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

Bus Back To RichmondLucy Dacus

Lucy Dacus – Bus Back To Richmond (Official Lyric Video)

This is a work by American singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus, who also drew attention for winning three Grammys in 2024 as part of boygenius.

Following her March 2025 album “Forever Is A Feeling,” this piece was released as a limited edition in August of the same year.

It portrays a protagonist who knows the romance is already over yet can’t sever their feelings for the other person.

Dacus’s signature, piercingly candid emotional expression vividly conveys the helplessness of clinging to what’s been lost.

It’s the kind of song that seeps deep into your heart when you want to linger in memories of days gone by or spend a quiet night alone in thought.

More Than FriendsLucy Dacus

Lucy Dacus – More Than Friends (Official Lyric Video)

This is a song by American singer-songwriter Lucy Dacus, whose supergroup boygenius recently took home three awards at the 2024 Grammys.

The track is said to portray a complex relationship between two people that those around them struggle to understand.

It delicately weaves the tender, frustrating, and endearing nuances of feelings that can’t be summed up by the phrase “more than friends,” set to an indie-folk sound.

Following her major-label debut album, “Forever Is a Feeling,” this new release is slated for August 2025.

It might be the perfect companion on nights when you find yourself pondering the delicate in-betweens of a relationship, offering quiet comfort to your heart.

Can’t Stop Lovin’ YouVan Halen

Van Halen – Can’t Stop Lovin’ You

Van Halen is an American rock band, and I imagine many musicians have been influenced by them.

Eruption, where the secret art of classical guitar—the right-hand technique, or tapping—was unleashed through ferocious guitar playing, quickly became popular and spread among countless musicians and kids.

Michael J.

Fox from the movie Back to the Future also respected him.

CrushDavid Archuleta

David Archuleta – Crush (Official Video)

David Archuleta gained nationwide recognition by appearing on the popular audition show American Idol, which also produced Adam Lambert.

Having advanced far on American Idol, he not only has solid fundamental vocals but also outstanding looks.

A love song by him that I’d recommend is Crush.

The track portrays the early stages of romance, with memorably bittersweet lyrics about trying to figure out whether the flutter in your chest is actually love.

Last NightMorgan Wallen

Morgan Wallen – Last Night (One Record At A Time Sessions)

“Last Night” is a love song by Morgan Wallen, notable for its gentle vibe.

He achieved the rare feat for country music of debuting at No.

1 on the U.S.

albums chart with Dangerous: The Double Album.

In “Last Night,” the line “There’s no way that was the last night” leaves a strong impression, and the aching lyrics about not being able to let go of someone special tighten the chest.

If you’re going through a painful relationship, I hope listening to this song helps you get through it.

Favourite SongToosii

Toosii – Favorite Song (Official Video)

American rapper Toosii, who began attracting attention mainly on music streaming services after releasing his 2019 single “Red Lights,” has a sweet ballad with a strong R&B flavor titled “Favorite Song.” The opening line—“I’m on stage singing your favorite song; I can see the crowd, but you’re nowhere to be found…”—is especially striking.

Though he’s been separated from someone important, he still sings about the strength of his feelings for them—a theme many listeners may find relatable.

d4vd, hannah bahng – L.O.V.E.U (Official Music Video)

Sparked by a viral hit on TikTok, American artist David shot to stardom, while Australia-born Hannah Bunn runs her own label.

This duet, created by two artists who embody the new generation’s DIY spirit, layers their voices gently over a lo-fi, soothing sound.

With heartfelt, straightforward expressions of love—like likening an irreplaceable person to a four-leaf clover—it’s an uplifting, resonant track.

Released in August 2025, the song appears on the deluxe edition of David’s debut album, “Withered.” The fact that the collaboration began after they met at a concert may be part of what gives the piece its warm, intimate atmosphere.

Listening to this track, which evokes a summery seaside, might just make those ordinary moments with someone special feel even more precious.
