[Foreign-Love Songs] A roundup of popular overseas love songs and romance songs [2026]

I Wish I Could Break Your HeartCassadee Pope

Cassadee Pope – I Wish I Could Break Your Heart

If you’re in the mood for a powerful female-vocal love song, I recommend “I Wish I Could Break Your Heart” by Cassadee Pope.

The lyrics portray a woman who, because she’s so in love, feels an urge to tease or hurt her partner a little.

The words are wonderful, of course, but above all, Cassadee Pope’s vocals are outstanding—they resonate deeply just by listening.

Hello My Old LoverDove Cameron

Dove Cameron – Hello My Old Lover (Official Visualizer)

Dove Cameron, who rose to global stardom through Disney Channel dramas and musical films and has since cemented herself as a solo artist following the smash hit “Boyfriend,” released a track in November 2025 that is a serene, piano-centered ballad.

Rather than lingering on or accusing a former lover, its lyrics calmly chronicle the act of letting go and moving forward, and the minimalist sound—stripped of flashy beats—highlights her delicate vocal delivery.

Produced by Jason Evigan and Mark Schick, the track embodies a subtractive aesthetic that draws out every emotional nuance.

It’s a song that quietly stays by your side when you want to face the past on a still night or put your heart in order.

Loved You Better (ft. Dean Lewis)Jonas Brothers

Jonas Brothers – Loved You Better (Official Lyric Video) ft. Dean Lewis

This song by the American brother band the Jonas Brothers reflects on past relationships and sings with sincere regret.

Co-written with Australian singer-songwriter Dean Lewis, it blends delicate piano and acoustic guitar tones with beautiful harmonies from both artists.

Carrying a searing message of lament—born from immaturity—of “I should have loved you better,” it grips the listener’s heart.

Featured on their seventh album, Greetings From Your Hometown, celebrating their 20th anniversary, this track is one the band themselves consider a standout.

It’s a song that quietly stays by your side when you want to face your own heart on a calm night.

Calvin Harris – I Need Your Love (Official Video) ft. Ellie Goulding

This is a collaboration track by Calvin Harris and popular singer Ellie Goulding.

Her delicate, ethereal vocals contrast with the electronic sound and, in turn, bring out the song’s appeal, with the lyrics also elevated by Ellie’s voice.

Listening to it when you need someone important might help you reaffirm your feelings for that person.

PerfectEd Sheeran

Ed Sheeran – Perfect (Official Music Video)

Ed Sheeran’s classic “Perfect,” released in 2017.

At first glance you might think it means “flawless,” but a closer nuance would be “utterly wonderful,” and the lyrics portray a love story worthy of that title.

The song was a gift to Ed Sheeran’s wife, Cherry Seaborn, and according to one account, he even sang it to her at their proposal.

The melody is crafted with a sweet vibe that’s perfect for a love song, so be sure to give it a listen!
