Let’s be honest, saying “I love you” doesn’t always come easy. Billboard has narrowed them down and put together a list of our favorite EDM love songs of all time.
Whether the lyrics detail finding your soulmate or realizing you still having feelings for the one that got away, there are hundreds of electronic tracks pinpointing the fuzzy feeling you get when you’re around that special someone. When words and EDM’s trademark pulsing beats join forces, it’s no surprise that love is among the most popular subjects. DJs like Calvin Harris have made the genre more accessible to all music lovers - with Rihanna, Ellie Goulding, Frank Ocean and Migos being among the collaborators who’ve brought vocals to his skillful arrangements. Several top 10s have proven EDM’s reach goes beyond the club and rave scenes. Sure, it is country, pop and R&B that have seen most of the biggest hits under the everlasting theme - but “love songs” encompass much more than just sentimental ballads.ĮDM may have a reputation for heavy bass drops and addictive synth beats, but a growing number of dance tracks feature thoughtful and emotional lyrics, too. When you think of love songs, artists like Frank Sinatra, Etta James, The Beatles, Al Green and Dolly Parton are probably among the first that come to mind.
