Bask in the warm fuzzy feelings of queer summer romance with this soundtrack. Close your eyes and open your ears to the magical journey from initial crush to LET'S GET A CAT.
"Love Me Like You Do," Ellie Goulding
The soundtrack to all of your most gushy, mushy, gross feelings.
"Shut Up And Dance," Walk The Moon
The soundtrack to those moments you'd rather show your feeling-y feelings through the power of interpretive dance. Pivot turns and hairography are mandatory.

HEY, GIRL! DOES YOUR LEFT EYE HURT? BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN LOOKING RIGHT ALLLL DAY.
"Worth It," Fifth Harmony

The classic summer love jam.
"Little Bit," Lykke Li cover
For when you're ready to take your slow-jam game, and your relationship, to the next level.
"Two Weeks," FKA Twigs
Use this track wisely and deploy only when necessary. This is an advanced slow jam not intended for beginners. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED.

For holding hands, looking into each other's eyes, and doing spins.
"Summerboy," Lady Gaga
