Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

From songs that straightforwardly sing about love in the present tense to those that deftly express complex romantic feelings, and even ones that reflect on past lovers—there are many types of songs that fall under the umbrella of love songs.

It’s a timeless theme that never changes, and surely each of you has one or two favorite love songs.

This time, for those in search of yet-to-be-discovered love songs, we’re focusing on English-language love songs—selecting a wide range of notable tracks from classic favorites to the latest hits across various genres.

We also touch on the lyrics in our reviews, so you’re sure to deepen your understanding of that song you love!

Fast TimesSabrina Carpenter

Sabrina Carpenter, who gained popularity for her role as Maya Hart in the hit Disney Channel series Girl Meets World, has been thriving as an actress while recently focusing on her work as a musical artist.

Among her songs, the love song I particularly recommend is Fast Times.

Its catchy lyrics paired with a stylish yet sweet melody create a charming contrast.

Put On RepeatSabrina Claudio

Sabrina Claudio – Put On Repeat [Music Video]

Put On RepeatSabrina Claudio

Sabrina Claudio, who has Puerto Rican roots.

A song I’d recommend to fully enjoy her expressive vocals is “Put On Repeat.” It’s a track that portrays a woman who longs to be with the man she’s attracted to.

Combined with the emotion in her performance, it creates a decidedly mature atmosphere.

If you’re experiencing unrequited love, definitely give it a listen.

Also, don’t miss the music video, which evokes ballet.

Watching while listening will help you immerse yourself even more in its world.

Damn I Wish I Was Your LoverSophie B. Hawkins

Sophie B. Hawkins – Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover

Damn I Wish I Was Your LoverSophie B. Hawkins

In addition to being a musician, Sophie B.

Hawkins is also an artist who creates painted works.

Her uniquely crafted compositions, which showcase her wide-ranging talents, are striking.

I’d like to recommend “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover” as one of her love songs, depicting romance from a female perspective.

Rather than a typical love song, it carries the message to a man who is constrained for one reason or another: “I’ll be the one to make you happy.”

RoxanneSting

Sting at Carnegie Hall: Roxanne (Excerpt)

RoxanneSting

Sting, who gained international popularity as the vocalist of The Police, is now active as a solo artist and has been acclaimed for his high musicality for many years.

He’s also sung a fair number of main themes for films, so many of you may be familiar with him.

The love song I recommend from his work is Roxanne.

This piece is memorable for its unusual lyrics, portraying the feelings of a man who falls in love with a prostitute.

For this feature, I’ve picked a symphonic arrangement version.

Starry EyesThe Weeknd

The Weeknd – Starry Eyes (Audio)

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.

TerminerWejdene

Terminer

TerminerWejdene

Terminer, the latest track by rising French R&B star Wejdene, is a moving song centered on heartbreak and self-renewal.

Released on January 26, 2024, it vividly portrays the emotional turbulence that follows betrayal and disappointment.

Wejdene’s crystalline vocals blend seamlessly with the supple beat, gripping the listener from start to finish.

Since her 2020 smash hit Anissa, she has enjoyed immense popularity—especially among teens—but this release presents a more mature artistic side.

It’s a perfect song for anyone trying to recover from a breakup or those who admire a strong female figure.

My Love Is Your LoveWhitney Houston

Whitney Houston – My Love Is Your Love (Official HD Video)

My Love Is Your LoveWhitney Houston

Whitney Houston’s hit song “My Love Is Your Love,” released in 1998.

While it wasn’t among her biggest hits, it still sold 4 million copies in the United States alone.

In terms of genre, it’s hard to pin down—somewhere between R&B and neo-soul, perhaps.

It’s crafted with a distinctly unique sound! Lyrically, it portrays a powerful love that endures even if the world were to end.
