#1 - Mirrorball by Taylor Swift

This song by Taylor Swift is just what you need if you’re looking for a mellow, soft vibe. “Mirrorball” is a melodic ballet about the beauty and fragile nuances of love. The artist specifically used a mirrorball as a metaphor to portray that although these objects are quite fragile, they still manage to provide happiness to everyone around them.

#2 - No Judgment (Acoustic Version) by Niall Horan

This song is for when you get a ‘forever’ kind of feeling with that special someone. A relationship where there’s no judgment, and nothing can faze the two of you ‘cuz you’re just full of love. This number is a must-play if you intend on telling your partner how they really make you feel.
