Recommended love songs for high school students! A carefully selected list of heart-throbbing romance tunes (71–80)
Partneryuka
A song I’d love people overflowing with feelings for their beloved to listen to is “Partner.” It was released in 2022 by Yuka, a singer-songwriter drawing attention for her realistic, female-perspective take on love.
The song went viral on TikTok, so many high schoolers probably know it.
Its pop melody line set to a light, breezy beat is super cute.
The lyrics honestly express feelings toward a partner, making it a perfect love song for a bright and lively high school life.
Try singing the chorus—packed with love for your partner—together as a couple!
Do Re Mi So La Si DoHinatazaka46
Formed in 2015 as Hiragana Keyaki and debuting in 2019 as Hinatazaka46, their second single is a refreshing love song.
It sings about the feelings of a girl who realizes she’s in love.
The standout feature is the chorus, where they keep singing “Do Re Mi So La Si Do.” Notably, the “Fa” is missing.
By leaving out “Fa,” it creates a feeling of leaping forward with a jump.
This conjures the image of a girl jumping against a blue sky.
It’s a love song that perfectly suits high school students.
The world is falling in loveCHiCO with HoneyWorks
This song, which is the opening theme for the TV anime “Ao Haru Ride,” is a collaboration between HoneyWorks—also known as Haniwa—a creator group active mainly on platforms like Niconico and YouTube, and the vocalist CHiCO.
The song unfolds like a story, so I highly recommend watching the music video along with it.
It portrays a youthful tale in which two girls who are friends end up falling for the same boy.
It’s a recommended track that captures the sweet-and-sour feeling of high school youth.
The holeKing Gnu
The four-piece rock band King Gnu’s early-summer 2019 track “The hole.” It’s a ballad featuring delicate vocals over piano, with a captivating sound.
As the title suggests, the literary lyrics revolving around a “hole” leave a strong impression, and it’s a song where you’ll want to focus on each line of the lyrics carried by this richly atmospheric sound.
This top-tier ballad from an up-and-coming rock band doesn’t just feel heavy—it lands with definite, substantial weight.
Immerse yourself and savor it fully.
You and the summer music festivalSHISHAMO
This is a refreshingly upbeat rock tune with the effervescent melodies of the three-piece all-female rock band SHISHAMO.
Its exhilarating, high-speed beat that perfectly links with high school life makes you feel like you could dash out the door at any moment.
Whether you’re going to a rock festival or not, give “Kimi to Natsu Fesu” a listen while thinking about “you”!
NagiichiNMB48
It’s a cute, summery song released by NMB48 in 2012.
The song is about a girl who’s confident in herself.
She asks, “Who are you going to fall in love with this summer?” and then declares with full confidence, “You’ll pick the cutest—me!” There are lots of cute girls out there, but it’s adorable how she’s overflowing with the belief that she’s number one because she’s worked hard to become your type.
Whether an idol sings it or your girlfriend does, it’s guaranteed to be cute.
It’s a love song you’ll definitely want to listen to a lot in the summer.
playing loversmakaroni enpitsu
Despite its bright sound, Koibito Gokko portrays a bittersweet love.
Released by Macaroni Empitsu as a digital single in 2020, it was used as the tie-in song for Honda’s “Hop on a bike?” campaign.
As the title Koibito Gokko (“Playing Lovers”) suggests, the two people in this song aren’t actually a couple.
It tells a sad story in which, although they like each other, they can’t be honest, and in the meantime the other person drifts away.
It’s a love song I especially want high school boys who can’t bring themselves to say “I like you” to listen to.
