Getting married in 2022 and having trouble picking the perfect first dance song that expresses your unconditional love for your spouse? Your wedding organizer is here to set all your troubles free!
Planning the perfect wedding is not just about the decorations and motifs but is also about setting the mood and bringing people together on your special day.
Just as I am here to bring all your wedding plans to life, I am also here to help you set the perfect mood for a perfect day by giving you the best songs to play on your first dance as a married couple.
I know, there is an endless list of songs you can choose from. And I am here to tell you that you don’t have to exhaust yourself – this is your wedding after all.
Finding the perfect song to express your commitment to eternity is as meaningful as making the commitment itself.
For your first dance as a married couple, think about songs that you both enjoy and that you can sing along to. When picking a song to sing together, choose one that will stand the test of time, whether it is from a movie you saw together or was played on your first date.
If you’re not a duo that plays by the rules, avoid clichés and go for something unconventional.
To start off and open the floor for your first wedding dance here are the Top 10 Wedding First Dance Songs in 2022 playlist for you.
1. “Perfect” by Ed Sheeran and Beyonce
Sheeran’s lyrics have a way of making you feel something. For a couple who has been together since they were teenagers or early twenties, the line “we were just kids when we fell in love” is indeed perfect.
Beyonce’s duet with Ed Sheeran, “Perfect,” is a great choice for your wedding song. When you and your partner take the dance floor to this romantic duet, everyone in the room will know you’ve found your soul mate, and that you’re dancing with them.
2. “Make You Feel My Love” by Adele
Adele’s brilliance is in her ability to render any hyperbole convincingly commonplace. “Make You Feel My Love,” the British singer’s cover of Bob Dylan’s 1997 original, is so solemn that it has a somber undertone, but lines like “Go to the ends of the earth for you / To make you feel my love” elevate it to a piano-laced love anthem for the ages.
3. “You Are The Reason” by Calum Scott and Leona Lewis
“You Are the Reason” by Calum Scott is a great song to dance to for your first dance if you and your significant other have been through some rough times together.
Everything about this song can be summed up in the line, “you are the reason that I’m still breathing.”
4. “Lover” by Taylor Swift
No doubt that “Lover” will be the most popular first dance song of this year and the following year and beyond.
For a wedding, this Taylor gem has the lyric “my heart has been borrowed and yours has been blue”! The song just screams authenticity and comfort, which reflects the feelings you have with your forever.
There is no doubt that this song would be the perfect first dance song for you and your “lover” whom you’re willing to save every table for.
5. “I Am Yours” by Andy Grammer
Love and romance should be the focus of your wedding day, and Andy Grammer’s song “I Am Yours” does just that.
“I am yours now and forever, wouldn’t dream to be anything more.”
“I was put on this earth to love you…”
It is a sweet but memorable choice that can work for any couple, regardless of your favorite musical genre. Even if you’re not a great dancer or don’t plan to practice any first dance choreography, this ballad is a good choice.
6. “Stuck with U” by Ariana Grande and Justin Bieber
If there is a perfect cut love song that was made for pandemic lovers, it sure is Grande and Bieber’s hit love song, “Stuck with U”.
In addition to being a fun and unexpected first dance song, Ariana Grande’s “Stuck With U” is an excellent excuse to enjoy some smooth and breathy Justin Bieber falsettos!
If you were forced to spend time in quarantine with your significant other, then this song should be on your top list.
The song’s lyrics, “all this lovin’ you, hatin’ you, wanting you,” will perfectly capture your emotions.
7. “From the Ground Up” by Dan and Shay
For a swift and expressive expression of love, Dan and Shay will be there to prove that your beginnings also mark forever with your special someone.
The song was justified by the singers who were also inspired by their grandma and grandpa’s love stories.
“And we’ll build this love from the ground up/Now ’til forever it’s all of me, all of you”
8. “Black and White” by Niall Horan
It’s possible that you’ll be the first of your friends to dance to this song, as it was only released last year in 2020.
This love song from former One Direction’s Niall will surely melt your heart as you hold onto your always during your very first dance.
With lyrics such as “see you standing in your dress, swear in front of all our friends, there’ll never be another, I promise that I’ll love you for the rest of my life,” it’s the ideal first dance song.
When you’re running out of words to tell your lover how much you’re grateful for them, let this song speak for itself.
9. “Conversations in the Dark” by John Legend
This song is perfect for any newlywed couple who wants to spend a long, happy, and healthy life together because it contains the line “I will never try to change you; I will always want the same you.”
“Conversations in the Dark” is John Legend’s latest tear-jerker/heart-exploding ballad, complete with impeccable piano playing and lyrics that speak to the heart.
10. “Best Part” by Daniel Ceaser ft. H.E.R
This acoustic song with its perfect guitar riffs will surely be the melody you will remember for the rest of your life.
This masterpiece by Ceaser with ethereal H.E.R is what love sounds like. Your heart will be pierced by the soothing, clean melodies of Caesar and H.E.R.’s voices, and they will make everyone believe in true love, which isn’t often found in music.
A lively crowd is energized by great music, and a lively crowd makes for a great party. The newlywed couple’s joy is heightened by music, which sets the mood for a party.
All these songs are perfectly handpicked by me as I picture you dancing to your forever.
No matter where you are, I hope these songs will transport you right back onto the dancefloor at your wedding day wherever and whenever you are in the future.
