Affairs are generally considered taboo by society, but sometimes you might fall for someone without knowing they’re married.

You probably have feelings you’re keeping tucked away in your heart, too.

This article introduces songs about “affairs.”

Some songs depict people already in an affair, while others are about accepting there’s no future and choosing to part ways.

Many of these tracks express painful emotions, so you may find one that resonates with how you feel.

[An Affair of the Heart] A love song about a secret, unspoken romance (71–80)

SAYONARA Baby Kato Miria

It’s a song from a woman’s perspective, and it feels like a story about an affair or cheating.

It also comes across as being the convenient woman.

You can clearly see her blaming herself for not ending an unrequited love even though she wants to.

The emotion of pretending not to notice, despite knowing, is deeply moving.

I Like You, a Liar / Masanori Onda

I love you, liar.Onda Masanori

A song marked by a poignant melody and a voice that gently stirs the heart.

Crafted by Masanori Onda in July 2022, it tenderly portrays the painful feelings of a woman who continues to love, even as she realizes her partner’s heart has been stolen by another woman.

The minimal acoustic sound carries a faintly sorrowful atmosphere, carefully expressing the descent into a love that is destined to go unreturned.

It’s a track that quietly stays close to those who can’t confide in anyone, as they waver between unwavering affection for their partner and the truth of being lied to.

A person I mustn’t fall in love withCHIHIRO

CHIHIRO – A Person I Mustn’t Fall in Love With (Official MV) Sukininatyaikenaihito

A person I mustn’t fall in love withCHIHIRO

The song’s straightforward title, “A Person You Mustn’t Fall For,” really packs a punch, doesn’t it? It sings about a woman’s heart that becomes all the more aware precisely because she thinks she shouldn’t fall in love.

And yet, even as she says that, she also shrugs and thinks, “What’s so wrong with falling in love?”—women’s hearts can be fickle.

The things we can’t have tend to look all the more dazzling, don’t they?

So it wasn’t me, huh.riria.

This song, Riria.’s “It Wasn’t Me, Was It.”, pierces the heart with the feelings of the so-called ‘second woman’ seen from a woman’s perspective.

When you’re having an affair or a love you can’t tell anyone about, you probably end up bottling up a lot of emotions inside, don’t you? In this song too, there are lyrics about keeping quiet and enduring—wanting to continue the relationship—even though she sensed his actions and attitude and kind of knew what was going on.

I’m sure many people will relate.

You can also feel that, even knowing the truth, she just couldn’t help loving him so much.

Dangerous Playkuriipuhaipe

A bittersweet story of forbidden love from CreepHyp.

This work candidly lays bare the emotions of being consumed by a desire you mustn’t touch.

Have you ever found yourself thinking, “Before I knew it, I’d fallen for them”? Released in January 2020, this song was also chosen as the ending theme for Fuji TV’s “Ukemen.” Sekai Kan Ozaki’s distinctive lyricism vividly portrays the guilty pleasures of infidelity and cheating.

While yearning for a deep bond, you end up settling for something superficial.

It’s sure to resonate with anyone carrying such complicated feelings.
