Valentine's Day is just around the corner. And aside from the food and closed-door activities awaiting at the end of the night, there's one other crucial element to ensure a perfect holiday with your loved one this year: a playlist worthy of love.
Sure, there are some classic ballads everyone knows, but love songs aren't all sappy. If you're in the mood for some upbeat dance tracks, it's on here. A little 90's R&B-meets-pop? No worries—we got you. And if you're just looking for the perfect song to tell your lover just how much you feel for them, you better believe we have a good selection of those songs for you, too.
Below, the 50 best pop love songs of all time. And when your significant other is touched by the super creative playlist you made just for them, don't forget to send us a little bit of love, too.
"10,000 Hours" by Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber
Is it a country song or is it a pop love ballad? Either way, enjoy a wedding montage of Justin and Hailey Bieber.
"Adore You" by Harry Styles
Fun fact: at the time this iconic tune debuted, it reached #6 on the Billboard 100 Chart, cementing Styles' role in music as the latest pop icon.
"All My Life" by K-Ci and JoJo
If long-time fans want someone to thank for the biggest hit of the duo's career, all they have to do is look at JoJo's daughter—she's the inspiration behind the love ballad.
"As Long As You Love Me" by Backstreet Boys
Because it's just not Valentine's Day without busting a move to a teen pop jam from a 90's boy band.
"As Long As You're Mine" from Wicked
This melodramatic duet might not be the first love song you think of, but it does come from a 2005 Grammy-Award winning album and a hit Broadway musical.
"At Last" by Etta James
You've heard this song played at many a wedding reception. Now it's your turn to slow dance to the 1960s classic.
"At Your Best (You Are Love)" by Aaliyah

"Best Years" by 5 Seconds of Summer
For a band who became famous for their distinct pop-punk sound and tracks about heartbreak, this song not only deviates from their style, but also re-establishes the quartet as formidable songwriters.
"Better" by Khalid
Sure, the song took a bit of time to make it to the Billboard Hot 100. (Try thirty weeks!) Khalid did get lucky, though, as the song's simple lyrics and rhythmic beats eventually became the second #1 of his career.
"Beyond" by Leon Bridges
Sure, the song is excellent, but it's the music video which makes the track shine, filmed in El Paso, TX and showcasing the singer's favorite joints throughout the southern city.
"Black and White" by Niall Horan

Ella Mai's 2018 debut single is a certified pop banger, nominated for two Grammys: Song of The Year and Best R&B Song.
"Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley
Only the King of Rock and Roll could take a simple melody with even simpler lyrics and turn it into one of the most romantic songs of the 20th century.
"Conversations in the Dark" by John Legend
If "All of Me" established Legend as an expert on all things romance, think of this as the older, wiser sister who makes time to appreciate the simpler moments in love.
"Crazy Little Thing Called Love" by Queen
It might not be "Bohemian Rhapsody,” but be prepared for this Queen classic to replay in your mind long after listening to it.
"Crush" by David Archuleta

If there's only one woman who can infuse a soul and heart-wrenching pain into the perfect love song, Alicia Keys is the singer for the job.
"I Just Called to Say I Love You" by Stevie Wonder
When Stevie Wonder wrote this catchy tune, we don't think he thought a song about surprising his lover over the phone would become the defining hit of his long career.
