Justin Bieber – Yummy (Official Video)

Justin Bieber’s song “Yummy,” released in January 2020.

Despite the cute title “Yummy,” meaning “delicious,” what a sexy and adult melody and track it has! The word “yummy,” which is familiar even to us Japanese speakers, serves as the song’s punchline, making the flavor of the lyrics easy to grasp.

When sung in Justin Bieber’s supremely sexy and sweet voice, the mood instantly deepens.

Turn On The LightsFUTURE8rank/position

Future – Turn On The Lights (Official Music Video)

Since his debut, the rapper Future has been active for many years.

Centered on a melodious rap style, his music has earned popularity among many heads.

Among his love songs, the one I especially recommend is Turn On The Lights.

While it’s a stylish track, the lyrics are put together in a very no-nonsense way, portraying a bold, quintessentially hip-hop masculine image.

It’s also recommended for those who enjoy hard-hitting rhymes.

Just the Way You AreBilly Joel9rank/position

Billy Joel – Just the Way You Are (Official Audio)

Singer-songwriter Billy Joel from New York.

Isn’t it the ultimate love song that tells you, “You don’t have to make witty conversation, and you don’t need to wear trendy clothes.

You’re most wonderful just the way you are”? The anecdote that the melody came to him in a dream is romantic, too.

This track is a single from the classic 1977 album The Stranger, and at first it was nearly left off because it didn’t seem to fit the album.

However, it went on to earn two Grammys in 1979.

The sound of the warm Fender Rhodes blending with the sweet saxophone gently colors the time you spend with someone special.
