75 Best Love Songs Of All Time - Music Grotto (2025)

Music is often inspired by emotion more than any event, and love is one of the most powerful emotions in the world. Whether an artist became obsessed, crazy, or infatuated with a person, there’s no counting how many tracks have been devoted to a special someone out there. Some love songs are full of regret, others are all about getting busy.

But no matter the subject, they speak to people on a deeper level. In this article, we’ll bring you the 75 best love songs ever recorded.

1. Endless Love – Diana Ross and Lionel Richie

The original version of Endless Love saw Lionel Richie team up with Dianna Ross to produce an incredible love duet. They spend the entire song promising and describing the boundless amounts of love they have for each other. It’s been called one of the greatest duets of all time, and listening to a live version of it makes it an obvious choice for the chart. You can also hear cover versions by Mariah Carey and Luther Vandross, as well as Shania Twain and Kenny Rogers.

2. This Magic Moment – The Drifters

This Magic Moment is an all-time classic, used in films and other media countless times since it was originally recorded by The Drifters in 1960. It mainly describes the moment the narrator falls in love with a girl, the same moment they finally kissed. It was unlike anything he had ever experienced and shot a bolt of lightning through him, instantly changing the way he saw the world. Its original release spent 14 weeks on the Hot 100 and was a number-one single in Canada.

3. You Got Me – The Roots Feat. Erykah Badu

The Roots made one of the best love songs of all time when they produced You Got Me. The track was released as a single from their 1999 album Things Fall Apart and was a huge success. It would go on to win a Grammy Award for Best Rap Performance by a Duo or Group in 2000 and has continually appeared in any list of the best love songs of all time.

4. How Deep Is Your Love – Bee Gees

How Deep Is Your Love was one of the best pop ballads of the 70s. It would eventually be used on the soundtrack of the film Saturday Night Fever and was a huge international hit. It was within the top three in the UK and Australia, while in the US, it topped the Billboard Hot 100.

Rolling Stone would recognize it as an all-time great by placing it on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. This is a fan favorite among Bee Gees’ listeners with even band members calling it their favorite.

5. At Last – Etta James

At Last by Etta James might be one of the most recognizable love tracks of all time. It’s used, quite literally, in other media as a sign that someone has fallen in love or is about to get to make some love. It’s got some beautifully crafted lyrics, however, her voice on the recording of the song outshines them all. It served as the title track of her 1960 album and the song itself was enshrined in the Grammy Hall of Fame in 1999.

6. I Will Always Love You – Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston sang several amazing love songs, but I Will Always Love You might be the most powerful one. It sees a couple separating, likely because they’ve come to an impasse where it’s just best if they aren’t together. Despite the split, she sings to tell her partner that she will always have feelings for them and love them in her heart. A love track for all of the couples who thought they were meant together and formed a bond that couldn’t be broken, not even by a heartbreaking breakup.

7. Be My Baby – The Ronettes

Be My Baby by the Ronettes isn’t just one of the best love songs of all time, it’s also often ranked as one of the best singles of the 60s. It would become the group’s biggest hit, rising to number two in the US and number four in the UK. It’s also got one of the most popular drum phrases in music history, often used in pop music even today. As of 2006, the track is enshrined in the US National Recording Registry as a song of importance by the Library of Congress.

8. I Can’t Stop Loving You – Ray Charles And The Raelettes

I Can’t Stop Loving You was originally written by Don Gibson, recording it as early as 1957. Ray Charles recorded the most popular version out of any notable artist to pick up the song, seeing his version reach the top of the Hot 100. You can find his version on Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music, an album from 1962 that was buoyed by the single.

9. Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours – Stevie Wonder

Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours by Stevie Wonder is one of the best-known soul love songs of all time. Ever since it came out in 1970, it’s been covered by artists and included in soundtracks. It’s a powerful track, and the first one he produced on his own. Rolling Stone included it on their list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time, and his track is forever immortalized in the minds of all who’ve heard it.

10. What’s Love Got To Do With It – Tina Turner

What’s Love Got To Do With It is one of the most awarded songs in history. In addition to giving Tina Turner her only Hot 100 number one, it won three Grammy Awards, would eventually make it into the Grammy Hall of Fame, and would appear on Rolling Stone’s list of the best tracks ever. It was one of those perfect pop songs that saw her at her best, exuding attitude, and had more soul in it than just about anything coming out at the time.

