Western love songs: classic and popular tracks to play when love begins (91–100)
Best I Ever HadDrake
Drake is a rapper who has maintained a long-standing presence with his melodious style—something any hip-hop head would know.
Among his works, the track cherished as a supreme love song is “Best I Ever Had.” It samples the love song “Fallin’ in Love” by the band Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds, resulting in an overall highly melodic composition.
Love Can Be…Vince Staples
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
This love song is a piece themed around heartbreak.
You can probably feel it from the atmosphere of the track as well.
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 mended.
It tells how changes in their circumstances and money led them there.
The sentimental style is beautifully complemented by a soothing male–female duet.
I Was Born To Love YouQueen
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.
SmileAvril Lavigne
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.
