Hey writerly friends!

Welcome back to Wonderforest for an extra mushy blog post, this week, in current faves! Today I’m giving you guys a list of my top ten mushy romantic songs to write to! (Aka songs I would probably play on my wedding day, tbh) These are all light-hearted, happy, and feel-good romantic songs to listen to, to pop in your ear buds, press play on the playlist and prepare to write some happy, mushy love scenes!

In no particular order, here are my top ten favorite love songs to write romance to:

“I’d Really Love To See You Tonight” by England Dan and John Ford Cole

I'm not talking 'bout movin' in

And I don't want to change your life

But there's a warm wind blowin' the stars around

And I'd really love to see you tonight

“Mine” -The 1975

There comes a time in a young man's life

He should settle down and find himself a wife

But I'm just fine 'cause I know that you're mine

“Signed Sealed & Delivered” - Stevie Wonder (Sylow Remix)

Here I am baby

Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours

Here I am baby

Signed, sealed, delivered, I'm yours

“It’s Not Living if it’s not with you” - The 1975

And all I do is sit and think about you

If I knew what you'd do

Collapse my veins wearing beautiful shoes

It's not living if it's not with you

“All Night” – Beyoncé

All night long, sweet love all night long

Sweet love all night long

Sweet love all night long

All I wanna, ain't no other

We together, I remember

Sweet love all night long

“I couldn’t be more in love” -The 1975

So what about these feelings I've got?

We got it wrong

And you said you had enough

What about these feelings I've got?

I couldn't be more in love

“Lover” Taylor Swift 

We could let our friends crash in the living room

This is our place, we make the call

And I'm highly suspicious that everyone who sees you wants you

I've loved you three summers now, honey, but I want 'em all

“I Wanna Be With You” - Lady Gaga (2019 Revamped Version)

I won't be right without you

And I might break without you.

I'd rather be poor and happy than rich and alone.

I'll write hit songs about you,

No matter how, we'll get through.

I'll keep on singing for a living,

But I wanna be in love.

And I wanna be with you.

I wanna be with you.

“Just a Step Away” - Carly Rae Jepsen

I’ll never let you down

And I’ll never go away

And if your ever feeling down

I’m just a step away

“All That” - Carly Rae Jepsen

I'll be the magic you'll ever see (ever see)

You can always rely on me

To help you do what you want to do

I wanna be the best you've ever known (ever known)

Just let me in your arms

Just let me in your arms

Show me if you want me

If I'm all that

I will be that

I will be your friend
