Twice
South Korea’s legendary girl group Twice is known for their charm, empowerment, and love-filled pop songs around the globe. Since their debut in 2015, the group has shown us the many sides of love. You might have heard trending audios of “What Is Love?” or “Look at Me” while scrolling through TikTok this month, but don’t be fooled, we don’t need just one month to enjoy their discography.
From their love confession songs such as “The Feels,” “Baby Blue Love,” and “Signal” to their “got you where I want you” tracks like “Strategy” featuring Megan Thee Stallion, the group’s presence remains influential. From brides dancing to “What Is Love?” on their special day to others waiting for the perfect winter night to sing “Doughnut,” the group’s legacy leaves us wanting a love that feels better than movies and dramas.
Celebrating their 10th anniversary together, the group’s latest album TEN: The Story Goes ties the beginning of their career to the growth they’ve made over the years. “Me+You” opens with an anthem dedicated to friendship; a track made for best friends. With lyrics like “We got a connection that gets stronger every time” and “I’m grateful that you’re my best friends until the end,” the song reminds us that love is everywhere and friendship is forever. As the group continues to share their love, their North American tour, “This Is For,” is making stops across major states in the U.S.and Europe coming next. One thing is for sure: Twice will make us fall in love again.

Laufey
As a jazz lover and romantic fanatic, Laufey lures us into a world of romance. One could say our “I Kind of Like You” playlist hates to see us coming whenever a new album drops, while others might suggest we stop romanticizing every little thing in our lives. With earlier hits such as “Like the Movies,” where she daydreams about finding the perfect guy, she sings, “Maybe one day I’ll fall into a bookstore/ Into the arms of a guy,” and “I want a love like I’ve seen in the movies.”
Rising to stardom in 2022, her debut full-length album Everything I Know About Love gained recognition for its blend of classical and jazz melodies and diverse storytelling perspectives. Through fan favorites such as “Beautiful Stranger,” “Falling Behind,” and “Valentine,” Laufey sings for those who love too much and feel like they are running out of time. After the album’s success, “From the Start” took over social media and became one of the most-streamed jazz songs in the U.S. in 2023.
Her second album, Bewitched, earned her a Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. The tracklist includes “While You Were Sleeping,” a dreamy love song where Laufey leans fully into her romantic mindset, singing about a love that feels destined. Another standout, “Serendipity,” captures that same fated, cinematic feeling, with lyrics that reflect timeless devotion. Laufey almost feels like a poet disguised as a singer. With her latest release, “A Matter of Time,” Laufey reminds us that “lover girl summer has commenced,” even in the winter. With hints on her TikTok that new music is dropping soon, we can’t wait to accompany our favorite lover girl in 2026.

Mitski
Known as the “songwriter’s songwriter,” Mitski brings yearning back to our playlists. Her discography shines through romantic indie-pop tracks, often focusing on the craving for love in poetic form. Her fans even create playlists labeled “best of Mitski bc I love crying” and “Mitski but I’m in love.” From her early 2016 hit “Once More to See You,” she sings, “If you would let me give you pinky promise kisses / Then I wouldn’t have to scream your name atop every roof in the city of my heart.”
From her fifth studio album, Be the Cowboy, Mitski’s infatuation with love feels deeply relatable. One of its most striking tracks, “Pink in the Night,” perfectly captures the yearning for a lover. With lyrics such as, “I glow pink in the night in my room / I’ve been blossoming alone over you,” the song portrays a lover girl longing for someone unattainable or unwilling to reciprocate her feelings. It is centered around the plea, “And I know I’ve kissed you before, but I didn’t do it right / Can I try again, try again, try again?” The track embodies the essence of a hopeless romantic.
Her latest project, The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We, features “My Love Mine All Mine,” another symbolic track about the power of love, referencing the moon as the holder of light. She sings, “Moon, tell me if I could send up my heart to you? / ’Cause my love is mine, all mine / My love mine, mine, mine.” A true lover girl for those who crave deep and complex emotions, Mitski released her eighth studio album, Nothing’s About to Happen to Me in February 2026.

