1. Lasting Lover - James Arthur and Sigala
If your song’s lyrics have been written by Lewis Capaldi, then you better believe it’s going to be an idyllic experience marking a joyous occasion with it. To top it off, musical geniuses James Arthur and Sigala decided to collaborate to make “Lasting Lover” a true masterpiece.
The strong addresses an estranged lover as the protagonist makes one last-ditch effort to save their relationship. It also explores the singer’s inability to become a lasting lover who, in his partner’s eyes at least, is to blame for their romance fizzling out due to his lack of commitment.
2. Sweet Melody - Little Mix
Despite Little Mix’s rocky 2020 year, the girl group’s ‘sweet’ comeback song in 2021 was right on the money. “Sweet Melody” went on to hit the top spot on the U.K Billboard chart with its music video earning more than 100 million hits on YouTube.

While technically speaking, “Sweet Melody” is indeed a break-up song wherein the narrator reminisces about her long-lost love, in reality, it’s so much more than that. As its lyrics tug at our heartstrings, the thumping beat and catchy tunes mean it’s very easy to get lost and into the groove on the dancefloor.
3. Tick Tock - Mabel and Clean Bandit (ft. 24Goldn)
In this unforgettable dance-floor anthem, Mabel opens up about her infatuation with a guy she is seemingly obsessed with. As she struggles with her emotions and looks for a way for her preoccupation with the guy to disappear, 24kGoldn plays the devil’s advocate to argue in favor of her newfound crush.
If you think the lyrics to “Tick Tock” are totally out of this world, that’s because there’s a very good reason for it. It took five writers to pen the verse, pre-chorus, and the chorus in 2020 to ensure that your next dinner date is a romantic affair with “Tick Tock” playing in the background.

4. Blinding Lights - The Weeknd
While most of The Weeknd’s songs, admittedly, feature quite a dark theme, “Blinding Lights” is a welcome change for those searching for his more upbeat and feel-good tracks. The single first took TikTok by storm in 2020 before going on to become a dance-floor hit.
Delving into The Weeknd’s lyrics, “Blinding Lights” is about a young man who falls victim to trouble and temptation in Las Vegas and although he is ‘blinded by the lights’, he remains faithful to his significant other and that he can’t sleep until he feels his lover’s touch at night. How romantic.
