We all know ‘Bad Touch’, ‘I’m Too Sexy’ and ‘Sex on the Beach’. Don’t get us wrong – we like dancing to them as much as the next person – but when it comes to songs that actually make us feel in the mood for sex, they don’t quite do the trick.
Turn up the volume on these 25 songs and get ready for a night to remember…
The Classics
- Ginuwine – Pony
Brought back to the 00’s thanks to Magic Mike, ‘Pony’ is a song that we can’t help but dance to.
- Marvin Gaye – Let’s Get It On
What bedroom playlist would be complete without Marvin Gaye? Soulful, sexual and seductive; it’s a classic.
- Adina Howard – Freak Like Me
Freak all through the night with this unforgettable hit.
- Spice Girls – 2 Become 1
A far cry from ‘Wannabe’, ‘2 Become 1’ is the perfect warm up to a romantic evening.
- Donna Summer – Love to Love You Baby
This song may be over 40 years old, but we just love to love it, baby.
90s and 00s
- Lil Wayne – Lollipop
For anyone with a sweet tooth, this song is all about licking lollipops (or something like that…).
- Jeremih – Birthday Sex
Bonus points if you play this song and it is actually yours or your partner’s birthday.
- Akon feat. Snoop Dogg – I Wanna F*ck You
Not the most subtle song on the list, but honesty is the best policy.
- Aaliyah – Rock the Boat
Rock the boat, work the middle, change positions. Yes, yes, yes.
- Next – Too Close
When a song talks about grinding as much as this one, you know it’s going to make the list.
- Bobby V. – Slow Down
Who can resist a classic like this?
- D’Angelo – Untitled (How does it feel)
Rumour has it D’Angelo was receiving a blow job during the filming of this video.
- The xx – Do you Mind
With their trademark, minimalistic sound and haunting vocals, The xx’s version of this song takes it to a new level of sensuality and seduction.
- Busta Rhymes, Mariah Carey, Flipmode Squad – I Know What You Want
‘Baby, if you give it to me, I’ll give it to you’ – well, it’s always nice to return the favour.
- Mario – Let Me Love You
Since its release 14 years ago (HOW has it been that long?!), this song has been on our playlist.
2010 Onwards
- Beyonce – Rocket
From the opening line, you know this song means business. When it comes to sex appeal, Beyoncé delivers a masterclass.
- Selena Gomez – Good for You
We all love it when we feel and look good. Selena Gomez’s ‘Good for You’ is perfect for getting into that mind-set.
- Usher – Climax
Usher and sexiness go together like a vibrator and lube – great on their own but even better together.
- Rihanna – Skin
One of the sexiest women on the planet + singing about seducing her partner = hot, hot, hot!
- Ciara –Dance Like We’re Making Love
We could probably have created this list made entirely of Ciara’s songs but this is one of our favourites. Plus, the video is definitely worth watching.
- John Legend – Tonight (Best You Ever Had)
‘All of Me’ may win the award for romance but this one is best for getting you in the mood.
- Pia Mia – Touch
We’ve lost count how many times Pia Mia says she wants to be touched in this song – but we’re not complaining.
- Justin Timberlake – Pusher Love Girl
With its slow tempo and Timberlake’s unmistakable falsetto, ‘Pusher Love Girl’ brings sexiness, strips it down and delivers it on a silver platter.
- DJ Khaled, Rihanna and Bryson Tiller – Wild Thoughts
This chart-topping, Latin-inspired song is impossible not to dance to.
- Miguel – Adorn
With its deep bass and Miguel’s vocals, this song is unmistakably sexy.