11. I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing – Aerosmith

Aerosmith is known as a legendary band in the rock community and produced some of the best classic rock songs in history. Their foray into love tracks was just as good as the rest of their work though, with I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing becoming insanely popular. It’s been covered by a lot of other artists, and their song about wanting to be ever-present in their lover’s life is as good as it gets.

12. Running Up That Hill – Kate Bush

Kate Bush’s Running Up That Hill is an iconic entry to our list. In it, she makes a deal with God to switch places with a lover so the two can see how they each feel. It’s full of emotion, hopeful of a future where the two of them are together and happy but not sure it can happen. After the Netflix Series Stranger Things used it in its fourth season, it reentered the charts and peaked at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 while topping charts for several weeks internationally.

13. When You Say Nothing At All – Alison Krauss

Actions are said to speak louder than words, and it’s always more meaningful when someone does something for you than when they make promises. Alison Krauss’ version of When You Say Nothing At All had a level of depth to it that wasn’t as apparent in Keith Whitley’s original version and was a crossover hit rather than just a country one.

14. Because You Loved Me – Celine Dion

The right kind of love is supportive, will push you to be a better person, and will help you achieve things you never thought were possible. Celine Dion’s Because You Loved Me is a track that was an incredibly grateful and beautiful love song about being lifted up by the love she was given. It was something that affirmed the feelings of millions, that they were better off thanks to the love they received from a partner.

15. I Would Die 4 U – Prince

There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for someone else. Prince’s declaration of love is meant to be about the depth of his feelings and how he’s willing to do absolutely anything for the person he loves. I Would Die 4 U was him at his best, delivering one of the best love songs of his career and producing an all-time classic.

16. I Want to Know What Love Is – Foreigner

Some love songs are less about telling someone you love them and more about love in general. I Want To Know What Love Is by Foreigner is one of the latter, a power ballad that saw the narrator begging for love to come into their life. It was the band’s biggest hit, rising to number one in both the US and the UK while making it onto several lists of the greatest love tracks of all time for its upbeat and emotional lyrics.

17. My Girl – The Temptations

The first number-one single for The Temptations was My Girl. It would become their signature track and is one of the most culturally-relevant love songs in history, preserved within the National Recording Registry. It’s a sweet track about how no matter what hardships life throws at the narrator, he has a reason to smile, and that reason is his partner.

18. Love Story – Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift’s Love Story was one of the biggest hits of the century. The incredible songwriter penned one of the best love songs in history by simply asking her love to be part of the best love story imaginable with her. Unfortunately, I doubt it worked out—based on her later work—but the feelings are just as powerful and strong despite this, making for one of the best love tracks of the 21st century and helping elevate her career to even greater heights.

19. What A Wonderful World – Sam Cooke

What A Wonderful World is all about the way your view of the world changes when you’re in love. All the small things that can brighten your day are magnified tenfold and the negative ones are diminished. It also became the biggest hit of Sam Cooke’s career and served as one of the best blues love songs of the era. Nothing you could know has any leverage over love and feelings.

20. Crazy Little Thing Called Love – Queen

Queen wrote about love a lot, it was a theme of their music. Crazy Little Thing Called Love was one of their best, discussing the insanity that it is to love someone. You’ll do things you never normally would, come out of your comfort zone, and take on the world just for that one person. A smile is usually all it takes, but the song was relatable because everyone in love would do anything they can for their partner, no matter how crazy it seemed.

21. When A Man Loves A Woman – Percy Sledge

When A Man Loves A Woman has been recorded by a lot of different artists to varying degrees of success, but Percy Sledge was the first one to do it. It instantly gave him number one on both the R&B charts and the Billboard Hot 100, charting in several other countries and becoming a major hit love song.

22. We Found Love – Rihanna Feat. Calvin Harris

Is there anything better than finding love at your lowest point? Many people go through such crappy relationships they give up or look at the world’s current dating scene and feel hopeless. Rihanna took all of that on and gave listeners hope with We Found Love, an anthem for couples who found and brought each other up from a low point in life or finally found the person they were looking for after they had given up.

23. It’s Your Love – Tim McGraw

Love is a powerful force, and not in the cartoonish ‘love triumphs all’ or ‘the power of friendship’ kind of way. It does something to you physiologically and psychologically. There’s a reason emotions are called feelings, they surge through you in a tangible way. It’s Your Love by Tim McGraw taps into that, the way love sends shocks of emotion and feeling through you in a way you would never have known about if you’ve grown numb to the world around you.

