If you’re looking for the perfect song to get intoxicated by a dessert-like, luscious singing voice, I recommend Khalid’s “Softest Touch.” Released as a single in March 2023, it’s a comfortably mellow track where R&B and pop blend seamlessly.

Centered on the theme of the “softest touch” in the title, the lyrics compare the allure of a partner to candy and ice cream, making you feel like you’re melting just by listening.

In Japan, it also gained popularity on the radio, reaching the Top 3 on a Sapporo FM station’s chart in May 2023.

Its relaxed groove makes it perfect background music for spending a cozy White Day evening at home with your partner.

Be sure to enjoy this song along with some sweet treats.
