The Stranger staffers have put our heads together and present our favorite Valentine's Day songs for you to enjoy as you spend today thinking about the people you love. Secretly or publicly, right next to you or 2,800 miles away, romantically or because they're family, etc.

Of note: Angel Haze's "CANDLXS" is not on Spotify but it can be found here, and is worth at least three listens.

Our Valentine's Day planner is here and your dinner game plan for tonight is here. Read our reader-submitted Valentines here and our best worst date stories here.
