Twice
South Koreaโs 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 โWhat Is Love?โ or โLook at Meโ while scrolling through TikTok this month, but donโt be fooled, we donโt need just one month to enjoy their discography.
From their love confession songs such as โThe Feels,โ โBaby Blue Love,โ and โSignalโ to their โgot you where I want youโ tracks like โStrategyโ featuring Megan Thee Stallion, the groupโs presence remains influential. From brides dancing to โWhat Is Love?โ on their special day to others waiting for the perfect winter night to sing โDoughnut,โ the groupโs legacy leaves us wanting a love that feels better than movies and dramas.
Celebrating their 10th anniversary together, the groupโs latest album โTEN: The Story Goesโ ties the beginning of their career to the growth theyโve made over the years. “Me+You” opens with an anthem dedicated to friendship; a track made for best friends. With lyrics like โWe got a connection that gets stronger every timeโ and โIโm grateful that youโre my best friends until the end,โ the song reminds us that love is everywhere and friendship is forever. As the group continues to share their love, their North American tour, โThis Is For,โ 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 โI Kind of Like Youโ 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 โLike the Movies,โ where she daydreams about finding the perfect guy, she sings, โMaybe one day I’ll fall into a bookstore/ Into the arms of a guy,โ and โI want a love like I’ve seen in the movies.โ
Rising to stardom in 2022, her debut full-length album โEverything I Know About Loveโ gained recognition for its blend of classical and jazz melodies and diverse storytelling perspectives. Through fan favorites such as โBeautiful Stranger,โ โFalling Behind,โ and โValentine,โ Laufey sings for those who love too much and feel like they are running out of time. After the albumโs success, โFrom the Startโ took over social media and became one of the most-streamed jazz songs in the U.S. in 2023.
Her second album, โBewitched,โ earned her a Grammy for Best Traditional Pop Vocal Album. The tracklist includes โWhile You Were Sleeping,โ a dreamy love song where Laufey leans fully into her romantic mindset, singing about a love that feels destined. Another standout, โSerendipity,โ 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, โA Matter of Time,โ Laufey reminds us that โlover girl summer has commenced,โ even in the winter. With hints on her TikTok that new music is dropping soon, we canโt wait to accompany our favorite lover girl in 2026.

Mitski
Known as the โsongwriterโs songwriter,โ 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 โbest of Mitski bc I love cryingโ and โMitski but Iโm in love.โ From her early 2016 hit โOnce More to See You,โ she sings, โIf 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.โ
From her fifth studio album, โBe the Cowboy,โ Mitskiโs infatuation with love feels deeply relatable. One of its most striking tracks, โPink in the Night,โ perfectly captures the yearning for a lover. With lyrics such as, โI glow pink in the night in my room / Iโve been blossoming alone over you,โ the song portrays a lover girl longing for someone unattainable or unwilling to reciprocate her feelings. It is centered around the plea, โAnd I know I’ve kissed you before, but I didn’t do it right / Can I try again, try again, try again?โ The track embodies the essence of a hopeless romantic.
Her latest project, โThe Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We,โ features โMy Love Mine All Mine,โ another symbolic track about the power of love, referencing the moon as the holder of light. She sings, โMoon, tell me if I could send up my heart to you? / โCause my love is mine, all mine / My love mine, mine, mine.โ A true lover girl for those who crave deep and complex emotions, Mitski released her eighth studio album, โNothingโs About to Happen to Meโ in February 2026.

CHUU
South Koreaโs 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 โHeart Attack,โ a track about falling in love for the first time. CHUU sings, โThis is what โfall in loveโ is / Dipped you inside my white heart, and made it redโ and โMy heart pounding towards you / Iโll give it all, take my heart.โ
From her โStrawberry Rushโ 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 โChocolate,โ singing, โI’m sweet like chocolate, like sugar on your lips, a taste you can’t forgetโ and โStuck in your teeth, got what you need, boy, you addicted to me.โ In her third mini-album, โOnly Cry in the Rainโ, CHUU gets a bit more cheeky and seductive with โKiss a Kitty,โ with lyrics such as, โYou are a dream that makes me smile even when I wake up,โ and โI wanna kiss a kitty, k-kitty, and tell her she’s so pretty, p-pretty.โ
โXO, My Cyberloveโ is CHUUโs latest release, debuting as a full mini-album. The tracks continue to showcase CHUUโs spirited personality, highlighting her romantic side in songs like โLove Potion,โ where she sings, โHow to fall head over heels in love/ enough being friends, it’s that timing,โ and โLoving You,โ where she sings, โI can see you faintly/ but you’re the one I’ve been looking for.โ As CHUU shares her heart with us, we can only expect more lovely songs from her in the future.

