Love & Sex

On this track, most couples dance their first dance.

Wedding dance

How sultry it is, as a couple together on the dance floor to give the signal for the most intimate party ever. Only... Which song can you best swing your awkward body from side to side?

The choice is as huge as everything else. Every two seconds, a new song is written somewhere in the world, and on Spotify alone, there are four million tracks that have never been listened to. So, start choosing. It's all part of the big planning of your wedding. But in this case, you're lucky. We can sneak a peek at others. What do other couples dance to during the big moment called a first dance? Spotify has figured it out for you.

At number one is Ed Sheeran with his hit ‘Thinking Out Loud’. Something about ‘we found love right where we are’. Oh yes, it doesn't get any sweeter and cuter than this. At number two, there is indeed a surprise. It's the song ‘At Last’ by Etta James. One from the old box. And one that goes nice and slow. You don't need any dance moves: hold each other, move a little bit from here to there, and look at each other. The music does the rest. And at number three: ‘You Are The Best Thing’ by Ray LaMontagne. Also so wonderfully sweet. That's fine too, on such a day. It’s all about love, right?

The rest of the list, if you're looking for some musical inspiration (also nice for another party, in case you don't have a wedding planned anytime soon):

All of me – John Legend
A Thousand Years – Christina Perri
Make you feel my love – Adele
I won’t give up – Jason Mraz
Everything – Michael Bublé
Better Together – Jack Johnson

Don't forget to create a wilder playlist for the honeymoon? Otherwise, you might get a bit too pink, romantic, and sticky, just the two of you. That’s not so great for his masculinity.