24. You’re Still The One – Shania Twain

No matter what troubles lie in your path, no matter what obstacles to your love exist, and no matter how many times you fall apart, that right person is still going to be the object of your love. Shania Twain took a bit of a break from the pop country style she made famous in the 90s to give us You’re Still The One, a sweeping love song about how no matter what happens, her partner is still the one she loves and goes to when she needs support.

25. Someone You Loved – Lewis Capaldi

Not all of the best love songs have a happy ending. Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi is downright sad, but it’s still a beautiful expression of emotion. He was just getting used to being loved when his partner gave up and without them, he feels himself sinking into his old patterns with nobody to save him from drowning. It’s a newer track when compared to a lot of hits on this list, but it’s more than deserving of a spot.

26. Love The Way You Lie – Eminem feat. Rihanna

Here’s another song without a happy ending. Eminem’s Love The Way You Lie was one of the very best songs of 2010 and followed the emotions of betrayal and breakup after an already tough relationship is coming to an end. It’s a bit of a sarcastic take on love, with the love for the way the other person lies indicative of how tough it is to get out of a toxic relationship.

27. I’m On Fire – Bruce Springsteen

Bruce Springsteen’s vaunted Born In The U.S.A. album had many hits, but I’m On Fire was the best love song of his career. It would be built on sexual tension and pent-up desire, a burning track meant for the lover you’re longing for. It was also incredibly popular, giving him his fourth number-one single—out of seven—to come from the album.

28. Crazy In Love – Beyoncé Feat. Jay-Z

Crazy In Love was one of Beyoncé’s best early solo songs. Featuring guest vocals from the man who would become her husband, it incorporated pop, hip hop, and R&B to introduce her to the world stage and win universal acclaim. A beautiful song about how in love the artist was, it represented a romantic obsession that drives you to act differently than normal.

29. I Love A Rainy Night – Eddie Rabbitt

I Love A Rainy Night is one of those smooth, finger-snapping tracks that will have you bopping around the house and dancing in the kitchen. It was the second single Eddie Rabbit released from Horizon, and it would quickly reach number one on three separate charts in 1981. It was a love song that was more about the love of peaceful solitude than feelings for another person, but a love many could relate to regardless of that fact.

30. I Wanna Dance With Somebody – Whitney Houston

The lead single of Whitney Houston’s second album wound up being one of the most universally loved songs she ever produced. I Wanna Dance With Somebody had an infectious energy and was all about the desire to enjoy life with somebody who loved you the right way. It was an international chart-topper and would go on to go six times platinum in the US alone.

31. Eye Know – De La Soul Feat. Otis Redding

Eye Know came from De La Soul’s debut album 3 Feet High And Rising in 1989, but was only released as a single in the UK. An upbeat love song that made use of several stellar samples, it still remains an incredible love track about knowing your partner.

32. Everywhere – Fleetwood Mac

Everywhere was nothing less than a showcase of Christine McVie’s songwriting talent. From the time it was released on Fleetwood Mac’s Tango In The Night album in 1987 until the present day, it remains an incredible love song that’s received near-unanimous praise from fans and critics alike.

33. Song #3 – Stone Sour

If you’re looking for a rock love song that’s largely slept-on, look no further than Song #3 by Stone Sour. The lyrics are marvelously beautiful, with the narrator telling their partner they were saved by them, they were the only ones who ever loved them properly, and they made them better. They would also do absolutely anything for them.

34. Forever and Ever, Amen – Randy Travis

This one is a bit of an older entry from the country side of love songs. Randy Travis had a few tracks that could have made the list, but Forever And Ever, Amen is a classic. He spends the track promising to love his partner forever, from the time they got together until both are old and gray. The ‘amen’ of the song is mostly just to put the cap on it, the same way you end a prayer.

35. I Want To Hold Your Hand – The Beatles

The Beatles had to come into this list somewhere, and I Want To Hold Your Hand is as good a place to find a love song as it gets. The band’s first American number-one, its sweet tones had the whole world talking and set new records for what eventually became one of the most acclaimed bands in history.

36. Love Me Like You Do – Ellie Goulding

Love Me Like You Do received a lot of attention as part of the soundtrack for the film Fifty Shades Of Grey, but it’s a track that should be recognized for being able to stand on its own as a good love song. Poetic, evocative, and even provocative, it’s an absolute treat to the ears.

37. (Everything I Do) I Do It For You – Bryan Adams

Bryan Adams found a very successful international hit with Everything I Do, I Do It For You when he released it in 1991 on his own album and on the film soundtrack for the film Robin Hood: Prince Of Thieves. A power ballad about how the narrator does everything for his partner was likely a loving song from the road to a special someone back at home.

