Beneath My Wings,» by Gary Morris

Bette Midler’s version is arguably one of the most iconic love songs featured in the tearjerker movie «Beaches.» However, Morris released this heart-wrenching country version in 1983 as part of his Why Lady Why album, which rose to number four on the charts.

33. «Speechless,» by Dan + Shay

This 2018 song, featured on their self-titled album Dan + Shay, makes our top 100 love songs list not because of its heartfelt lyrics about falling in love all over again but also because Dan + Shay received a Grammy Award for Best Country Duo/Group Performance for this beautiful song. So, don’t forget to tell your wedding DJ about this hit for your reception playlist.

34. «I Cross My Heart,» by George Strait

This gem from the 1992 Pure Country soundtrack is proof that George Strait knows his way around the heart. Everyone wants to hear their sweetheart utter these words: «I cross my heart/And promise to/Give all I’ve got to give/To make all your dreams come true.»

35. «I Run to You,» by Lady A

This upbeat love song, from the band’s 2008 self-titled album Lady Antebellum, is perfect for any couple that feels like their partner is the number one person they can rely on. Our favorite lyric is: «And our love’s the only truth/That’s why I run to you.»

37. «I’ll Stand By You,» by The Pretenders

This 1994 rock song, from the group’s album Last of Independents, is one of the best ballads on our list and is about sticking together, even when the road gets rocky. As the chorus goes: «I’ll stand by you/Won’t let nobody hurt you.»

38. «True Love Waits,» by Radiohead

Radiohead isn’t necessarily known for wedding love songs. However, this rock track from their 2001 album I Might Be Wrong is a notable exception, with lyrics like: «I’ll drown my beliefs/To have your babies.»

39. «Wild Horses,» by The Rolling Stones

You know that you’ve got a good thing going when not even wild horses can drag your sweetheart away. This 1971 classic from the album Sticky Fingers is full of devotion and longing, making it one of the fiercest declarations of love in rock history.

40. «(I Just) Died in Your Arms,» by Cutting Crew

The ultimate 1980s sing-a-long for weddings, it was featured on the 1986 Broadcast album and rose to number one on the charts for two consecutive weeks. Since then, it’s been on soundtracks for movies like «Never Been Kissed» and «Hot Tub Time Machine.»

41. «Something,» by the Beatles

No top love song countdown is complete without the Beatles. This 1969 rock classic is from their famous Abbey Road album and was written by George Harrison for his wife, Pattie.

This let-your-hair-down type of love song is from the 1977 Rumors album. It’s an optimistic, fun and upbeat wedding love song that all your guests will love.

43. «Everlong,» by Foo Fighters

The acoustic version of this song from their 1997 album The Color and the Shape is a wedding soundtrack must-have. Some of its most beautiful lyrics are «Breathe out/So I can breathe you in» and «And I wonder/When I sing along with you/If everything could ever feel this real forever.»

Best Indie Love Songs

10. «In Your Eyes» by Peter Gabriel feat. Youssou N’Dour (1986)

We love everything about this piece of music.

Peter Gabriel

Cracking our top 10 is Peter Gabriel’s ’80s rock song that was cemented in movie culture with the 1989 movie «Say Anything» (the same film that gave our earlier pick’s band name). «In Your Eyes» manages to transcend its cheesiness and strike a romantic chord in our hearts every time.

Though picking one version of «Make You Feel My Love» is nearly impossible, Adele’s rendition on «19» is devastatingly beautiful (and once again falls into our «pining» category). Adele is serving up an emotional education to us all, and we’re here for the lesson.

2. «September» by Earth, Wind, and Fire

«Do you remember the 21st night of September?»

Earth Wind and Fire

Funk group Earth, Wind, and Fire crafted one of the best songs of the century in «September,» and the bonus for us is that it’s a delightful love song to boot. Half the song is simple, joyful belting of «Ba de ya,» and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
