I Want You To KnowZedd/Selena Gomez

This is a song that once made waves as the best love song chosen by teens! It’s a straight-up romance track that declares, “I love you like a love song” right in the lyrics.

In the PV, it suddenly starts with a tone-deaf, mysterious man singing, then a Chinese person speaks Japanese… The music video is downright baffling, but that weirdness made it entertaining, sparked buzz, and turned it into a long-running hit.

How about adding it to your party playlist?

It also features country instruments, making it a sonically enjoyable number.

It’s a collaboration with Normani, and once you learn the lyrics, it’s a perfect sing-along for both men and women! It has a bit of a chill-out vibe, but since around 2017, this kind of slow EDM has been the trend.

Songs that showcase sharp lead sounds and dramatic sidechain swells have become rarer in recent years, so it also carries a touch of nostalgia!
