The second you hit play, you\u2019re going to want to grab your person, pull them a little closer, and remind them exactly why it was always meant to be.

In 1969, the legendary Stevie Wonder dedicated this song to a prior lover while enrolled as a student at the Michigan School for the Blind in Lansing, Michigan. After parting ways, Wonder couldn&#8217;t help but turn a broken heart into a ballad. As you listen to the lyrics, he expresses his yearning to see her face someday, hoping to share another moment in time, as he is the only girl his heart beats for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:clamp(16.293px, 1.018rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.946), 25px);\"><strong>\u201cThinking of You\u201d- Sister Sledge<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Thinking of You (1995 Remaster)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9iUE4F9UHok?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThinking of You\u201d goes down as one of the funkiest love songs I know. Produced by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, the track instantly pulls you in with its guitar riffs and steady bassline. Performed by Sister Sledge, best known for \u201cWe Are Family,\u201d the quartet truly does the song justice. Following its 1984 release, it climbed to No. 11 on the UK Singles Chart, adding to the group\u2019s legacy of selling over 20 million records worldwide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:clamp(16.293px, 1.018rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.946), 25px);\"><strong>\u201cLady\u201d &#8211; D\u2019Angelo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Lady\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m1WkZtA6QVk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>A neo-soul classic that never leaves my rotation. The late, great D&#8217;Angelo, alongside producer Raphael Saadiq, created a timeless track about that one special woman. It\u2019s the kind of song that lingers\u2014smooth, catchy, and stuck in your head for days. The lyrics are simple, stretching across six minutes of him claiming his lady, unbothered by the world watching. And somehow, every time I hear it, it makes me feel like I\u2019m the only girl in the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:clamp(16.293px, 1.018rem + ((1vw - 3.2px) * 0.946), 25px);\"><strong>\u201cBeautiful\u201d- Tweet<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Beautiful\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/oEImc4QQi1c?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine a love so captivating it leaves you speechless. On this 2002 track, Tweet describes a kind of pure, refreshing love she\u2019s never felt before. The buildup to the bridge\u2014those layered harmonies\u2014has to be my favorite part. It feels like she\u2019s floating, reaching a kind of euphoria just from thinking about her lover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>  I hope you enjoyed the read!