CHUU
South Korea’s aegyo soloist, CHUU, is the perfect example of how love can be embodied in a person. Her lover-girl era started long before her solo debut with girl group LOONA, where her bright and whimsical lyrics shine through in “Heart Attack,” a track about falling in love for the first time. CHUU sings, “This is what ‘fall in love’ is / Dipped you inside my white heart, and made it red” and “My heart pounding towards you / I’ll give it all, take my heart.”
From her Strawberry Rush album, CHUU immerses herself in a magical world where she portrays a hero. A fun and bubbly album overall, the lover-girl in her shines in “Chocolate,” singing, “I’m sweet like chocolate, like sugar on your lips, a taste you can’t forget” and “Stuck in your teeth, got what you need, boy, you addicted to me.” In her third mini-album, Only Cry in the Rain, CHUU gets a bit more cheeky and seductive with “Kiss a Kitty,” with lyrics such as, “You are a dream that makes me smile even when I wake up,” and “I wanna kiss a kitty, k-kitty, and tell her she’s so pretty, p-pretty.”
XO, My Cyberlove is CHUU’s latest release, debuting as a full mini-album. The tracks continue to showcase CHUU’s spirited personality, highlighting her romantic side in songs like “Love Potion,” where she sings, “How to fall head over heels in love/ enough being friends, it’s that timing,” and “Loving You,” where she sings, “I can see you faintly/ but you’re the one I’ve been looking for.” As CHUU shares her heart with us, we can only expect more lovely songs from her in the future.

Kali Uchis
Latin America’s heartthrob and Colombian superstar, Kali Uchis, is a lover girl and hopeless romantic for all of us who love dreamy, experimental tracks. With her global hit “Telepatia,” Kali Uchis brought sensuality and connection to the music scene with lyrics such as “Quién lo diría/ Que se podría hacer el amor por telepatía” and “Cause I can read your mind, I can read your mind/ I can hear your thoughts like a melody.”
The ORQUIDIEAS album explores the representation of love and femininity through orchid flowers (almost as if she were tempting her lover boy.) “Heladito” is about being adored in a relationship. She sings, “Princess in your passenger, Sayin’ ‘Pretty please’ with a cherry on top.”
Her lovergirl persona continues with “Tu Corazon es Mio,” a track dedicated to her partner and a life they will create together in the future. The music video shows her pregnancy announcement along with the lyrics of “Tengo alguien que me ama/Esos besos a mí me ponen trabada.”
In Kali’s latest release, Sincerely, is a continuing testament to love in its many forms, giving a glimpse into her motherhood side. “Sugar! Honey! Love!” is the perfect example of sweet love being sung: “‘Til I met a love so pure and true / Day I met you, babe” and “Now I’m letting my son / Shine on me and my / Sweet sugar honey love.” As Kali navigates motherhood and shares a side of love many await, this lover girl takes us to the dreamiest of places during the month of love.

PinkPantheress
The internet’s favorite British sweetheart, PinkPantheress, is no stranger to the topic of love. Her true lover girl nature shines in her kaleidoscopic discography with dramatic, yet relatable depictions of romance. For everyone that has ever been in a “delusionship” — PinkPantheress has the quintessential anthems for your yearning playlist. In one of her earliest hits, “Just for me,” she sings: “I’m obsessed with you in a way I can’t believe / When you wipe your tears do you wipe them just for me?”
PinkPantheress’s sophomore album, Heaven knows, dives headfirst into love in all of its complex phases with songs like the fangirl-driven “True romance,” and the emotionally charged “Capable of love.” If you need any further reassurance of her lover girl status, the dichotomy between PinkPantheress’s and Central Cee’s lyricism in “Nice to meet you” will tell you everything! Central Cee slides in with a verse riddled with infidelity while PinkPantheress professes: “I pray that I’ll die before my baby / I’ll take a risk if anyone tries to touch my baby.”
Her newest project, Fancy That, boosted the once faceless independent artist to international sensation status. The album is noticeably brighter in tone compared to her previous releases, showcasing her newfound reassurance almost half a decade into her career. What hasn’t changed is her romance fueled attitude, especially in tracks like “Tonight” and “Romeo.” As PinkPantheress only continues to grow, we hope her love never changes!

