Celebrating love in all forms, Spotify has revealed the top local and global love songs and playlists to elevate everyone's special moments this Valentine's Day. Whether it is spending the day with a partner, family, or friends - or simply toasting the single life - there is always a soundtrack for your innermost feelings.
Thailand Inspired by Love
It is no secret that Thais enjoy a great romantic track - with classics like John Legend's "All of Me" and Ed Sheeran's "Thinking Out Loud" placing first and second in the Top Global Songs in Valentine's Day Playlists. But for the last three years, uplifting songs such as Ink Waruntorn's "สายตาหลอกกันไม่ได้ (Eyes Don't Lie)", BOWKYLION's "ยิ้มมา" and Billkin's "โคตรพิเศษ - From แปลรักฉันด้วยใจเธอ" have certainly swept Thais off their feet, with fans showing their continuous support for local artists and their love songs year after year.
In an exclusive interview with Spotify, Ink Waruntorn explains the significant role that love plays in her craft, "Love helps me see things from a fresh perspective and has inspired me to turn my experiences into relatable lyrics. Through music, not only can I share my stories, but I can also reveal my deepest emotions as I sing."
For BOWKYLION, love is the first step in her creative process. "The heart, passion and joy I have in making music is my main inspiration; the foundation of my art", she states.
Thai music lovers also can't get enough of discovering new favorites, with "พิง - เพลงประกอบละคร กระเช้าสีดา" by Nont Tanont taking the number one spot for Thailand's Most Played Romantic Love Songs in 2022, followed by No One Else's "ต่อจากนี้เพลงรักทุกเพลงจะเป็นของเธอเท่านั้น" and Patrickananda's "คนไกล".
Set the Tone with Lyrics & Playlists
Music makes for the best gift this Valentine's Day whether for oneself or a special someone. Listeners can now tap further into their emotions with Lyrics - one of Spotify's latest and most requested in-app features, that brings song lyrics to life in an interactive and shareable experience. Music lovers can fully immerse in soundtracks, connect deeper with their beloved artists, and even share lyrics that inspire them on social media. From a musician's perspective, Ink says, "Lyrics are something listeners focus on and understand best. Lyrics help listeners better understand and relate to your music".
Lyrics also have an ability to seamlessly voice the most heartfelt emotions, as BOWKYLION says, "Through lyrics, music alone is enough to express how we feel without the need to say anything more."
Here's how to use and share Spotify's Lyrics:
