Versace On The FloorBruno Mars

Bruno Mars – Versace on the Floor (Official Music Video)

With the Yamaha DX7-style electric piano shining through, it’s a glittering phrase over a slow mood.

It feels like a song that’s time-traveled straight from the past.

This is revival at its finest; the lyrics are richly seductive, likely to resonate with those who want to confidently pull their partner in.

The line “take off that Versace dress” is a distinctly Bruno Mars–style, celebrity turn of phrase.

Lovin’ So HardBecky G

Becky G – Lovin’ So Hard

This is a 2015 release by Becky G, who pairs a cute appearance with a cool singing voice.

The song expresses the happy feelings of thinking about a lover, and if you watch the music video, you’ll notice that Austin Mahone appears in it.

At the time, Becky G and Austin Mahone were dating and head over heels for each other, which you can tell from the video, though they have since broken up.

Even so, their date in the video is heartwarming, and the song reminds you how wonderfully fun it is to spend time with someone you love.

ShiversEd Sheeran

Ed Sheeran – Shivers [Official Video]

Ed Sheeran, a singer-songwriter who’s hugely popular in Japan as well, has produced many love songs so far, and his latest one is Shivers.

This track finely portrays the heart’s jumpy reactions at the very moment you fall in love.

The parts that depict such intense displays of affection—almost to an exaggerated degree—feel so characteristic of him (haha).

The melody is, as always, extremely catchy, so I think you’ll like it!
