[2026] A roundup of famous and popular Western songs about jealousy (91–100)
Starry EyesThe Weeknd
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.
I Wish You Loved MeTynisha Keli
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 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.
Can’t Get EnoughJennifer Lopez
This is a song by Jennifer Lopez that expresses the feeling of being swept up in love.
The lyrics convey deep affection and desire for a lover, moving anyone who listens.
Released in January 2024, the track is the lead single from her long-awaited new album, “This Is Me…
Now.” It’s also tied to a film of the same name set to stream on Amazon Prime, showcasing Jennifer Lopez’s talents in both music and visual storytelling.
It’s a perfect pick for those who want to dive headfirst into love or for couples looking to reaffirm their bond.
It also makes a great romantic background track for a Valentine’s Day dinner.
Love The Say You LieEminem
This is a love song by Eminem, whose relentlessly refined rapping—especially his high-speed delivery and flow—gives him overwhelming charisma that few can match.
It’s also easy to pick up as a karaoke song and is a cool track for men in their twenties to sing.
