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

WANTCHUkeshi

keshi – WANTCHU (Official Visualizer)

This is a song by Keshi, a U.S.-born singer-songwriter with an unconventional background who switched from nursing to a music career.

The intimate world the track creates—his first to emerge from a newly built home studio—feels wonderfully cozy.

While carrying forward the expressive range honed on his 2024 sophomore release, Requiem, the song leaves a strong impression with its blend of indie pop and R&B.

Released in August 2025 and developed from his experiments with recording techniques, it conveys a straightforward devotion—a simple wish: “I just want you.” It’s the perfect listen for those aching nights when you’re thinking of someone intensely, or when you want to sink into music alone—his beautiful falsetto is sure to resonate with your heart.

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.

Talking To The MoonBruno Mars

Bruno Mars – Talking To The Moon (Official Lyric Video)

Even if people around me think it’s strange, I end up speaking to the moon to convey my feelings to a lover far away.

This is the kind of earnest love portrayed in a piano ballad by American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars.

Within the lonely actions born from the sadness of being unable to meet, there’s a single-minded devotion that thinks deeply of the other person.

The song is included on his 2010 debut album, Doo-Wops & Hooligans, and after being featured in a Brazilian TV drama, it spent 22 consecutive weeks at No.

1 in that country.

Anyone who has experienced a long-distance relationship will surely grasp this poignant sentiment.

You might just find yourself looking up at the sky, thinking of someone dear to you.

Valentine – Kina Grannis (Official Music Video)

With her gentle singing voice and the warm tones of an acoustic guitar that touch the heart, American singer-songwriter Kina Grannis captivates listeners.

This is a gem of a love song from her acclaimed album Stairwells, released in February 2010.

The piece expresses a single-hearted devotion to a lover she can’t meet on Valentine’s Day.

The tender feelings that deepen precisely because they’re apart become palpable through the delicate melody.

Couples in long-distance relationships may find themselves resonating with this bittersweet yet comforting emotion.

Listening to this song that cherishes a loved one might even bring the two of you closer together.
