Love Can Be…Vince Staples

Love Can Be…

As you might guess from the hard beat with a house-music vibe, it’s a little different from the typical sweet love song.

The lyrics take a girl’s point of view with lines like “What a letdown,” and that cool, dismissive tone is oddly addictive.

CloserThe Chainsmokers

The Chainsmokers – Closer (Lyric) ft. Halsey

This love song is a piece themed around heartbreak.

You can probably sense it from the mood of the track, too.

To summarize the story: two people meet again and fall in love, but as they look back on the past, they realize their relationship can no longer be repaired.

It tells how changes in circumstances and money drove them to that point.

The sentimental style pairs beautifully with the male–female duet, making it a pleasure to listen to!

Queen – I Was Born To Love You (Official Video)

A famous Queen classic known to those in the know.

They’ve made their mark on the rock scene with straightforward lyrics and dynamic music, and I’d love to hear such a direct line at least once before I die.

Freddie Mercury is no longer with us, but he lives on in our hearts forever.

Her cute and cheeky song from when she was called the princess of rock.

She’s all grown up now, but her willful love lyrics have become an anthem that many girls admire—supporting a bold, self-assured style of love.
