How do you pick the ‘perfect’ song for such a special day? There’s no one song that suits every couple out there and there are so many love songs out there that it is truly mind boggling to do so!
Here’s our suggested picks of 10 unique and meaningful songs. We have included songs from different genres, different eras, a few different languages (only English, Chinese and Korean) and even checked the lyrics for inappropriateness (trust us, some popular love songs have some really dodgy or sad lyrics in them).

I Do – Colbie Caillat
An impossibly upbeat and cheery song with realistic lyrics that would get your guests grooving and put a smile on their faces.
Lyrics you will love:
It’s always been about me, myself and I
I thought relationships were nothing but a waste of time

That was the only way I knew til I met you
You make we wanna say
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do doo
Best Day of My Life – American Authors
Also another upbeat song with positive lyrics reinforced throughout. If your guest did not already know this is the best day of your life, they will after this song.

This is gonna be, this is gonna be, this is gonna be
The best day of my life
Everything is looking up, everybody up now
All My Life -K-Ci & JoJo
Classic old school ballad. Period.

And I thank God that I, that I finally found you
All my life I’ve prayed for someone like you
And I hope that you feel the same way too
Yes, I pray that you do love me too
Way back into love – Hugh Grant & Drew Barrymore
Duet. Reminds one of the feeling of falling in love.
Lyrics you will love:
All I wanna do is find a way back into love,
I can’t make it through without a way back into love,
And if I open my heart to you,
I’m hoping you’ll show me what to do,
And if you help me to start again,
You know that I’ll be there for you in the end!
Crazy Love – Michael Buble
Michael Buble brings love to life with his voice.

Ballad with funky beats. Give it a listen and fall in love with this band on your special day.
Lyrics you will love:
I will sing this love song yeah
We have happy days because we’re together

The days that warm my heart
黑白配 – 范玮琪
Saccharine mandopop love song that sings of how two very different people come together in love. Nice melody. Nicer lyrics.
Lyrics you will love:
钢琴也是黑白键 Pianos, too, have black and white keys
一样能弹出我对你 只有满满的感谢 Yet they can convey that I Have only the greatest gratitude for you
也许黑永远不明白 Perhaps Black will never understand
在这个彩色的世界 有你我才会存在 That in this colourful world I can only exist with you around
Beautiful Love – Tanya Chua
Our homegrown talent has amazing vocals in this powerful love ballad. Really meaningful lyrics of appreciating the love between two.
Lyrics you will love:
我很快乐 你会了解我 I am glad you understand me
我不会再哭泣是因为我相信 I will not cry again because I believe
我们勇敢的爱着每秒钟一生的美丽 Our courageous love will witness a lifetime of beauty
Love’s beautiful so beautiful
就是爱你 – 陶喆
This song could not be more suitable. The lyrics are practically a wedding vow in itself. Sung most beautifully by my favorite David Tao.
Lyrics you will love:
我愿意 真的愿意 I am willing, truly willing
付出所有 也要保护妳 To give up everything to protect you
在一起 时间继续流逝 As we stay together as time continues to pass
请记得我有多么的爱妳 Please remember how much I love you
Firestone – Kygo ft. Conrad Sewell
While this is definitely not something you will hear at most weddings, the lyrics tell of how two people light up the world together – sounds about right. And for sure the tune will get your guests grooving into the night.
Lyrics you will love:
Our hearts are like firestones
And when they strike, we feel the love
Sparks will fly, they ignite our bones
But when they strike, we light up the world
We light up the world
