Confession songs in Western music I want to dedicate to someone in love. World-famous classics and popular hits.

GirlfriendAvril Lavigne

Avril Lavigne – Girlfriend (Official Video)

This is the song about the so-called carnivorous girl that even became a hot topic in Japan.

You can easily picture her relentlessly chasing after a boy, insisting, “I’m better than that girl.” It’s a pretty forceful confession, but without that level of single-minded devotion and confidence, it doesn’t seem like something you could actually go through with.

You Belong With MeTaylor Swift

Taylor Swift – You Belong With Me

You Belong With Me, which is also known as a hit from Taylor Swift’s early debut period, tells a friendship story between a boy and a girl who are as close as the “childhood friends” you often see in American high school romance movies.

The girl hopes for the relationship to progress, but is the boy even aware of that?

R U Mine?Arctic Monkeys

Arctic Monkeys – R U Mine? (Official Video)

What the legendary British rock band Arctic Monkeys deliver is the single phrase “R U Mine?” launched from a track whose low-end beat is pleasing to the ear.

Maybe the two have spent so much time together without defining their relationship that they no longer know whether they’re friends or lovers, or perhaps it’s a state of suspecting that one’s partner is cheating.

Naked LoveAdam Lambert

Adam Lambert – Naked Love [FULL VERSION]

Among the many songs Adam Lambert has released, this one pleads sincerely for love while also weaving in a tone that tests the other person’s love.

To face someone with your heart laid bare—truly naked—in the name of sincere love is no simple feat; it takes considerable courage.

For YouThe Calling

The Calling – For you (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO)

Isn’t this song the very definition of a cool love song? Sweet vocals and lyrics that say, “I’m the man for you.” It’s a love song for romantic, cool band guys.

Black or WhiteMichael Jackson

Michael Jackson – Black Or White (Official Video – Shortened Version)

One of Michael Jackson’s classic songs, “Black and White,” by the man hailed as the King of Pop, presents a perspective only he could offer—born Black and later transformed to appear white—and there’s no doubt he was someone capable of speaking to the entire world.

I’ll Get YouThe Beatles

I’ll Get You (Remastered 2009)

It’s The Beatles’ “I’ll Get You,” beloved in Japan alongside Let It Be and Help!, a song everyone here fell in love with.

The snappy, upbeat rhythm might sound like a kidnapping warning at first, but it’s actually a kind of love confession.

The phrasing is classic, but perhaps that approach resonated in that era.
