Love Songs by Male Western Artists: Popular Song Rankings [2025]

Turn On The LightsFUTURE8rank/position

Future – Turn On The Lights (Official Music Video)

Since his debut, the rapper Future has been active for many years.

Centered on a melodious rap style, his music has earned popularity among many heads.

Among his love songs, the one I especially recommend is Turn On The Lights.

While it’s a stylish track, the lyrics are put together in a very no-nonsense way, portraying a bold, quintessentially hip-hop masculine image.

It’s also recommended for those who enjoy hard-hitting rhymes.

Just the Way You AreBilly Joel9rank/position

Billy Joel – Just the Way You Are (Official Audio)

Singer-songwriter Billy Joel from New York.

Isn’t it the ultimate love song that tells you, “You don’t have to make witty conversation, and you don’t need to wear trendy clothes.

You’re most wonderful just the way you are”? The anecdote that the melody came to him in a dream is romantic, too.

This track is a single from the classic 1977 album The Stranger, and at first it was nearly left off because it didn’t seem to fit the album.

However, it went on to earn two Grammys in 1979.

The sound of the warm Fender Rhodes blending with the sweet saxophone gently colors the time you spend with someone special.

When I Was Your ManBruno Mars10rank/position

Bruno Mars – When I Was Your Man (Official Music Video)

A poignant piano ballad that sings of heartbreak and regret.

Written from the perspective of a man who has lost his lover by American artist Bruno Mars, the song captures the complex emotions of regretting past mistakes while still wishing happiness for the other person.

Released in January 2013, it appears on the album “Unorthodox Jukebox” and became a worldwide hit, reaching No.

1 on the U.

S.

Billboard charts.

With its simple piano accompaniment and powerful vocals, it’s recommended for those seeking to heal the pain of a broken heart or to reaffirm their feelings for someone special.

You’re BeautifulJames Blunt11rank/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).

Open ArmsJourney12rank/position

Journey – Open Arms (Official Video – 1982)

Open Arms, one of Journey’s signature songs that made a huge impact in the 1980s.

Released in 1982, this classic ballad is still loved around the world.

Co-written by Jonathan Cain and Steve Perry, the song carries a powerful yet gentle message about trying to reclaim a lost love.

Its soaring, dynamic chorus stands out, and the lyrics and melody are a perfect match.

In Japan, it’s also known as the theme song for the film “Umizaru,” where its moving melody and lyrics captured the hearts of many.

It’s recommended not only for Journey fans but for anyone looking for a romantic song.

I’ll Make Love to YouBoyz II Men13rank/position

Boyz II Men – I’ll Make Love To You (Official Music Video)

Everyone is sure to be captivated by its vocals.

Woven from beautiful harmonies and emotional lyrics, this is a timeless classic that never fades.

Released in 1994, the track spent 14 consecutive weeks at No.

1 on the Billboard charts and won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance.

With a romantic atmosphere that seems to celebrate a special night with a loved one, it reminds you of the value of time spent with someone dear.

It’s perfect for a wedding first dance or as background music for an anniversary with your partner.

Wrapped in soul-stirring vocals, you’re sure to enjoy a wonderful time deepening your love.

Dangerously In Love (772 Love Pt. 2)YNW Melly14rank/position

YNW Melly “Dangerously In Love (772 Love Pt. 2)” (Official Audio)

The rapper YNW Melly, known for his melodious rap, has gained popularity.

His thug-style lyrics and stylish, melodic flow might seem mismatched, yet they blend perfectly.

Among his love songs, the one I especially recommend is “Dangerously In Love (772 Love Pt.

2).” It’s a track notable for its sweet beat and flow.

Although he’s facing murder charges and could receive the death penalty, I hope that if he returns, we’ll get to hear his melodic rap again.
