What are the most romantic songs of 2010? From titillating tunes to beautiful beats, the best love songs of 2010 are perfect for making a playlist to listen to while spending a splendid night in with the one you love. Or you can snuggle up enjoy some sweet dreams about your significant other to romantic songs like these:
“Just the Way You Are” by Bruno Mars – This is one of the best love songs of 2010 for gals feeling the pressure to fit into a cookie-cutter image of beauty. So if guys want to be really romantic, play songs like these to your perfect partner on days when she’s dressed down, feeling down, and not using makeup to cover up.
“OMG” by Usher featuring Will.i.am – For those looking for sexy 2010 love songs, you can’t beat this beat. So if you’re looking for romance while you dance, be sure to give your own lovely lady an “OMG”.
“Need You Now” by Lady Antebellum – And here’s one of the best bittersweet love songs of 2010 for those missing someone. It perfectly captures that feeling of being alone and unable to fight the urge to pick up the phone, so beware when listening to romantic songs like this one if you’re prone to drunk dialing.
“Hey, Soul Sister” by Train – Sure one of the most romantic songs of 2010 has become a little bit overused in movies and commercials, but there’s a reason this song is everywhere lately (other than the fact that Train is just trying to make boatloads of money). It’s one of those love songs that has likely been used to described plenty of “soul sisters” out there with one track minds (at least the guys dedicating this ditty to them dare to dream), but I just love the INXS “one of my kind” line.
“Today was a Fairytale” by Taylor Swift – Taylor Swift’s sweet love songs can make every girl feel like a princess, and this one is perfect for those that have found their Prince Charming. Life may not be like a romantic and colorful Disney fairytale, but Taylor Swift can sure make it feel that way.
“Nothin’ on You” by B.o.B. featuring Bruno Mars – Every girl wants to be the one to tame the womanizer, and this is one of the best love songs of 2010 for those that have managed to do it. But be forewarned: while you may get the guy that other girls dream of, it doesn’t mean that they’re all going to fall out of love (plenty will think they’ve got somethin’ on you).
“Baby” by Justin Bieber featuring Ludacris – And here’s one of the most romantic love songs ever written. Okay, so repeating the word “Baby” over and over again isn’t exactly Shakespeare, but this hasn’t prevented millions of girls from falling in love to this song (unfortunately, they’re all in love with the same guy: Justin Bieber).
“Your Love is My Drug” by Ke$ha – Again, it’s not one of the most romantic love songs of 2010, but at least Ke$ha’s love drug won’t land her in rehab.
“DJ Got Us Fallin’ in Love” by Usher featuring Pitbull – Here’s one of the best love songs of 2010 for those looking to fall in love all over again…on the dance floor. So whether you’re looking for a flirty fling or you’ve already got the real thing, perhaps the DJ can add a little more romance to your dance with sexy songs like this one.
“Mine” by Taylor Swift – Even Taylor Swift’s sadder love songs have happy endings, so lovers going through tough times might want to give this one a listen (where does Taylor Swift find these all of these perfect guys in her ridiculously romantic songs? They’re definitely not John Mayers).
“Love the Way You Lie” by Eminem featuring Rihanna – This is one of the most interesting love songs of 2010 because it’s about a different (and dangerous) kind of love: the destructive kind (I’m just hoping it inspires girls to get out of abusive relationships instead of making them seem romantic).
“Only Girl (In The World)” by Rihanna – Sometimes you’ve just got to tell your man how to love you right, and Rihanna’s got just the right words for that in one of the best love songs of 2010 about every girl’s dream of seeing all her competition vanish.
“Just A Dream” by Nelly – And here’s another of the love songs of 2010 about heartbreak, perfect for a guy to dedicate to the one that got away that he just can’t stop daydreaming about (this is why you’ve got to put a ring on it, guys!).
“Back to December” by Taylor Swift – Well, I lied. Here’s one of Taylor Swift’s love songs that doesn’t have a happy ending, instead containing a warning about the choices we make. So is choosing freedom over true love worth it? I think we know the answer in Taylor Swift’s fairytale world.
“There Goes my Baby” by Usher – And here’s another of Usher’s sexy and romantic songs that guys have just got to play for the girls that they just can’t get enough of. So make her feel like you can’t take your eyes off of her whether you’re dancing close or she’s walking away.
“Everything to Me” by Monica – Monica’s sweet voice lends itself to this perfect serenade, one of the best love songs for letting your man know that he’s your lifeline.
“Can’t Be Friends” by Trey Songz – Here’s another of the best love songs for brokenhearted guys who feel that it’s all or nothing with the girl they love. Sure faithful friends are an important part of life, but they can make it more like torture if you’re dreaming of them as more of a wife.
“Un-Thinkable (I’m Ready)” by Alisha Keys – This is one of the most romantic love songs of 2010 about taking the plunge and making a relationship a little more intimate. So if you’re feeling ready but nervous, let Alicia Keys soothe you with her amazing voice.
“Love All Over Me” by Monica – Monica knows how to set the perfect mood for romantic moments with her love songs, and this one perfectly describes the transformation that love can bring to life when we get it all over us.
“Between the Lines” by Stone Temple Pilots – For those that prefer love songs that rock, this sexy tune doesn’t keep it between the lines. It may not be all that romantic, but it might get you talking about love with the one you love.
“Jar of Hearts” by Christina Perri – This is one of the most unique love songs of 2010, as it’s about trying to avoid a would-be lover. So if you’re trying to prevent your heart from being put in a jar, let Christina Perri help you escape this horrible fate.
“Say You’ll Haunt Me” by Stone Sour – And here’s one of the best love songs of 2010 for those who prefer them a little darker (if hearts in jars wasn’t dark enough for you). So if you want your love to haunt you forever, hopefully this spooky song will inspire a little paranormal activity.
“The Crow and the Butterfly” by Shinedown – This is another angst-filled love song about intense desire, but this one compares it a crow trying to chase down a fluttering feast. Okay, putting it that way makes it seem less than romantic, but it’s still an awesome allegory.
“Right Thru Me” by Nicki Minaj – Nicki Minaj doesn’t quite have Monica’s or Alicia Keys’ romantic way with words, but she sure can spit out a lot of them. And for anyone who has been frustrated with a lover that knows them just a little bit too well, take comfort in knowing that you’re not the only one that has experienced that same personal hell.
“Please Don’t Go” by Mike Posner – Begging a lover not to leave is definitely nothing new when it comes to love songs, and Mike Posner honors this tradition with yet another one. Has a song ever worked when it comes to keep someone from saying goodbye? I don’t know, but I guess playing this one is worth a try.
So whether you’re brokenhearted or just getting started, hopefully there are some love songs on this list that your heart just can’t resist.
