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!

Let Her GoPassenger

Passenger | Let Her Go (Official Video)

Let Her GoPassenger

Passenger is a singer-songwriter active in the British folk-rock scene.

He’s an artist who has created numerous hit songs with catchy lyrics and melodies, and the track we’re introducing today, Let Her Go, is one of his biggest hits.

Strictly speaking, it’s a breakup song, but because it conveys the idea of realizing the value of something only after losing it, it’s recommended for those whose relationships have grown stagnant.

A sweet love song by Reik, the pop-rock band from Mexicali, is already shaping up to be a hit.

Set against the seaside of Baja California, it gently sings of memories of a love that never fades.

Though it was just released in April 2024, it’s already making waves, ranking fifth on Mexico’s pop chart.

With a mellow mood that comforts those who reminisce about past love, this song might be perfect for nights when you want to look back on memories with someone special.

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.

A track that captures the flutter of a lovestruck heart through a fusion of UK pop and garage sounds by ZAYN.

Released in July 2023, it serves as the lead single from ZAYN’s fourth studio album, issued by Mercury and Republic Records.

Created alongside renowned producers including Jon Bellion, the song vividly portrays the strength to fully surrender to love and accept its risks.

ZAYN’s crystal-clear vocals drive home the message: “I can’t live without you.” Energetic yet tinged with bitterness, it’s perfect for those who pursue love without fear.
