A special feature on Western songs to listen to on White Day—tracks as sweet as sweets

AnyoneJustin Bieber

Justin Bieber – Anyone

How about giving the gift of heartwarming music along with sweet treats? This song, performed by the world-renowned Canadian star Justin Bieber, is perfect for the romantic atmosphere of White Day.

Released in January 2021, it’s a love song that was later included on the album Justice and drew significant attention as a track to ring in the New Year.

The lyrics express a devoted vow of love to a partner—“there’s no one but you”—and the powerful synth-pop sound reinforces that resolve.

It’s also memorable for the music video, in which he plays a boxer, fighting for the one he loves.

Sung with a pledge to spend a lifetime together, this song is sure to add color to the time you share with someone special.

If you’re looking for the perfect song to get intoxicated by a dessert-like, luscious singing voice, I recommend Khalid’s “Softest Touch.” Released as a single in March 2023, it’s a comfortably mellow track where R&B and pop blend seamlessly.

Centered on the theme of the “softest touch” in the title, the lyrics compare the allure of a partner to candy and ice cream, making you feel like you’re melting just by listening.

In Japan, it also gained popularity on the radio, reaching the Top 3 on a Sapporo FM station’s chart in May 2023.

Its relaxed groove makes it perfect background music for spending a cozy White Day evening at home with your partner.

Be sure to enjoy this song along with some sweet treats.

Bedroom FloorLiam Payne

A sweet and bittersweet pop tune from Liam Payne, formerly of the global group One Direction.

Released in October 2017, the single “Bedroom Floor” rides a tropical, feel-good beat while portraying a couple who can’t let go, even as they talk about breaking up.

Contrary to their words, the clothes left in the room speak to their intimate closeness, which Liam Payne’s sultry falsetto captures beautifully—his voice is as luscious as a dessert.

Later included on the album LP1, this track exudes the push and pull of a mature romance.

It’s perfect for heightening a romantic mood on White Day night.

Consider choosing it as the background music for time spent with someone special.

What Makes You BeautifulOne Direction

One Direction – What Makes You Beautiful (Official Video)

A boys’ group that leapt from the UK to the world, One Direction delivers the sweetest love song.

With lyrics that wholeheartedly affirm someone who lacks self-confidence—telling them “You’re beautiful just the way you are”—and a refreshing pop sound, just listening to it makes you feel happy! Released in September 2011 as their debut single, this track is also included on the classic album Up All Night and won Best British Single at the 2012 BRIT Awards.

It’s a song packed with charm as sweet as dessert.

Why not send it along with a White Day gift to someone special, with the message that you like them?

When You’re GoneShawn Mendes

Shawn Mendes – When You’re Gone

If you want to savor the happiness of having someone special by your side, we recommend “When You’re Gone.” It’s a single released in March 2022 by Canadian singer-songwriter Shawn Mendes.

While its upbeat, exhilarating pop-rock sound is pleasant, the song actually centers on the anxiety of loss and the earnest desire for someone to stay by your side.

The contrast between the bright melody and the wistful lyrics really strikes a chord.

It reminds you how precious everyday life can be, making you want to express your gratitude to your partner again on White Day.

Why not listen to it together with your loved one and deepen your bond?
