What's better than a super-specific playlist? We love to cue up tracks to fit or enhance our every mood, whether we're hoping to tap into some motivation [1], enjoy a happy streak [2], or even have a good cry after a breakup [3]. It's no surprise, then, that we love to have playlists full of dirty songs on hand for when we're feeling a little (or a lot) sexy. Multicolored LED mood lights, expensive lacy loungewear, and luxurious scented candles [4] aside, nothing really sets the tone better than a playlist full of bedroom songs.
The right tracklist can help you tell a crush that it's time for one of you to make a move without actually telling them; it can indicate to a long-term partner that it's time for the two of you to turn off the TV and head to the bedroom; and it can put you in the mood for some self-love. And don't worry about combing through thousands of tracks to find the best sensual songs for the bedroom. From Beyoncé's iconic "Dance For You" to Ariana Grande [5] and The Weeknd's sultry "Love Me Harder," these seductive songs help set the stage for a self-indulgent evening [6] of fun and pleasure.
