Western love songs about long-distance relationships. Long-distance love songs from around the world dedicated to couples.

All Of The StarsEd Sheeran

Ed Sheeran – All Of The Stars [Official Music Video]

A ballad song in which Ed Sheeran’s vocals resonate with unparalleled beauty, “All Of The Stars.” From the very first listen, it’s so dramatic that it moved me.

And once you understand what he’s singing about, I think the depth of the song multiplies many times over.

He weaves countless thoughts by likening them to stars, and the beautiful melody—best enjoyed while picturing its literary, exquisite imagery—is superb.

It’s the ultimate ballad that lets you think of someone far away and listen with a warm heart.

When You’re GoneAvril Lavigne

Avril Lavigne – When You’re Gone (Official Video)

The 2007 song “When You’re Gone” by rock singer Avril Lavigne.

While her music may be best known for catchy rock tunes with strummed electric guitars, this track is a rock ballad that moves at a solid, deliberate tempo.

And as the title suggests, many might interpret it as a heartbreak song.

However, one way to read the lyrics is as a portrayal of a long-distance relationship.

Viewed that way, it transforms into a song that makes your powerful love for that special someone feel even stronger!

Nothing Like UsJustin Bieber

Justin Bieber – Nothing Like Us (Audio)

Justin Bieber’s 2013 track “Nothing Like Us.” With a melody that’s painfully sad, I think the mood of the song comes through even if you don’t understand the lyrics.

Many people might associate it with despair or darkness—negative images like that.

However, if you take a closer look at the lyrics, doesn’t it also convey a sense of hope—not just a breakup, but the feeling that the two of them can climb back up from the depths of their shared life? It’s a song I’d love for you to interpret in your own way.

Jet LagSimple Plan ft. Natasha Bedingfield

Simple Plan – Jet Lag ft. Natasha Bedingfield (Official Video)

The song Jet Lag is a collaboration between Canadian pop-punk band Simple Plan and singer Natasha Bedingfield.

It’s a fast-paced pop-punk track featuring a male–female duet with Simple Plan’s vocalist, Pierre Bouvier.

As the title Jet Lag suggests, the lyrics are about a long-distance relationship on a global scale—time zones flipped, day and night reversed.

It’s quite a large-scale long-distance love, but if you’re in one between Japan and countries like the United States or those in Europe, there may be no song that fits better than this one!

A Thousand MilesVanessa Carlton

Vanessa Carlton – A Thousand Miles

Vanessa Carlton’s classic song “A Thousand Miles.” It’s her biggest hit, reaching the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.

The lyrics portray the feelings of a woman struggling with a long-distance relationship.

Yet it’s not merely a sad song—it also depicts the strength of a woman who keeps thinking about the man far away.

It’s a piece I highly recommend to anyone dealing with the challenges of long-distance love.

For NowLauv

Lauv – For Now [Official Visualizer]

When time goes by without being able to meet, I suddenly start to feel anxious.

It’s precisely these delicate feelings unique to long-distance relationships that the music of American singer-songwriter Lauv gently embraces.

In this song, the loneliness of days spent apart and the tenderness of loving someone deeply nonetheless are portrayed over an emotional melody.

Included on the album “How I’m Feeling,” released in March 2020, this track seems to reflect Lauv’s romantic and heartrending side.

If you’ve experienced a long-distance relationship, you’ll surely recognize the protagonist’s wavering emotions as if they were your own.

Believing in the day you’ll meet again, it may warm your heart and make you want to cherish the feelings you have right now.

Be AlrightJustin Bieber

Justin Bieber – Be Alright (Audio)

A warm ballad by Canadian artist Justin Bieber, gently saying “It’s going to be okay” to a lover far away.

The calm tones of the acoustic guitar and his sincere vocals seep into the heart like a lullaby.

On nights when you fear physical distance turning into emotional distance, anyone who’s felt the ache of longing will understand this straightforward declaration of love all too well.

The song is included on the album Believe, released in June 2012.

For couples feeling the loneliness of being apart, listening might help you feel each other’s presence more strongly.

That phone-call-like intimacy in his voice just might reaffirm the bond between you two.
