10 Perfect Songs to Set the Mood This Valentine’s Day
Music is undeniably an aphrodisiac. To set the mood this Valentine’s Day, we’ve curated 10 tracks from Aussie artists to suit every vibe—whether you’re feeling sentimental or downright steamy.
Chet Faker – Talk is Cheap
With steamy horns and a punchy electronic beat driving the track forward, Chet Faker’s single TALK IS CHEAP explores the complexities of clashing personalities in relationships—while ultimately wanting to silence the words and let the body do the talking.
Client Liason – Off White Limousine
This one’s a bit of fun, but let’s be honest—you can’t deny the allure of stepping into Client Liaison’s OFF WHITE LIMOUSINE. With a sexy, INXS-inspired guitar riff, this track oozes retro charm and feels right at home in an ’80s romcom.
Holly Hebe – Ultra Love (Feat. Ella Rosa)
Released late last year, Holly Hebe’s ULTRA LOVE (feat. Ella Rosa) has already made waves. The track captures the deep, stable connection that flourishes in the later stages of a relationship—that ride-or-die feeling with the one you love.
BIG WETT – Pony (Ride Me)
Looking to get down and dirty? PONY (RIDE ME) by BIG WETT has you covered. With actual horse sounds and a beat that’ll have you dancing until your jocks fall off, this cheeky, high-energy track channels a dirtier Confidence Man.
Vance Joy – Georgia
Vance Joy’s album Dream Your Life Away is packed with incredible tracks, but GEORGIA is one that will stand the test of time. A heartfelt tribute to love in all its complexities and contradictions, Joy’s warm vocals pair beautifully with the song’s twinkling guitar melodies.
grentperez & Ruel – Dandelion
This one’s a funky gem. DANDELION blends grentperez’s signature soft-indie style and distinctive falsetto with Ruel’s sultry vocals, creating a track that feels effortlessly smooth. We could go anywhere tonight, Dandelion.
Mallrat – Charlie
While technically named after her golden retriever, Mallrat’s CHARLIE is just as applicable to humans—we promise. This stripped-back track puts her delicate vocals front and center as she sings about loving someone wholeheartedly, whether or not the feeling is mutual.
The Rubens – Elvis
A song about unconditional love and weathering the tough times, ELVIS by The Rubens delivers an emotional punch. With rhythmic accents that drive the track forward, it’s one you could easily dance to with someone special.
Cub Sport – Always Got The Love
ALWAYS GOT THE LOVE is the song Cub Sport frontman Tim Nelson wished he could’ve heard during lockdown, which makes it all the more meaningful. This euphoric anthem is a celebration of queer love, set to a high-energy, European-style club banger.
Divinyls – I Touch Myself
Come on, you knew this one would make the list, right? I Touch Myself is an iconic track that boldly explores eroticism and female masturbation. A perfect, empowering finish for the girls to wrap up this list.
