Let Me Love YouMario

Mario – Let Me Love You (Official Video)

Mario is an American singer-songwriter born on August 27, 1986.

Sometimes it happens that the person you like already has someone else they like! If you feel you could love that person more but can’t convey it well, you’ll surely relate to this song.

The Way You Love MeMichael Jackson

Michael Jackson The Way You Love Me HQ

This is a song by Michael Jackson released on July 8, 2011.

It sings of pure love with the message that life was lonely and loveless until meeting you.

When anyone falls in love or things work out well, the usual scenery seems to shine.

This song is also recommended for those who dream of such wonderful moments.

You Were Meant For MeJewel

Jewel – You Were Meant For Me HQ

Even though the relationship is over, I still can’t shake the habits from when he and I were together.

Even my smallest gestures are exactly the same as when he was with me.

This Jewel song vividly portrays days that can never be forgotten and wounds that won’t heal.

Jewel’s sweet, aching voice seems to echo through the room—a highly relatable song that many women have experienced at least once.

Baby IAriana Grande

Ariana Grande – Baby I (Official Video)

I’m totally in love with you.

I mean, it’s like, I’m so into you it’s crazy—and that feeling comes through blatantly in the lyrics.

A song where the emotions come across so directly.

And it’s sung by Ariana Grande.

I highly recommend it as a love song for girls who are in love.

Jake Owen – American Country Love Song (Official Video)

A track released as a digital download in 2016 by American country music artist Jake Owen.

It sings about a love filled with youth and a sense of adventure.

The track reached No.

charts and was certified Gold.

DisasterJoJo

JoJo – Disaster (Official Video)

This is a song released in 2011 by the American singer JoJo.

It expresses the pain yet inner strength of deciding to break up with a lover.

In the music video, JoJo—who dyed her previously brown hair black—clashes with her partner, and in the final scene where she leaves him, you can really feel her inner resolve in her expression.

When you’re feeling down about love, I recommend not only ballads but also pop-rock tracks like this one.

Need You NowLady Antebellum

Lady Antebellum – Need You Now

A classic love ballad that has been cherished for a long time.

The song is divided into female and male vocal parts, using a twin-vocal, dialogue style where a separated couple confesses their lingering feelings to each other.

After the breakup, they’re both afraid of being alone, and it feels like they might get back together…

but they don’t.
