Whether Valentine’s Day has you smiling at your phone, overthinking every text, or rolling your eyes when you see a couple, Valentine’s Day comes with a lot of feelings, and honestly, music is the best way to deal with all of them. This playlist is filled with songs for when you’re in love, missing someone, or learning to move on. Whether you’re celebrating love or surviving it, there’s a song here waiting for you and your feelings.

Let’s start strong with a soft upbeat song for when you’re in love called “Best Part” by Daniel Caesar, ft. H.E.R. This song makes you think about the person you care about and just puts a smile on your face.  “If life was a movie, then you’re the best part.” This is one of the lyrics to the song to make you think about who would be the best part in your movie.

Now, let’s go back in time and listen to this banger for when you’re in love called “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” by Marvin Gaye, ft. Tammi Terrell. This song just lifts the mood and makes you want to get up and dance. “Ain’t no mountain high enough, ain’t no valley low enough, ain’t no river wide enough, to keep me from getting to you, babe.” These are some of the lyrics to the song, which will have you thinking about every mountain, every valley, and every river.

Now, let’s get to the good stuff! Remember when you made a promise to yourself not to think about him or her?  Well, here’s a song for when you’re trying not to think about them, but you have been missing them: “Promise” by Laufey. This song makes you think about whether or not to text this person. Remember, did it hurt being something, or is it worse being nothing with this person?  Those are some of the lyrics, which really cause you to think!

Let’s just say, we are all worrying about relationships, when in reality we should be worried about that grade in Ms. Buehler’s class. Yes, I said it! Here’s a song called “Lover, You Should’ve Come Over” by Jeff Buckley. “Maybe I’m too young to keep good love from going wrong,” are some of the lyrics to the song!

No matter what you’re feeling on Valentine’s Day with someone special or on your own, just know there is a song there for you. If you have no plans for the holiday, listen to songs that can relate to your feelings and bundle up in bed and do nothing, or get up and get your body moving. If you are in a relationship, turn up! Just don’t forget the most important thing: love yourself!