38. I Need You – Tim McGraw Feat. Faith Hill

Tim McGraw appears again to explain exactly how important his wife is in his life. He needs her more than anything else, comparing his desire and need for her to all manner of other important things in life like rain. He acts differently because of her too, avoiding desires that may hurt her and living a life she can be proud of.

39. I Knew I Loved You – Savage Garden

I Knew I Loved You is a song that describes the beginning of love. There’s always a moment when you look at someone and realize you love them, and this track captures the emotions and feeling behind that very well.

40. How Do I Live – LeAnn Rimes

LeAnn Rimes dropped one of the best country love songs of the decade when she released How Do I Live. A wonderfully powerful ballad about the strength of her love for her partner and how she couldn’t imagine life without them. Life with them was just better and even the thought of not having them was paralyzing, a pretty track backed up by her sobering vocal prowess.

41. Nothing Compares 2 U – Sinéad O’Connor

Sinéad O’Connor and Prince both worked on the writing of Nothing Compares 2 U, and both released their own contentious versions of the song. Hers was the better one by far, turning into an international hit extolling their lover.

42. Dying Man – Morgan Wallen

This is one of those times that I include one of my favorite tracks out there. Dying Man by Morgan Wallen is all about how the love of a woman gave his life purpose again. It’s one that’s deeply relatable for me, as the narrator sees no future for himself and is mostly just waiting on something to end his life. That is until she walks in and gives him a good reason to live. It’s a beautiful love song, a fairly new one, and one that deserves your time.

43. We Belong Together – Mariah Carey

Some love songs are meant for someone you’re no longer with, and We Belong Together by Mariah Carey is one of those. When her partner left, she felt like a part of her left with them, and she begs for them to return to the relationship because they were meant to be together.

44. You Belong With Me – Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift’s early work fit much better into the country genre than her later forays into pop, but both have her songwriting fingerprints all over them. You Belong With Me is very much a teen romance, seeing the narrator yearning for the boy she loves despite him being with someone else. It was a very relatable track, one that spoke to many people who saw the person they wanted with someone that wasn’t as good for them as they could be and other lovers who felt like they had found their soulmate.

45. Total Eclipse of the Heart (Turn Around) – Bonnie Tyler

Total Eclipse Of The Heart (Turn Around) would become Bonnie Tyler’s biggest hit, topping charts in the UK on its way to becoming one of the best-selling singles of 1983. It was a pretty big hit in the US as well, seeing as how I heard it growing up around my mother and evident in the Grammy nomination it received. It was a power ballad for the ages and one of the most memorable songs of the 80s.

46. Can’t Help Falling In Love – Elvis Presley

Elvis Presley recorded a lot of music for his films, with Can’t Help Falling In Love With You being produced for his Blue Hawaii album. Initially written from a woman’s perspective, the song has become iconic in history, finding success in both original form and as a cover track for quite a few other artists in the years since its release.

47. I Cross My Heart – George Strait

I Cross My Heart is one of those timeless country love songs that you just can’t help but enjoy. He’s so in love with his life that he promises to put all of his energy and everything he has into giving her what she needs. And what better declaration of love could you ask for? Assuming it isn’t one-sided, the effort spoken of in this track can be a wonderful foundation for a relationship, and it serves as a beautiful reminder of your love of your devotion to them.

48. Time After Time – Cyndi Lauper

Time After Time is one of those timeless tracks that has lived forever. Cyndi Lauper’s massive hit from 1983 brought the artist her first number-one single and got its name from a show she saw in a TV Guide. It was one of the best love songs of the year, taking a slightly melancholy approach to love as a whole and bringing one of the most memorable choruses of the decade. Strangely, it became one of her signature tracks despite being one of the last songs recorded for her album She’s So Unusual.

49. I’ll Make Love To You – Boyz II Men

Some of the coolest love songs have come from groups, and Boyz II Men’s I’ll Make Love To You is no exception. Written by Babyface and based on a relationship he had previously been in, the track became one of their best-known and most successful singles. It won a Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals and got a nod for Record of the Year while also finding a place on Billboard’s Greatest of All Time chart.

50. Heaven – Bryan Adams

Bryan Adam’s Heaven has been recorded by several different artists over the years, but his version is still standing tall. The song describes the heavenly feeling of being with your significant other, even if you’re not doing anything together at all. Just having them around or in your arms is all you could ever ask for, and it’s a beautiful reminder that’s been—badly—sung by lovers for decades now.

