When it comes to popping the question, there are a zillion ways to put it out there. Whether you go down on your knees at a beach and pull out a beautiful ring or surprise your partner at a private dinner involving friends and family, it is for sure that no proposal is complete without the perfect song! Adding the right music to your big moment is just the right ‘formula’ to make your pros one-of-a-kind. It instantly personalizes the moment for you and your partner and makes it all the more romantic.
Now, choosing the best songs for your ‘marry-me’ playlist can be a task! Also, the fact that there are so many things that you could do at this moment – from going all lovey-dovey or something upbeat and fun calls in a bit more effort on your part. But we have made it easier for you with this list of songs to play while you pop the question!
1) All of Me – John Legend
With the best lyrics of all love songs and the soulful voice of John Legend, All of Me undoubtedly tops the list of every proposal/love songs list! It’s not only a beautiful song to listen to but also very meaningful. The lyrics of this song rightly express the pure feelings of a lover for his significant other – how he falls in love with every part of his beloved. Play this song while looking lovingly at your partner, just before you put out the ring, and I am sure this would make them feel special. Or, to make it even more romantic, just sing along! 😉
2) Marry You – Bruno Mars
Yes, we know this one from Bruno Mars is the most played song at engagements/weddings. But can we actually fault it? This song is sure to set charms to your moment with its upbeat and happy tunes! It has all the ingredients that make it a perfect proposal song – it is romantic without being over the top, a jolly feel, and just the appropriate lyrics that goes – “Just say I do”! Isn’t it the feel you want before going down on your knees?
3) Just The Way You Are – Bruno Mars
Here is yet another song from my favorite artist. I guess Bruno Mars has adorned some aspects of love, for sure! Just The Way You Are might be a little too cheesy for some, but it is one of the best songs to tell your woman how much she means to you. Those lyrics are nothing too extraordinary but this direct style of his of telling a woman that she looks beautiful the way she is, makes all of us connect with the song. This song will just put it all out for you!
4) Stay With Me – Sam Smith
Another heartfelt tune to add to this list is from Sam Smith. It is the perfect song that you would want at your big moment! This song is light and simple that won’t distract you and your partner from the moment. At the same time, this song powerfully conveys your feelings to the person in front of you. The person would know that they are your love and you want them to be with you forever by your side.
5) Thinking Out Loud – Ed Sheeran
The essence of a proposal lies in asking your significant other to spend the rest of their lives with you, and this song expresses this very sentiment. And Ed Sheeran is one of those singers loved by every generation. So, I feel people can easily relate to his songs, and this song in particular also has the appropriate lyrics that say – “Darling I will be loving till 70”. What could be a better proposal than this? You plan on making this bond last with your partner, and every line of this song conveys this message to them!
So, with this, you have a good-to-go playlist to capture how you feel and express the same to your partner. Also, make sure you know what environment is comfortable for your partner. A lot of people are not too comfortable with a grand, public affair! If that’s the case with your partner too then, take it to the comfort of your home. Dim the lights, grab a bouquet and pour some wine. Finally, play your songs and pop the BIG question!
I hope you have the best time with your loved one:) Also, Happy Propose Day!