Kali Uchis
Latin Americaโs 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 โTelepatia,โ Kali Uchis brought sensuality and connection to the music scene with lyrics such as โQuiรฉn lo dirรญa/ Que se podrรญa hacer el amor por telepatรญaโ and โCause I can read your mind, I can read your mind/ I can hear your thoughts like a melody.โ
The โORQUIDIEASโ album explores the representation of love and femininity through orchid flowers (almost as if she were tempting her lover boy.) โHeladitoโ is about being adored in a relationship. She sings, โPrincess in your passenger, Sayin’ ‘Pretty please’ with a cherry on top.โ
Her lovergirl persona continues with โTu Corazon es Mio,โ 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 โTengo alguien que me ama/Esos besos a mรญ me ponen trabada.โ
In Kaliโs latest release, โSincerely,โ is a continuing testament to love in its many forms, giving a glimpse into her motherhood side. โSugar! Honey! Love!โ is the perfect example of sweet love being sung: โโTil I met a love so pure and true / Day I met you, babeโ and โNow I’m letting my son / Shine on me and my / Sweet sugar honey love.โ 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 internetโs 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 โdelusionshipโ โ PinkPantheress has the quintessential anthems for your yearning playlist. In one of her earliest hits, โJust for me,โ she sings: โIโm obsessed with you in a way I canโt believe / When you wipe your tears do you wipe them just for me?โ
PinkPantheressโs sophomore album, Heaven knows, dives headfirst into love in all of its complex phases with songs like the fangirl-driven โTrue romance,โ and the emotionally charged โCapable of love.โ If you need any further reassurance of her lover girl status, the dichotomy between PinkPantheressโs and Central Ceeโs lyricism in โNice to meet youโ will tell you everything! Central Cee slides in with a verse riddled with infidelity while PinkPantheress professes: โI pray that Iโll die before my baby / Iโll take a risk if anyone tries to touch my baby.โ
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 hasnโt changed is her romance fueled attitude, especially in tracks like โTonightโ and โRomeo.โ As PinkPantheress only continues to grow, we hope her love never changes!

Crystal Kay
Japanโs beloved R&B diva, Crystal Kayโs 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 โU.S. serviceman and an ethnic Korean residing in Yokohamaโ 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 โMore Lovinโโ and โCโmon Babe.โ
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, โhard to say,โ delivers the quintessential early 2000s realness that has been on the rise recently. Just like the title implies, Crystal Kay finds it โhard to sayโ her true feelings to the one she has fallen for: โDo I like him as a friend? / If I tell him, will it end? / Does he look at me the same?โ
Her biggest hit, โKOINIOCHITARA,โ 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 โKOINICHITARAโ 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, โSomeone To Call My Lover.โ The song made its rounds on social media as listeners of all ages couldnโt 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 โ one of the highest compliments for a musician! This viral song is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Janet Jacksonโs incredible catalogue.
โSomeone To Call My Loverโ is off of All For You, with the lead single and albumโs namesake being yet another iconic love song in her collection. She sends a loving reminder in the chorus: โItโs all for you, if you really want it / Itโs all for you, if you say you need it / Itโs all for you, if you gotta have it / Itโs all for you, if you make a move.โ From sensual R&B jams like โAny Time, Any Placeโ to upbeat tunes to get you grooving like โWhen I Think Of You,โ her discography reads like a masterclass on how to sonically convey romance.
After a stellar performance at the โ2025 American Music Awardsโ 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.

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 (โNewsflash!โ), a seductive siren (โSay My Nameโ), a hopeful thinker (โAroundโ), and a head-over-heels lover (โVintageโ). Her sound continues to evolve in standout singles like โlowkeyโ and โEvery Summertime.โ 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: โBaby, Iโd give up anything to travel inside your mind / Baby, I fall in love again come every summertime.โ
A year after the success of โEvery Summertime,โ her reimagination of Phil Collinsโs โYouโll Be in My Heart,โ from Disneyโs Tarzan would also take off. This touching childrenโs movie track took on a new life thanks to NIKIโs twist, and she dedicates this cover to her โdad and two little brothers.โ NIKI proves that she just doesnโt 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. โToo Much Of A Good Thingโ talks about the temptations of a dangerous love, and โTsunamiโ compares the songโs title to oneโs feelings unexpectedly crashing into their lives. However you are feeling in this month of love, NIKI surely has a song you will resonate with!
