Shift into Soul

To make your Valentine’s Day feel like a scene straight out of a movie-whether you’re dusting flour over heart-shaped cookies or driving down an open road — you need a playlist that transitions seamlessly from the kitchen to the car.

‘Birds of a Feather’ — Billie Eilish

This is the #1 trending romantic song right now. It captures that ‘Yellow’ feeling perfectly-shimmering, upbeat, but with lyrics that are deeply devoted. It’s the ultimate 2026 Valentine’s anthem. It has a soft, airy vocal style but a catchy ‘stuck-in-your-head’ melody.

‘Yellow’ and ‘Sparks’ — Coldplay

If you love ‘Yellow,’ you have to go back to ‘Sparks’ from the same album (Parachutes). It’s quieter and more acoustic, feeling like a whispered promise. It bridges the gap between the acoustic heart and the atmospheric chill.

‘Apocalypse’ — Cigarttes After Sex

This song is the absolute crown jewel. It feels like slow-dancing in a room full of smoke and moonlight. It has that same ‘limerence’ (that feeling of being totally obsessed with someone) that ‘Yellow’ captures, but in a much more chilled-out way.
