Great question—and honestly, a lot! Songs about relationships are one of the biggest themes in music, and they span across emotions, genres, and styles. Here’s a breakdown of some common types (with examples to make it fun):

Falling in love – That butterflies-in-your-stomach feeling.
Example: “Can’t Help Falling in Love” – Elvis Presley

Being in love – Steady, committed, deep love.
Example: “Thinking Out Loud” – Ed Sheeran

Unrequited love – One-sided feelings.
Example: “Creep” – Radiohead

Crush songs – Flirty and fun.
Example: “Call Me Maybe” – Carly Rae Jepsen

💔 Breakup Songs
Heartbreak – Sad, raw emotional pain.
Example: “Someone Like You” – Adele

Angry breakups / revenge – Bitterness or empowerment.
Example: “Before He Cheats” – Carrie Underwood

Regret & longing – Wishing things had gone differently.
