It doesn’t take a genius to open Spotify and search for an Ed Sheeran croon to play as the newlywed couple take their first steps together across the dancefloor. No. A genius would search for something better. This is a list of all the songs for any couples who have grown tired of Thinking Out Loud but still yearn for that classic feel to their first dance. We’ve got your back.
1. Wish (Luke Underhill)
Lyrics you’ll love: You’re the only one / I’ll give my life to / You don’t have a clue / When I close my eyes / I wish for you
2. Dreams (The Cranberries)
2018’s first victim was the lead singer of the band, Dolores O’Riordan, but the band’s music will continue to live on throughout the decades ahead.
Lyrics you’ll love: Oh, my life is changing everyday / In every possible way / And oh my dreams / It’s never quite as it seems / ‘Cause you’re a dream to me

4. You’re Still the One (Shania Twain)
The perfect choice for any couples who have been through it all!
Lyrics you’ll love: They said, “I bet they’ll never make it” / But just look at us holding on / We’re still together / Still going strong
5. Kiss From a Rose (Seal)
Lyrics you’ll love: Yes, I compare you to a kiss from a rose on the gray / Ooh, the more I get of you, the stranger it feels, yeah / And now that your rose is in bloom / A light hits the gloom on the gray
6. Blackbird (The Beatles)
Lyrics you’ll love: Blackbird singing in the dead of night / Take these broken wings and learn to fly / All your life / You were only waiting for this moment to arise
