With Valentine’s Day coming up, it’s time to dust off that sexy playlist for a night of seductive meals and romantic moods. If your playlist is looking a little dry for that special evening, consider some of these songs to make your Valentine’s Day a little more romantic.

“Save the Best for Last” by Vanessa Williams

“I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” by Aerosmith

“Je T’aime … Moi Non Plus” by Jane Birkin and Serge Gainsbourg

“Your Body is a Wonderland” by John Mayer
