MiseryMaroon 5

Maroon 5 – Misery (Official Music Video)

Even if they keep being treated coldly or get hurt by being cheated on, I could picture them saying, “I’ll get back at you,” yet ultimately doing nothing and remaining in love with the person.

They say they’ll take revenge, but in the end, I think they can’t get them out of their head precisely because they still love them.

Be My GirlThe Dramatics

The Dramatics Be My Girl

This selection comes from R&B, a genre rooted in Black music.

It’s a song from the very era when the genre was truly in vogue.

Like a slow dance, its confessions of love carried by a slow tempo seep deeply into the heart.

In any romance, what we want to know is whether we are truly worthy of the other person.

Is there anything more to wish for than to be told, “Only you”?

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.

The UK-born singer’s clear, pure voice resonates deep within the heart.

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?

The 1975 – I’m In Love With You (Official Video)

A heartwarming love song by the British pop-rock band The 1975 that portrays the difficulty of expressing love and the moment of confessing those feelings after overcoming fear.

Based in Manchester, they candidly capture the joy and anxiety of falling in love with an upbeat sound that incorporates elements of 1980s disco and synth-pop.

First premiered in August 2022 at Japan’s Summer Sonic festival, the track was created based on frontman Matty Healy’s real experiences and centers on love that grows beyond cultural differences.

Released in September 2022 as part of the album “Being Funny in a Foreign Language,” it also drew attention for its black-and-white music video themed around a pure confession of love.

It’s a recommended song for anyone who wants to relate to the feeling of being in love or lift their spirits with a catchy, uplifting melody.
