Love Songs: Five songs for your bae this week

What are some of the best love songs out there for letting someone know how you feel – or just letting them know that you’re taking a moment to appreciate them?

Here are five great tracks to add to your playlist before the end of the year.

Timezone by Maneskin

Maneskin achieved their fame with the Eurovision Song Contest, and they haven’t stopped releasing great music since. Timezone is a song about living in different timezones, and what one person is willing to do for another in the name of love.

Sorry Girl by Isaac Mutant

If you’ve got someone, then the odds are that you’ve also had to say sorry to them once – or twice, or maybe even three times. The track Sorry Girl by Isaac Mutant says everything that you don’t know how to (and maybe a few extra things).

Listen to this classic hip-hop track about love below.

PDA by John Legend

John Legend is simply a legend – and this is one of his best songs about discreet loving… In public. It’s one of the most blatant songs out there, and it’s not the kind of romantic track that you can send to everyone.

Stir It Up by Bob Marley

Stir It Up is a reggae track that almost everyone will know, and it’s perfect for playing when the lights go down. It’s more about romance than stirring fires, but we all knew that – just listen to the song below to know what it’s all about.

It Must Have Been Love by Roxette

If you don’t remember rocking out to this song, make some new memories and turn it up to full volume – of course, watch out for hearing damage in the process. It Must Have Been Love by Roxette is pretty clear about its meaning, and the type of song that you send someone when you want them back – very badly.

Listen to the song below.
