5. "Qaafiraana" by Arjit and Nikitha Gandhi

For those who aren't vocal about their feelings or not poetic in their expression, this one perfectly says it through lyrics.

While Arjith Singh and Nikitha Gandhi sing on this track, Amit Trivedi composed it.

6. "Please Don't Go" by Barcelona

This truly powerful song churns the emotions more than acts as a relaxant. But its steady, placid chords and poignant sting instrumentals add elements that are sure to evoke either tears of sadness or deeply hidden feelings.

7. "Pal Ek Pal" by Arjit Singh

The romantic song "Pal Ek Pal" features Varun Mitra and Rhea Chakraborty, who are the lead actors of "Jalebi."

Moreover, the popularity of this tune is growing by leaps and bound owing to its soulful aura.

8. "No Ordinary Love" by Sade

Sade's song is best for planning a romantic night in that you're hoping will end in the bedroom. Light some candles and dim the lights. It's slow-paced and passionate and should lead to a romantic and emotional connection. Don't play this song unless you are ready to be intimate!

9. "Kuda Jaane" by Shilpa Rao & KK

The fact that Ranbir and Deepika were actually in a relationship when this song came out makes it all the more romantic. And though they aren't together anymore, the song remains a favorite to all.
