1. Love Will Keep You up All Night by Backstreet Boys
When you genuinely love someone, you won't be able to stop thinking about them. They'll always be on your mind, and if you ever get into an argument with them, you'll be up all night thinking about how to fix it. There will even be nights when things are perfectly peaceful, but you'll be up all night anyway, thinking about how lucky you are to be with such an amazing specimen.
2. Love is an Open Door from Frozen
Even though Hans didn't mean any of the things he said in this song, the lyrics explain love perfectly. When you have feelings for someone, the world becomes a land of opportunities. You feel like you can accomplish anything. It just makes you happy to be alive, even on the most boringly bland day.

Despite the twist that comes later in the movie, this song reflects the joyous optimism we often associate with falling in love—the belief that anything is possible when you have each other.
