Love songs in Western music: classic and popular tracks to listen to when a romance begins

U Make Me WannaBlue

Blue – U Make Me Wanna

This is a song by Blue, released on March 17, 2003.

It’s about being so infatuated that you can’t stop thinking about the other person, to the point where you get tired of just staying friends.

It’s a classic unrequited-love dilemma.

If you’re someone who wants to hear exactly how the other person feels, you’ll relate to this track.

Close To YouCarpenters

Carpenters Close To You

This is a single by the Carpenters released on May 20, 1970.

The Japanese title is “Harukanaru Kage,” but as the more literal title “(They Long to Be) Close to You” suggests, it’s a powerful love song: I love you so much that birds, stars, and every girl in town would all want to be by your side.

It’s a recommended track for anyone who loves someone with that kind of intensity.
