57 Songs to Play When You’re In Love With Your Best Friend

There are certain Hollywood or BookTok storylines that are undeniably heart-racing, toe-curling perfection. Who can say no to the plot where the main character realizes that they’re in love with their best friend? I can hear the sigh of relief from the protagonist now, celebrating the realization that everyone else came to eons ago. I know the feelings of surprise, frustration, and wonder that the main character would be feeling at this point. How? Because I am the main character.  

Apparently, I’ve been in love with my best friend for years, but I only just registered it this summer. And while love is a wonderful sensation, I can’t exactly confess my newfound feelings to him. Instead, I made a soundtrack of the perfect romantic songs, ranging from country ballads to hopeful rock tunes to cry to as I imagine all the ways things could go right (or wrong). BRB, I’m off to live out all of my wildest Wattpad fantasies through the music videos in my head, because I’m trapped in a romance trope with my BFF. 

So, if you’re also pining for your BFF, then run yourself a bath, light a candle to help set the mood, and work through your feelings on the downlow with this playlist for when you’re secretly in love with your best friend.