Crystal Kay
Japan’s beloved R&B diva, Crystal Kay’s music is the epitome of Y2K romance! Crystal Kay carved out a path for herself in the competitive music scene as the daughter of a “U.S. serviceman and an ethnic Korean residing in Yokohama” who both had an affinity for music. Her heritage became one of her strengths as her sound combined the bright sounds of J-pop with the tenderness of American 90s R&B. She kicked off her musical career at the age of 13with love songs like “More Lovin’” and “C’mon Babe.”
In 2002, her career ascended with the success of her third studio album Almost Seventeen which became certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan. The lead single off the album, “hard to say,” delivers the quintessential early 2000s realness that has been on the rise recently. Just like the title implies, Crystal Kay finds it “hard to say” her true feelings to the one she has fallen for: “Do I like him as a friend? / If I tell him, will it end? / Does he look at me the same?”
Her biggest hit, “KOINIOCHITARA,” arrived the following year. Off of the album, LOVE SONG BEST, this song remains as one of the most iconic Japanese love songs. To celebrate 25 years in the industry, Crystal Kay released a re-recording of “KOINICHITARA” alongside her other greatest hits in the 2025 compilation album, ALL TIME BEST 25th Anniversary. Crystal Kay is still continuing her flourishing career with television appearances in South Korea and Japan alongside uploading personal content. She is closing out this month on a high note with a huge 40th birthday bash including a stacked list of performers such as members of PSYCHIC FEVER and JO1.

Janet Jackson
This legendary American songstress has written love songs for decades, and if the past year proved anything, it’s that her music will continue to be loved for years to come. Janet Jackson experienced a well-deserved resurgence this past year thanks to her 2001 hit, “Someone To Call My Lover.” The song made its rounds on social media as listeners of all ages couldn’t help but be charmed by its lighthearted, nostalgic vibe. The most common comment would be people seeking out a love that felt just like this song — one of the highest compliments for a musician! This viral song is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Janet Jackson’s incredible catalogue.
“Someone To Call My Lover” is off of All For You, with the lead single and album’s namesake being yet another iconic love song in her collection. She sends a loving reminder in the chorus: “It’s all for you, if you really want it / It’s all for you, if you say you need it / It’s all for you, if you gotta have it / It’s all for you, if you make a move.” From sensual R&B jams like “Any Time, Any Place” to upbeat tunes to get you grooving like “When I Think Of You,” her discography reads like a masterclass on how to sonically convey romance.
After a stellar performance at the “2025 American Music Awards” celebrating her Icon Award acceptance, Janet Jackson continued her Las Vegas residency with other performance stops in Texas and California. This year is also shaping up to be monumental for this generational talent. Shortly after her 60th birthday this year, she will embark on a highly anticipated Japan tour.

Her viral 2017 debut single, “Coffee,” would become a staple in her love song catalogue.

Her debut and sophomore projects like “If You Want To” and “Apple Cider” are still used for launching new relationships on social media nearly a decade later. beabadoobee’s 2022 album, Beatopia, features a handful of songs perfect for the month of love.

NIKI
The most streamed Indonesian artist of all time is also a proud lover girl! NIKI made waves as the first female artist to join the Asian-American music collective, 88rising. Early on, her songs showcased the many stages of young romance. In her debut album, Zephyr, she alternates between a self-loving baddie (“Newsflash!”), a seductive siren (“Say My Name”), a hopeful thinker (“Around”), and a head-over-heels lover (“Vintage”). Her sound continues to evolve in standout singles like “lowkey” and “Every Summertime.” The latter soared as a part of the Shang-Chi and The Legend of The Ten Rings official soundtrack. She sings atop the soulful groove: “Baby, I’d give up anything to travel inside your mind / Baby, I fall in love again come every summertime.”
A year after the success of “Every Summertime,” her reimagination of Phil Collins’s “You’ll Be in My Heart,” from Disney’s Tarzan would also take off. This touching children’s movie track took on a new life thanks to NIKI’s twist, and she dedicates this cover to her “dad and two little brothers.” NIKI proves that she just doesn’t write about romance, but love in all shapes and forms.
Speaking of love in all facets, her latest album, Buzz, continues this philosophy. NIKI excels at her unique depictions of romance despite the many heartache-centered tracks. “Too Much Of A Good Thing” talks about the temptations of a dangerous love, and “Tsunami” compares the song’s title to one’s feelings unexpectedly crashing into their lives. However you are feeling in this month of love, NIKI surely has a song you will resonate with!
