Confession songs that give your crush a push: love songs to express your feelings (21–30)
Because I like you.Yuika
This work, which portrays mutual unspoken crushes, evokes the bittersweet romance of youthful days.
Created by singer-songwriter Yuika, who is active mainly on video-sharing platforms, it was released in June 2021.
The perspective switches between a boy and a girl in the first and second halves, depicting a realistic relationship in which both have feelings for each other but struggle to put them into words.
Listen while thinking of that person you can’t help but follow with your eyes.
It might just give you the courage to confess your feelings.
I LOVE…Ofisharu Higedan Dism
A song that can’t be put into words straightforwardly, yet overflows with an unstoppable love: “I LOVE…”.
It’s a track by the piano pop band Official HIGE DANDism, also known for the classic “Pretender,” and it became a beloved hit as the theme song for the drama “An Incurable Case of Love.” It conveys warm, single-hearted affection—the desire to spend ordinary moments that are everyday life for the other person, yet special to oneself, together by their side forever.
Sound of SnowGReeeeN
Their eyes meet, their hands touch—so you think, okay, their love is about to start! Yet you can’t help but be drawn to how the song never explicitly says what comes next.
It’s a number by GReeeeN.
The cold snow only makes the warmth spreading from their joined hands grow stronger! It’s frustrating, too, but without putting feelings into words, coincidence alone can’t bring two hearts together.
Once you’ve come this far, it feels like just one more step—this song makes you want to give it a try.
From Me to Youflumpool
A refreshing love song that conveys the pure feeling of “I like you” straight to the heart.
Released in 2010 as flumpool’s fifth major single, it was chosen as the theme song for the film “Kimi ni Todoke” and became their first track to rank in the top 10 for two consecutive weeks.
Simply meeting someone you like is such a delightful, happy thing, isn’t it? Make sure to express those feelings clearly—good luck with your confession!
confessionFUNKY MONKEY BABYS
It’s a confessional song whose unadorned words resonated with many people.
When you’ve been together for a long time, you tend to stop saying “I love you” out loud, don’t you? So how about proposing by straightforwardly telling her, “I love you so much,” once again? I think it will really move her.
Love and romanceNovelbright
This is a very warm piece that conveys a love so great it can’t be defined in words.
It’s included on the album “Assort,” released by the rock band Novelbright in May 2022.
The tones of acoustic guitar and synthesizer are soothing, and the light, breezy arrangement offers a charm distinct from their usual band sound.
The lyrics—expressing how even changing yourself to match the person you love feels precious—sink deeply into the heart, especially when paired with Yudai Takenaka’s high-toned vocals.
I highly recommend this song to anyone nursing a crush or wanting to convey their feelings to someone important.
Give it a listen—it might be the push you need to take that first courageous step.
A Little Love SongMONGOL800
A song distinguished by the gentle rock sound unique to Okinawan bands.
With simple yet resonant lyrics, it portrays the bittersweetness of long-distance love and first love.
Included on the album “MESSAGE,” released in September 2001, it was also used as a featured song in a film in 2019.
Known as an insert song for the drama “Operation Love” (Proposal Daisakusen), it’s a popular track covered by many artists.
It’s the perfect cheer-up song for those who want to confess their feelings but can’t find the courage.
Listen to this track, and you’ll surely gain the bravery to confess, too.