51. I’m A Believer – The Monkees

I’m A Believer walked the line between easy listening and dance club song marvelously. A masterpiece written by Neil Diamond and performed by the band, it would sit at the top of the Hot 100 for seven consecutive weeks. Infectious, fun, and all about how a woman renewed a man’s faith in love, it was a track for the ages and one deserving of a spot on any list of great love songs.

52. Ain’t No Mountain High Enough – Marvin Gaye

Marvin Gaye’s track Ain’t No Mountain High Enough is one of those love songs that can speak to just about any relationship. No matter the struggles or obstacles you end up going through, nothing is going to stop you from loving that person. It’s a beautiful sentiment that was made even more powerful when it was included in the film Remember The Titans to discuss the camaraderie of a football team as the school was racially integrated.

53. Ring of Fire – Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash released Ring Of Fire in 1963 the title track of his best-of album. A song written by his eventual wife June Carter, it describes falling in love in a poetic way, calling it a hell of sorts in that love is a burning flame that can’t be extinguished.

Hugely successful, this is considered one of the best country tracks of all time, even making its way onto Rolling Stone’s list of the best songs of all time. It has a long legacy that’s evident through cover versions of the track, though none bring the same level of class that comes through from his deep vocals.

54. In Your Eyes – Peter Gabriel

In Your Eyes was a sweet and soulful song from Peter Gabriel’s fifth solo album. Including a verse from Youssou N’Dour in his native tongue, the track walks the line between a romantic relationship and the love of God, an ambiguity that made the song even more powerful and relatable to audiences.

It was hugely successful when it was released in 1986, it would eventually be featured in the drama Say Anything in 1989. That eventually brought another round of success to the track and helped bring him his first gold-certified single in the US.

55. God Only Knows – The Beach Boys

God Only Knows broke ground as one of the most complex songs in the 60s from a technical standpoint. It subverted a lot of pop tropes of the day to great effect, helping establish The Beach Boys as a legendary band with one of the absolute best tracks they ever released.

56. You Make Loving Fun – Fleetwood Mac

No matter what situation you find yourself in, loving your partner should be a positive part of your life. You Make Loving Fun was an easy-listening song that was as sweet as it was true. It was Fleetwood Mac at their best, minus the rough relationships that were rife in the band, and a track that survived as one of the best love songs they produced.

57. I Swear – John Michael Montgomery

John Michael Montgomery spends the entirety of I Swear telling his partner how much he loves them and swearing on everything under the sun that he’ll do whatever he can to prove it to them. Even to the point of trying to give them the moon, a metaphor that would be literally impossible but has shown up in plenty of soliloquies about love over the years.

58. Just The Way You Are – Billy Joel

Is there any better way to love someone than for exactly who they are? No need for changing, no things you wish were different, just complete acceptance. That was basically the premise of Billy Joel’s Just The Way You Are, a track that gave him his first gold single and first US Top 10 hit.

He wrote the song for his wife at the time, and despite not being a fan of the track himself, added it to his album The Stranger. That wound up being a smart move, as it gave the world an amazing love song and gave him a hit single.

59. Nothing On You – B.o.B Feat. Bruno Mars

One of the best ways to build the confidence of your partner is to make them feel like they’re the only one in the world. Compared to everyone else, they’re the best thing you could think of, and nobody has anything on them. B.o.B. teamed up with Bruno Mars for this song, a lovely tune meant for lovers who want to extoll the beauty they see in their partner.

60. Always – Bon Jovi

Bon Jovi’s Always was a steamy power ballad from his 1994 album Cross Road. It quickly became a hit for them, selling over three million copies worldwide and rising to within the top five of the Billboard Hot 100. It was originally written for the soundtrack of the film Romeo Is Bleeding, hence the opening lines of the song, but it never made it into the movie as Jon Bon Jovi didn’t like the film. He kept it for himself and wound up with an incredible track to release.

61. Let’s Get It On – Marvin Gaye

I don’t know that there’s a more iconic love—making—song out there that’s more known than Marvin Gaye’s Let’s Get It On. Steamy, soulful, and ready to get it on, it’s been used to set the mood for adult fun time for decades. The smooth soul track would go on to be the lead for one of the most sexual albums ever recorded and helped establish him as a sex icon for years and years to come. At least it’s about true love as well, so you can call it age appropriate for younger ones.

