yung kai – flower (official lyric video)

Young Kai, a Chinese-Canadian singer-songwriter who drew global attention when his 2024 release “Blue” reached No.

39 on the Billboard Global 200, returns with a new work from a rising star of bedroom pop.

His latest track seems to liken pure, delicate feelings for a loved one to a fragile, graceful flower.

The dreamy atmosphere woven by gentle guitar tones and his soft vocals is truly striking.

Released in July 2025, the song also heightens anticipation for his debut album slated for the fall of the same year.

It’s the kind of music that will gently accompany you on quiet nights of solitary reflection or moments spent thinking of someone special.

On SightCoco Jones

Coco Jones – On Sight

Coco Jones, the powerhouse who won Best R&B Performance at the 2024 Grammy Awards.

This is a perfect summer-night track from her debut album “Why Not More?”, released in April 2025.

Her strong, emotionally rich vocals riding over a sophisticated sound will capture your heart the moment you hear them.

It’s said to portray that passionate moment when you’re instantly drawn to someone and become certain of your feelings.

A music video was also produced, showcasing her expressive artistry.

Play it on a summer evening when you want to sink into a slightly grown-up mood, and it’s sure to heighten the romance.

On a night when your feelings for someone special are deepening, why not listen to this song and face your emotions?

As It WasHarry Styles

Harry Styles – As It Was (Official Video)

One of the most talked-about songs of the first half of 2022, “As It Was.” Sung by Harry Styles, a member of the boy group One Direction that captivated women around the world, the track became a global sensation immediately after its release.

I believe the reasons for its success lie in its musicality, which incorporates the synth-pop trend of the 1980s, and its romantic lyrics.

The contrast between the stylish synth-pop sound and the romantic lyrics is striking, so be sure to check out the Japanese translation as well.

Love You Like A Love SongSelena Gomez

Selena Gomez & The Scene – Love You Like A Love Song

I feel like there are fewer love songs using the classic “I love you” phrase these days.

I hardly even see songs with that title anymore, and in Japanese music the only one that comes to mind is Yutaka Ozaki.

Are clichéd expressions of love already outdated? Maybe that’s why this song’s straightforward message feels so refreshing!

Little ThingsOne Direction

One Direction – Little Things

I can’t help but smile at the lyrics that say, “I know their flaws well, and I know they’re not perfect—but that’s what makes them great!” Truly understanding someone can be difficult.

But if there’s love… this song teaches us just that.

Baby SpoonCavetown

Cavetown – “Baby Spoon” (Official Video)

Cavetown is a singer-songwriter from the UK whose gentle sound stays close to his listeners.

This track carries a personal sentiment from him as a trans man who has long been conscious of “masculinity,” yet finds he can let his guard down and be openly tender only with his partner.

The dreamlike, weightless melody pairs perfectly with his intimate, whisper-like vocals.

Released in August 2025, the song heralds a new chapter for him following Lemon Boy, the 2018 masterpiece that has racked up 54 million streams on Spotify.

It’s sure to resonate not only with those thinking of someone special, but also with anyone whose heart is tired and craving a moment of gentle comfort.

Loved You Better (ft. Dean Lewis)Jonas Brothers

Jonas Brothers – Loved You Better (Official Lyric Video) ft. Dean Lewis

This song by the American brother band the Jonas Brothers reflects on past relationships and sings with sincere regret.

Co-written with Australian singer-songwriter Dean Lewis, it blends delicate piano and acoustic guitar tones with beautiful harmonies from both artists.

Carrying a searing message of lament—born from immaturity—of “I should have loved you better,” it grips the listener’s heart.

Featured on their seventh album, Greetings From Your Hometown, celebrating their 20th anniversary, this track is one the band themselves consider a standout.

It’s a song that quietly stays by your side when you want to face your own heart on a calm night.
