Valentine’s Day is a time to show romantic partners how much they mean to you — unless you’re single. Then it’s just a reminder of your singleness.

And if you are single, you’re not alone. We wanted you and your feelings to be represented, so we made you this playlist (you’re welcome).

This list includes anthems and bops to match any feelings you may have about the day. Press play and tell us what you think.

(Warning: Neither The Banner nor I are responsible for any actions you take in the course of listening to these songs).
