Harlequin Band - What are the most popular first songs?
Choosing a first dance song is either easy for some or a nightmare for others. Some couples have a song that they love (a song that brings them back to that very first date or lyrics that just make them think of their partner). Others are inspired by a romantic song that’s popular at the time of their planning. For others, it’s not quite that simple. They’ve songs they like a lot but when it comes down to it; they can’t quite pinpoint one they want for a moment like this.
Timeless classics are a good place to start if you’re stumped, as there are lots of them that are perfect first dance material - from the lyrics and the melody to the nice relaxed tempo; they’re made for this romantic style of dance.