62. With Or Without You – U2

With Or Without You was one of U2’s most successful tracks, serving as the lead single from their legendary Joshua Tree album in 1987. A troubled love song at heart, it was mostly based around Bono’s conflicted feelings about balancing his career and the relationships he had at home. It’s one of their most covered tracks as well, leaving a legacy that helped the song find a spot on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time list in 2004.

63. Wonderful Tonight – Eric Clapton

It’s the small moments in a relationship that are important, like looking at your partner and thinking you’re the luckiest person in the world because they’re so beautiful. That’s mostly what Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton was about. Inspired by a time he was stuck waiting on his wife to get ready for an event, he was awestruck when she finally came out ready to go. And what kind of love do you have if you never have that sort of reaction to your partner?

64. Perfect – Ed Sheeran

A lot of people would describe their relationship as perfect, though many would be fooling themselves. When you find the right person, the one that fits and completes you perfectly, you can truly call it perfect. Perfect by Ed Sheeran is that song, describing his wife as perfect for him and the long road the two went down to get to the point they are now in their relationship. Yes, it’s a newer track on the list, but it’s a beautiful love song by this singer.

65. Truly Madly Deeply – Savage Garden

Savage Garden wrote one of the best love songs of all time when they came up with Truly Madly Deeply. It describes the depth of the narrator’s love for his special someone, assuring them that they will be strong for them, faithful, and be everything the other would ever want. It’s one of those perfect declarations of love, and he’s counting on her just as much as he hopes she’s counting on him.

66. Ain’t No Sunshine – Bill Withers

When you’re in love, life seems a lot brighter. They’re as important as the sun, and when they aren’t around, life seems a lot darker and dimmer. Ain’t No Sunshine by Bill Withers is a pained, emotional song about how bad his life is without his love and how much he hurts when she isn’t around. It’s a classic track that just about everyone has heard, and it’s also one of the best love songs in history.

67. Always On My Mind – Elvis Presley

Neither Elvis Presley nor Willie Nelson was the first to record Always On My Mind, but their versions were the best. His version had an extra punch of power thanks to his distinctive singing style though, so we give him the nod. It’s a regretful ballad that apologizes for not giving a woman the time and care she deserved but assures her of their love by saying she was always on their mind. It also asks for another chance, a love song that is both melancholic and pretty.

68. Amazed – Lonestar

The person you love should amaze you. Not because they do anything particularly special but just their very existence is enough to drop your jaw. That’s the main sentiment of Amazed by Lonestar. ‘Every little thing that you do, Baby, I’m amazed by you’ is an incredibly powerful line, but it’s also one a lot of people can relate to. In the end, that’s the way your partner should make you feel, summed up in a pretty country song.

69. Careless Whisper – George Michael

Careless Whisper is another one of the iconic songs of the 80s. A horn opening that is forever etched into people’s memories is complimented by the soft verses from George Michael before exploding in the choruses. He obviously loves the person of perspective in the track but feels guilty for doing them wrong, and the song is mainly a way of atoning for that, revealing the life-changing nature of their affair.

70. Your Song – Elton John

Your Song is vitally important as a love song if for no other reason than it was Elton John’s first international Top 10. A love track inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame should be included here, and it was also honored on lists of the Greatest Songs of All Time by both Rolling Stone and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

71. God Gave Me You – Blake Shelton

Sometimes, a person comes into your life and it feels like a miracle, like God himself sent them to you. That’s the sentiment Blake Shelton put into God Gave Me You, a great country song about finding your soulmate and how blessed he felt to have her.

72. Baby Can I Hold You – Tracy Chapman

Tracy Chapman’s Baby Can I Hold You was a song that didn’t receive its due when it was first released. In retrospect, the track is among the best love songs ever written, a poetic single that was her last top 50 hit until 1996.

73. Can You Feel The Love Tonight – Elton John

Does it still count if a song was from a Disney film? Elton John’s Can You Feel The Love Tonight was a centerpiece of the film The Lion King in 1994, but it would be released as a single the same year. It rose to number four on the Hot 100 and won both a Grammy and an Academy Award.

74. Think Twice – Celine Dion

Celine Dion’s Think Twice wasn’t a typical love song. It was more of a thing meant to tell her lover to think twice before leaving her. Essentially, she was trying to remind him that she would be the best thing for him and that she was still devoted to him despite his desire to potentially look for other options.

75. Kiss From A Rose – Seal

Kiss From A Rose by Seal found quite a good niche in film soundtracks. It was in both The NeverEnding Story III and Batman Forever. That wasn’t its only claim to fame. The song made the top 10 internationally, rising to the top of the US charts, and won three awards at the 1996 Grammy Awards.
