If it’s been a minute since you last heard the boy-band stylings of Boys II Men, what better night than February 14 to get reacquainted?
I could say I put this song on here because it’s a personal favorite, but it turns out it is the No. 1 most-used wedding song. Wedding or not, there’s nothing like some classic Etta James melodies for a memorable Valentine’s.
The first time I heard Coming Home, I was convinced it was a decades-old song I somehow happened to never had heard. If you haven’t given the full album a listen, grabbing the vinyl version is a must.
Though not a vinyl manufacturer by trade, the noted card maker has taken its Valentine’s Day offerings to the next level. This card comes with a classic Hallmark-style greeting and opens up to reveal a 45 rpm vinyl record. You can choose to have two songs from Aretha Franklin, Bruno Mars, or INXS.
Maybe one of your parents talked about their smooth operating days or maybe you first heard of this silky voiced singer via Drake’s Instagram. However you came to discover Sade, there’s no denying Diamond Life is a great choice for the most commercially backed romantic day of the year.
For a more mellow soundtrack, you can’t go wrong with Norah Jones’ Grammy-winning album Come Away With Me. It’s a bit more moody, but still pulls at the heartstrings.
There was no way Al Green’s Let’s Stay Together was going to be left off this list. If you hit up Google for the “best” romantic songs or albums, you will see this photo of Al Green all over the place.
You might know Maxwell from his hits Pretty Wings or This Woman’s Work. His debut album, Urban Hang Suite, will really resonate with valentines who have gone through the more bittersweet and vulnerable ups and downs of a relationship.
If I must explain why this is an obvious choice for a lovey-dovey IRL soundtrack, you’re in the wrong place.

What's happened? This week, China's Quality Certification Center released information about a battery (EB-BS04898ABY) with a maximum capacity of 4,855mAh. That's the same capacity as was previously seen in the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra, and fans have taken this certification to mean the Galaxy S26 Ultra will not see a capacity increase after all.
The Samsung Galaxy Ultra models have had the same battery capacity for the last five years.
What's happened? Samsung has officially announced the Galaxy Tab S10 Lite, a budget-friendly alternative to the Galaxy Tab S10. The device has been rumored for months, but this is the first time Samsung has officially acknowledged its existence.
The Galaxy Tab S10 Lite will have a 10.9-inch display and a peak brightness of 600 nits — a bit on the lower side, versus the iPad Pro's maximum brightness of 1,600 nits.
