[2026] A roundup of classic and popular Western songs about jealousy

Your LoveThe Outfield

The Outfield – Your Love (Official HD Video)

It’s full-on 80s sound! The soaring high-tone vocals match perfectly with the exhilarating tune.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when you’re craving a bit of warmth.

Unfortunately, this track didn’t catch on in the band’s home country of the UK, but it broke into the Top 10 on the U.S.

Billboard Hot 100.

It’s also a popular walk-up song among MLB players in the United States.

Starry EyesThe Weeknd

The Weeknd – Starry Eyes (Audio)

Some of you may have gone through painful experiences and feel like you don’t want to fall in love anymore.

In that case, I’d like to recommend The Weeknd’s “Starry Eyes.” In the song, a man tells someone who’s been hurt by love that he will heal them.

Of course, it’s also fine to listen from the man’s perspective rather than the woman’s.

Either way, listening should ease your mind and help you feel more positive.

Also, pay attention to the emotionally charged scat singing.

It’s a song that captures a common crush-time dilemma: wanting to be more than friends but being afraid that making a move might end the relationship.

It’s an unrequited-love track that makes you want to sink into your feelings while empathizing with Tynisha Keli’s poignant lyrics.

XOBeyoncé

Beyoncé – XO (Video)

Beyoncé is a singer who gained worldwide popularity with her powerful vocals, and she’s extremely popular in Japan as well.

Her song “XO,” released in 2013, was a hit in the United States.

While it’s a song about mutual love, Beyoncé has said she created it for those who have lost a loved one, and reading the lyrics, that interpretation certainly makes sense.

Musically, it’s power pop with heavy use of synthesizers.

Be sure to check it out.
