Popular Western Love Songs and Romance Tracks Ranking [2025]

You Know I’m No GoodAmy Winehouse50rank/position

Amy Winehouse – You Know I’m No Good

Knowing she’s a flawed woman, she still betrays her faithful partner.

Sung by England’s Amy Winehouse, it’s a story of a self-destructive love.

Featured on the landmark album Back to Black, the song vividly portrays, in her deep, soulful voice, the turmoil of a woman who keeps repeating her mistakes over a retro soul sound.

Even with a good person by her side, she can’t resist a dangerous allure—perhaps one of love’s bewitching facets.

The legendary performance when she won five Grammys in February 2008 also speaks to the song’s appeal.

It’s a track that tightens the chest with the weight of a love you can’t stop, even when you know it will hurt you.

Aerosmith – I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing (Official HD Video)

A heart-stirring masterpiece of a rock ballad by Aerosmith.

This song, which expresses a powerful desire not to miss a single moment with a loved one, conveys deep affection and passion.

Released in July 1998 as the theme song for the film Armageddon, it became Aerosmith’s first No.

1 in the United States, achieving the remarkable feat of holding the top spot for four consecutive weeks.

Played during the film’s climax, the song also portrays the bond between father and daughter and the spirit of self-sacrifice, giving it meaning beyond a simple love song.

It’s a highly recommended track not only for couples, but for anyone who wants to feel the bonds with someone important.

GirlfriendAvril Lavigne53rank/position

Avril Lavigne – Girlfriend (Official Video)

Avril Lavigne, a singer-songwriter well known in Japan.

Many people probably associate her with a bright, pop image, don’t they? Her song “Girlfriend,” however, tackles a different theme from her usual image—infidelity.

The lyrics depict a woman boldly hitting on a guy who already has a girlfriend, with a very condescending attitude.

The track was also a commercial success, reaching the top 5 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Boom ClapCharli XCX54rank/position

Charli XCX – Boom Clap (The Fault In Our Stars Soundtrack) [Official Video]

An impressive love song that likens the exhilaration of falling in love to the beating of a heart.

Charli XCX’s crystalline vocals beautifully capture the rising excitement and purity of being in love.

By comparing the beloved to the sun and light, and singing of unconditional love and trust, the song conveys a sincere devotion to romance.

Released in June 2014 and included on the album “Sucker,” it was also featured on the soundtrack of the film “The Fault in Our Stars,” becoming a major hit that reached No.

8 on the US Billboard Hot 100.

It’s the perfect track for expressing your feelings of love honestly or reaffirming your affection for someone special.

You Belong With MeTaylor Swift55rank/position

Taylor Swift – You Belong With Me

The person standing next to the one you love is someone other than you.

This signature song by American artist Taylor Swift belts out that frustrating, unrequited jealousy over an up-tempo melody.

Its lyrics—contrasting his glamorous girlfriend with the plain, unnoticed self watching from the bleachers—leave a poignant impression of a tender, aching heart.

Many will relate to the tight squeeze in your chest when she pleads, “I’m the one who understands you best.” The bright, catchy sound only makes the jealousy and frustration stand out more, cutting straight to the heart.

This is a track that poppily speaks for those helpless, pent-up feelings.

You’re BeautifulJames Blunt56rank/position

James Blunt – You’re Beautiful (Official Music Video) [4K]

James Blunt, a singer-songwriter from the UK.

He’s generally well-liked in Japan, but in the UK he’s also an artist with quite a lot of detractors.

He’s somewhat comparable to Kenshi Yonezu in Japan in the sense that he kept releasing one song after another that seemed likely to sell, so his music was apparently always playing in the UK.

It seems people came to dislike him due to the perceived lack of substance and heavy media push, and his song “You’re Beautiful” was even voted the most irritating song of all time.

How ignominious (lol).
