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!

Call Out My NameThe Weeknd

One Direction – Little Things

Little ThingsOne Direction

I can’t help but smile at the lyrics that say, “I know their flaws well, and I know they’re not perfect—but that’s what makes them great!” Truly understanding someone can be difficult.

But if there’s love… this song teaches us just that.

Taylor Swift – Blank Space

Blank SpaceTaylor Swift

This is a song by Taylor Swift, who can now be considered a top global artist.

While it features sweet words, it’s sung from the perspective of a woman who loves passionately and often.

Since she herself is known for her many romances, she might even be singing about herself.

You can sense the feelings of a cute, slightly mischievous woman.

For men, that’s probably irresistible.

PromisesCalvin Harris, Sam Smith

Let me introduce a slightly unusual track.

This one is a collaboration between Scotland’s hitmaker Calvin Harris and the talented singer Sam Smith.

Judging by the phrase “Loving is free,” and the music video, it seems like the song was made with the LGBT community in mind.

It’s a wonderful approach that makes you feel it’s perfectly fine for love to take many different forms!

Now a global sensation, Justin Bieber is a pioneering net idol who was discovered on YouTube and rocketed through the music industry.

His signature song “Baby” portrays an age-appropriate, innocent view of love.

That said, Justin Bieber at that time still had a youthful, cute appearance.
