“Can’t Help Falling in Love” – Elvis Presley

“National Anthem” – Lana Del Rey

Lyric: “Summer’s in the air and baby heaven’s in your eyes.”

Seemingly inspired by JFK and Jacqueline Kennedy’s marriage, Lana Del Rey’s ‘National Anthem’ will fit perfectly into your mixtape if you’re a fan of indie/pop music. Though the music video tackles dark topics like JFK’s alleged affair with Marilyn Monroe and his death, the song itself has a much more sentimental and affectionate feeling.

“My Heart Will Go On” – Celine Dion

One of the most popular romance songs of this century, Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” is a must-have for a Valentine’s playlist!

‘Afterlife’ – Hailee Steinfeld

Lyric: “Will you promise me you’ll search for us? Will you find me after life?”

Released by Steinfeld in late 2019 for her TV show Dickinson, “Afterlife” is a poetic song that would be fun to listen to with your significant other. Resembling a poem (most likely inspired by Dickinson), Steinfeld’s romantic ballad highlights eternal love and the morbid topic of love through tragedy and death. Though the song is emotional and has a dark undertone, the main romantic theme will fit perfectly on a Valentine’s day playlist!

‘OSVISS’ – Oxygen
