Compilation of love songs themed around homosexuality and LGBTQ+ (31–40)
Stay With MeSam Smith
A lovely song with Sam Smith’s high-toned vocals, sung almost like a murmur, like a whisper.
If you just let it play, it sounds like an ordinary love song, but when it gets to the line “I know full well this isn’t love,” you can imagine it’s about nurturing a love blocked by the walls of gender.
When Sam Smith sings it with that beautiful voice, even a minority love feels like it can be rewarded.
Summer MagicEnjoy Music Club
It’s a song that makes you think, “Isn’t it okay for love to be like this?” Even if the moment feels like magic, it makes you feel like a kind of magic you can make real might appear right now.
When you’re troubled about someone you like and listen to it, it makes you feel, “Maybe it’s okay just the way it is.” It’s a song I recommend when you’re feeling conflicted.
I Think, I Sing, I Say feat. Reddy (Prod by SKY-HI)SKY-HI
The sound is hip-hop.
It might seem like a typical track, but the lyrics are very deep.
Beyond labels like LGBT, beyond language, skin color, ideology, and love—beyond every gender—I feel this song carries a prayer that people around the world will lose themselves in this sound and that it will lead to a world without conflict.
It’s a highly recommended track.
besties foreverShinsei Kamattechan
“Zutomo” is a word often used on social media that means “friends forever.” That’s right—I don’t think friendship is limited by gender.
Even if you’re from different countries or don’t share a language, you can still be “Zutomo.” I think this song, which celebrates that kind of genderlessness, is really wonderful.
Even if it’s not entirely accepted, listening to this song makes me feel that at least a little understanding will be granted.
It sings that it’s enough to be honest with your feelings and believe in yourself.
Highly recommended.
First feelingsSuga Shikao
It’s a gem of a song, woven with warm feelings and delicate words.
Included on the album “SMILE,” released in May 2003, it showcases Shikao Suga’s musicality to the fullest.
Set to a gentle melody, it portrays the budding of a first love and the confusion that accompanies those emotions, resonating deeply with listeners.
The lyrics’ “I” is said to be awakening to same-sex love.
The cool, funk beat–driven sound and introspective lyrics fuse beautifully, reflecting Suga’s spirit of musical exploration.
It’s a recommended track for anyone struggling with love or feeling bewildered by new emotions.

BraveSara Bareilles
When I listen to this song, courage, strength, and tears well up in me for some reason.
The title “Brave” literally means courage.
I feel an open, liberating rhythm, a powerful voice, and something like a force deep within.
In a world still bound by practical realities, this song makes me feel that with just a little courage, we can change things.
It’s a track I highly recommend when you’re feeling down.
Bohemian RhapsodyQueen
By now, there may be hardly anyone who doesn’t know this song—it’s that much of a classic.
Queen’s vocalist, Freddie Mercury, was gay.
Back then, there was still very little understanding of that kind of love, but I feel great respect for Freddie, who lived strongly through those times.
Bohemian Rhapsody became a song that gave courage to people facing the same struggles.
It’s truly a track I highly recommend.
