Lovely love song

Cheating songs in Western music. The world’s forbidden love and infidelity songs.

Have you ever found yourself in a “forbidden love”? Love between adults is complicated.

An affair with someone who’s married—a relationship that should never cross the line.

And yet, that line exists close to everyone, which is precisely why it carries such a mysterious allure, doesn’t it? There are countless love songs out there, but I’ve carefully selected some Western tracks perfect for those of you intrigued by infidelity.

Most of them are in English, so if you find any you like, try doing a detailed translation into Japanese.

You’ll hear the music in a whole new way.

Part Time LoverStevie Wonder

Part Time LoverStevie Wonder

Stevie Wonder is known in Japan for many signature songs like “I Just Called To Say I Love You” and “Isn’t She Lovely.” But not all of his songs are about pure, single-minded love.

This song’s title literally means “part-time lover,” plainly, a “mistress” or “cheating partner,” and it serves as a sort of “manual for an affair.” Let the phone ring once and hang up; if you bump into each other while you’re with friends, pretend you don’t know one another…

Keeping a secret relationship going is no easy task, is it?
