Classic Western songs to listen to late at night (1–10)
Lost Without URobin Thicke
A late-night classic by Robin Thicke, who commands absolute name recognition thanks to his pop sound infused with refined style and impressive vocal ability.
His soaring vocals deliver an exceptional lift, imparting a sense of weightless drift and guiding you into a chill-out vibe.
CirclesPost Malone
A track included on Post Malone’s 2019 album “Hollywood’s Bleeding.” The work set an astonishing record by staying in the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10 for 39 weeks.
Characterized by a gentle acoustic groove and a melancholic melody, it portrays two people caught in an emotional loop that keeps their relationship from ending.
Its translucent sound perfectly suits the winter atmosphere and is ideal for quiet, contemplative nights.
It’s a song that will deeply resonate with anyone who’s found themselves repeating the same patterns in love.
Night Before ChristmasSam Smith
Singer-songwriter Sam Smith, known for his distinctive high-tone voice, originally focused mainly on ballads, but his musical style has evolved since around “Unholy,” and he’s now exploring a variety of genres.
His Christmas number “Night Before Christmas” is a piece imbued with a soulful vibe.
Because it’s in 3/4 time, the rhythm can be hard for Japanese listeners to feel, but the tempo is very slow and the melodic leaps aren’t extreme, so if you’re comfortable with Black music, definitely give it a try.
Take You DownSZA
It’s a track with a laid-back beat and a mysterious vibe—perfect for a summer night.
It’s included on Lana, the reissue of American R&B artist SZA’s acclaimed album SOS.
SZA is known for her emotionally rich lyrics, and this song feels like it portrays intimate, sensual moments with someone special.
Her whispery vocals over restrained production make it feel like you’re sharing a secret between two people.
Originally left off the album, it was released just before her performance at the Super Bowl in February 2025, surprising fans.
Why not give it a listen on a summer evening, when the breeze has cooled a bit and you’re ready to relax?
I Like To Move ItReel 2 Real
A late-night classic by Reel to Real, a leading figure in the house music scene known for their melodic tracks.
Its straightforward lyrics help whip up a brisk, refreshing mood.
No ChillPARTYNEXTDOOR
Are you familiar with PartyNextDoor, the artist from Canada? He’s known for a style that fuses R&B with dancehall and hip-hop.
This track, included on his album PartyNextDoor 4 released in April 2024, is perfect for summer nights.
The languid saxophone tones and shadowy melodies intertwine with the heat in the air.
The lyrics portray a passionate game of love that makes it hard to stay cool, evoking a sensual, slightly dangerous mood.
The album featuring this song reached No.
10 on the Billboard 200.
Put it on during a summer dusk drive or while unwinding with a slightly grown-up vibe, and you’ll find a pleasant spark amid the languid heat.
