Ranking of Western Love Songs [2026]

Ocean EyesBillie Eilish43rank/position

Billie Eilish – ocean eyes (Official Music Video)

Billie Eilish’s hit song “Ocean Eyes.” When the chorus kicks in, you might expect a typical emotional ballad, but unexpectedly, R&B-style vocal runs make an appearance.

From the way the effects are applied to the overall song structure, it’s a track that makes the most of her individuality.

The mood of heartbreak is beautifully conveyed in the melody.

From gritty electropop to emotional breakup songs like this one, she can sing it all—very much what you’d expect from Billie Eilish.

Call Out My NameThe Weeknd44rank/position

The Weeknd – Call Out My Name (Official Video)

This is a song by The Weeknd, a singer from Canada.

It expresses an unbreakable attachment and poignant lingering feelings toward a former partner.

Even while knowing she’s no longer his, he vows to drop everything if she ever calls for help—a one-sided devotion.

Such feelings, with nowhere to go, tighten the heart.

His vocals, like a cry from the soul, and the ethereal, beautiful melody pierce deeply into the chest.

Anyone who has suffered the pain of still thinking about someone even after the relationship has ended will likely empathize acutely with this feeling.

It might be a song that stays by your side until the very moment this love truly ends.

You&IOne Direction45rank/position

One Direction – You & I

One Direction, the idol group that achieved worldwide success in the 2010s.

Their song “You & I” is one of their classic mutual-love tracks.

Its very sweet lyrics and serious melody leave a strong impression.

In 2013, it earned the Teen Choice Awards’ music category prize for Love Song, among other shining achievements.

It’s a track I’d recommend to fans of soft rock as well.

While One Direction members are currently focused on solo activities, I hope to see the five of them shine together again.

It’s a powerful, emotionally resonant ballad.

Reflecting on a past relationship, the song captures feelings of nostalgia and regret that many listeners can relate to.

Released in October 2015, it drew major attention as the lead single from the album 25.

Adele’s emotive vocals and the gentle, piano-centered melody are especially memorable.

I’m a RuinMARINA47rank/position

MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS – I’m A Ruin [Official Music Video]

The artist Marina and the Diamonds from Wales is known for a distinctive sound that evokes Faroese folk songs and for her uniquely laid-back, individual falsetto.

In “I’m a Ruin,” you can enjoy that signature falsetto of hers.

The lyrics portray the feelings of a woman who ends up cheating—she wants to stop but can’t.

It’s a realistic song that expresses that conflict.

The lyrics are quite intense, so be sure to check out the Japanese translation as well!
