Valentine’s Day Songs for Lovers and Singles

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at UNL chapter.

Like it or not, the most sentimental holiday of the year is back again. Maybe you have an elaborate date planned or are exchanging gifts with your significant other. Perhaps you’re single, and the holiday is dominated by deep self-loathing that leads to a shame spiral (it shouldn’t). Maybe you choose not to observe it because you think it’s an overrated Hallmark holiday. That’s why we’ve crafted playlists to accommodate varying V-day perspectives.
