It’s no surprise there are so many songs about crushes. There are few things in life more exciting than a new crush—that feeling of surprise, the rush of adrenaline, the nervousness, the expectation, the unexpected joy at finding someone and something that just might be the next big wonderful thing in your life. Or the next big terrifying thing, depending on your point of view.
Crushes come in many shapes and sizes. Maybe your crush is on someone you’ve known for a while and you’re only just realizing it. Maybe it’s someone you just met and can’t wait to see again. Or maybe your crush is on someone you’ve been into for a long time and it’s driving you crazy having them so close yet so far away. (Oh, the sweet agony.)
Whatever your particular situation, when there’s someone in your life you think is pretty amazing, it can do odd things to you. But, don’t worry, you aren’t alone. Many have felt a similar mix of exuberance and dread after realizing they have a crush on someone, and many have put their thoughts into songs about crushes. We’ve gathered a few of them here.
If there’s someone in your life you just can’t stop thinking about, here are over 50 songs about crushes just for you. (Listen to the whole playlist at the bottom of the page or play it on Spotify.)

You, strange as angels
dancing in the deepest oceans
twisting in the water.

We got a little ahead of ourselves
like everybody else.

it’s no matter darling where you are.

night and day.

Pulsing through my veins.

this feeling that remains.

Everywhere people stare
each and every day.
I can see them laugh at me
and I hear them say,

Though I try to hide it, it’s clear

When it settles right on you,
I forget what I should say.
I forget what I should do.

Asked me if I’d care to dance.
I fell into your open arms.
I didn’t stand a chance.

Keep on whispering in my ear,
tell me all the things that I wanna’ to hear, ’cause that’s true.
