Looking for that song to complete your Valentines Day? We have a whole playlist. Treat your loved one, or yourself, to only the best.

  1. Under My Skin  — Frank Sinatra
    • Sinatra’s swooning 1946 cover of a Cole Porter staple proves why he was the original epitome of sex appeal, and why you should be wooing the ladies to the tune of this classic.
  2. Ignition (Remix) — R. Kelly
    • “Fellas on my left, honeys on my right, bring ‘em all together”… and you’ll be doing it all night with this R.Kelly jam.
  3. Time After Time — Cyndi Lauper
    • Sure, it may draw some Napoleon Dynamite references (“I like your sleeves. They’re real big.”) but you can’t go wrong with this ‘80s throwback.
  4. I’m In Love with a Stripper — T-Pain
    • All you single guys out there can wallow in your sorrows, or chill out while getting an easy squeeze. I don’t know what that means, but go for it.
  5. Single Ladies — Beyonce
    • If you watched the Super Bowl Halftime show, you know that Beyonce is a strong, independent woman. Even if Jay-Z’s put a ring on it, that doesn’t mean this anthem can’t make your Valentine’s Day… or night… a little less lonely.
  6. Every Breath You Take — The Police
    • In case it’s not clear, this song is about a creepy stalker who follows “every breath you take” and “every move you make.” So, when you get a letter in your mailbox cut from magazine letters from your “secret admirer,” just sit back, relax, and take in this sweet tune. Just be warned: he will find you.
  7. ‘Til There Was You — The Beatles
    • This soft and sweet song showcased early on why The Beatles’ music could melt panties … if you need a little help in that department (though you’re a Sun reader, so you probably don’t) be sure to crank this up.
  8. Let’s Get it On— Marvin Gaye
    • The sensuous masterpiece of a master lost before his time. If this can’t get you into his/her pants, I honestly do not know what can.  
  9. In Your Eyes — Peter Gabriel
    • Hold up a boombox to any girl's window playing this song and she will be putty in your hands.
  10. Any Song By Taylor Swift
  • Enough Said.
