Com Beyoncé no topo, Billboard escolhe as melhores canções românticas do século 21

O texto lembra do vídeo da música (um tributo ao New Edition), o incrível desempenho vocal exibida pela cantora, especialmente na parte final, e a performance da música no VMA daquele ano, quando ela revelou ao mundo que estava grávida e que “a pessoa para quem aquele amor era cantado havia crescido demais para apenas duas pessoas”). A cantora ainda emplacou outro single na lista: “Crazy In Love (feat. Jay Z)“, no 11° posto.

Curiosamente, a lista não tem nenhuma música dos “anos 20”, estaria essa década fadada a ser marcada pela falta de romantismo?, mas se mostra abrangente o bastante ao ir de Beyoncé ao Maná e de Café Tacvba a Bruno Mars.

As canções mais antigas da lista são “By Your Side“, de Sade (no sétimo lugar), e “The Light“, ambas lançadas no ano 2000. “Adore You“, de Harry Styles, de 2019 e em sexto, é a mais recente.
