21 Songs for Celebrating All Kinds of Love on Valentine’s Day (2024)

This song is all about that comfy stage of falling in love and feeling right at home with your person. H.E.R. just knows all the right notes to hit with her smooth voice and captures all the right emotions with her lyrics.

This ode to quarantine love makes me feel all the feels. A lot of couples and families were literally stuck with each other for the duration of the pandemic. This cute lil song by Ari and Justin just brings out all the warm feelings about being with your loved ones during such a crazy time and not wanting to be anywhere else.

This bop by Ella Mai gets exactly how it feels when you meet someone who makes your heart skip a beat. The “getting all giddy and butterflies in your tummy” phase is always the best part.

IDK about you, but Harry Styles singing to just let him “adore you” is all I need for a great Valentine’s Day playlist.

John Legend is an absolute romantic, and this song is another masterpiece he can add to his roster of new classic love songs. “Bigger Love” will definitely make you aspire to find (if you haven’t already) your great love(s).

Halsey peels things back and goes acoustic to sing this ballad about allowing herself to be vulnerable and falling in love with a beautiful stranger. It’s so pretty that you just might cry.

This is the song that’ll make you feel all the warm, cozy, lovey-dovey feelings. A duet by Daniel Caesar and H.E.R. is everything that’s right in the world.

This sweet song by indie artist Caro Juna puts into words all the thoughts and feelings you can’t help but have when you’re crushing on someone and they might not even know it. It’s fun, lighthearted, and a track that’ll remind you why you love love.

This hit by Kim Petras is perfect for a dance party at home—in the living room over Zoom with your besties or alone in the shower.

A love song playlist wouldn’t be complete without the queen Carly Rae Jepsen. And while “Call Me Maybe” is a popular choice, I suggest you queue up this Dedicated Side B bop ASAP.

Janelle Monáe captures the electrifying feeling of being with someone who makes you feel all sorts of things in your body.

Kehlani knows that when it’s right, it’s right. We’re all here for healthy relationships that have us “eatin’ right and sleepin’ through the night” and S.O.s who embrace all our flaws.

There’s really no greater love than loving yourself. Some might see it as a tired cliché, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true. And Lizzo sings about it best in “Soulmate.”

The title song for Taylor Swift’s most lovey-dovey album is worth the listen. Slowed down with a retro sound to it, “Lover” is the perfect song for slow-dancing and 100 percent has high school prom feels—in a good way.

You can’t not dance to Dua. And “Levitating” will definitely get you up on your feet. This bop is another fun, flirty song about an out-of-this-world fling.

I’m not sure this needs any explanation. This is the love song, and if it isn’t already on your playlist, then IDEK.

This might just be the best cover I’ve ever heard of this song. And this could be a hot take, but I think it’s better than the original by LANY. There’s just something about this stripped-back version and Kim Woo-sung’s voice that makes me weak in the knees.

This song by Chance is really all about love—romantic, familial, and just a love for life. From its release in 2013 up until now, the lyrics still ring true.

This is for those beautiful nights dreaming about love, destiny, the possibilities of love, and all those other mushy things. Ben&Ben puts it all so poetically in “Maybe the Night.”

There’s no experience quite as cathartic as blasting “Still Into You” and singing the chorus as loud as you can in your own room. If you haven’t done that, I suggest you do so this Valentine’s Day if you don’t have any better plans anyway.
