Date nights, baby showers, and parties can be pretty nerve-wracking especially if you are expecting guests at your house. For occasions such as these, good music is important to set the tone for an awesome evening, whether you’re going out on your first date or celebrating an anniversary together as a couple.
1. Intentions - Justin Bieber
Romantics might swoon over Justin Bieber for his past hits like “As Long As You Love Me" but when the hitmaker decided to write a love letter to his wife Hailey Baldwin, it was bound to be something special.
Since his marriage, Bieber has drawn inspiration from his relationship with Baldwin and this was more evident than ever in his album “Changes.” The album also features his hit single “Intentions” wherein Bieber references everything he loves about his wife. From celebrating his wife’s career as a model and her parents to her skills in the kitchen, this song definitely deserves a place in your romantic playlist.
2. Kings & Queens - Ava Max
To celebrate the union of two souls, or just spice up a dinner date, empowering ballads like Ava Max’s “Kings & Queens” is seemingly the perfect choice. Created as a toast to female empowerment and gender equality, the popular song has since gone platinum.
On social media platforms like TikTok, “Kings & Queens” is quite a hit among users choosing to express their love and romance. Blast this feel-good pop anthem at a party or a romantic candle-lit dinner at a gourmet restaurant and you are sure to have the guests and your significant other singing along to celebrate powerful women doing it all for themselves.
3. Levitating - Dua Lipa
Given her bold dresses and audacious music, one wouldn’t normally associate Dua Lipa with romantic lyrics which is why “Levitating” comes as a welcome surprise. Since its release, the music video for “Levitating” has proved to be one of her most successful to date, with more than 400 million hits on YouTube.
In 2020, when everyone was locked indoors, Lips brought the party and club vibes to our homes with “Levitating.” To make the song even more romantic, the British singer’s boyfriend Anwar Hadid made a feature appearance in the music video, and the two of them were the embodiment of on-screen couple goals.
4. Dance Monkey - Tones and I
In May 2019, Australian singer Tones and I released “Dance Monkey” which in her own words, instantly elevated her fan base and her stock as a legitimate musician. The track gained momentum on the streets of her native Australia before becoming an international sensation and reaching the top spot in 20 countries.
The single also became popular on TikTok with people gravitating towards it for their dance challenges due to its catchy beat which was perfect for dancing with your partner. This is why it became a favorite track among couples to groove out to for the “Dance Monkey Challenge” on TikTok.
