In The Mood for Love: Valentine's Day Playlists

Whether we like it or not—love rules our world. It affects everyone’s lives differently. You may be falling in love, falling out of love, or learning to love yourself—either way, love plays a huge role in our day-to-day moods. This Valentine’s Day, we are in the mood for love.

Here are three playlists that encompass what it feels like to find love, to have lost love, and to find it again, but this time within yourself.

Falling

This first playlist is all about what it feels like to fall in love. From the “Butterflies” that Kacey Musgraves mentions in her tune, to realizing your significant other is the “Only One” like Kanye West and every emotion in between. This playlist ranges over a wide variety of genres such as pop, alternative, R&B, and more. For all the lovers out there, this one is for you.

Out of love with you

Sometimes, love doesn’t feel so good. Have you ever had that moment when you realize “I Know It’s Over” like The Smiths? Or maybe when you simply can’t “Stop Crying Your Heart Out” like Oasis. From Frank Ocean to Pheobe Bridgers to Taylor Swift, this playlist is sure to encompass any feelings you may endure during a heartbreak.

but in love with me

Self-love is always in style and our queens Beyoncé, Doja Cat, and Avril Lavigne never let us forget it. Whether you’re moving on from a bad situation and you need to “Shake It Out” as Florence + The Machine say, or you want to be your own “Soulmate” like Lizzo this Valentine’s Day, this is the playlist for you. “But In Love With Me” is all about empowerment and should be played no matter your relationship status this year.

No matter what your take on love is this Valentine’s Day, we hope you can find comfort in one of these playlists. Music is the perfect medicine for a broken heart, and it gives you the power to put your thoughts into words and motivate you to be your best self. We will for sure be blasting all of these tunes all February long.
