It may not be February, but love is still in the air! For those unfamiliar, August is also known as Romance Awareness Month. So, as we move toward closing out the summer, let’s also reflect on those summer flings, long-time relationships and more that have sustained us. Furthermore, let’s not forget those songs that always give us that warm and cozy feeling. You know, those songs that get us to think, “I love my boo” or “Wow, I miss my baby.”
Check out a few of our favorites below.
1. "Keep Comin' Back" by Blxst
Featured on Blxst‘s debut album Before You Go, this song will indeed have you in the feels. So look no further if you’re looking for a track that will have you feeling confident in your relationship with a hint of cockiness.
2. "Hrs & Hrs" by Muni Long
We do not deserve Muni Long. This viral hit on the artist’s 2021 EP Public Displays of Affection, can be played for hours and hours, no pun intended. Muni’s soulful voice crooning over this soft beat makes for a wonderful amalgamation of talent, sultriness and love.
3. "Cater 2 U" by Destiny's Child
Raise your hand if your significant other’s love feels so good that you’d cater to their every whim. This lovely song featured on Destiny’s Child‘s final studio album Destiny Fulfilled, finds the talented trio expressing their love for their significant others through acts of service. We had an entire tutorial on love languages and didn’t even realize it. The power of Destiny’s Child!
4. "Everything" by Mary J. Blige
Mary J. Blige can do no wrong, and that’s a scientific fact. But, if you’re still not convinced, one listen of “Everything” should do the trick. Released on her album, Share My World, it’s a beautiful anthem of just how much someone can mean to their romantic partner.
5. "Why I Love you So Much" by Monica
This song is just one of the reasons why we love Monica so much. The Atlanta native’s debut album Miss Thang gave us many a hit, and this is one of them. The ballad finds the songstress professing the many reasons she loves her partner. Can you believe she recorded this song when she was 12?!
6. "Chante's Got a Man" by Chante Moore
Have you ever had a moment, upon entering a new relationship, where you just wanted to talk your s***? We’ve all been there, including the incomparable Chante Moore. This classic song takes us on a journey as to why she’s so excited about her new relationship while making it clear that her relationship is very much intact. Do not play with her — she is not one of them!
7. "Can We Talk" by Tevin Campbell
Only true R&B connoisseurs understand just how synonymous this song is with romance. But, if you’ve ever been in a situation where you’ve been pining over someone to no avail, you’ll appreciate this. Tevin Campbell beautifully lends his vocals to a track that will never go out of style.
8. "Differences" by Ginuwine
For those who feel as if their significant other genuinely made their life feel complete, this one’s for you. This lovely track, while nostalgic, will always be a wonderful reminder of the positive impact your partner can have on you.
What’s your favorite love song? There are so many to choose from! We hope that these songs bring you closer to your significant other.
