The 30 Best Songs To Put On Your Sex Playlist

Sex playlists-everyone's got 'em. Whether you prefer to get down and dirty to Drake and RiRi , turn up the heat with some sultry SZA, or get it on with John Legend (if only...), having a sex soundtrack can totally set the mood or up the ante on date night.

The 30 Best Songs To Put On Your Sex Playlist

The thing about these songs, however, is that they don't actually have to be about sex, though, conveniently, they usually are. What's important is the rhythm, the chills brought on by a moody voice, and the song's ability to sustain that feeling all. night. long.

Here are all the jams you're going to want to queue, STAT.

"Everything I need's between those thighs," Daniel sings on this slow beat. Yes, it's direct, but that doesn't mean the song is lacking in poetry or beauty. Throughout the entire track, Daniel sings about how the subject of his lyrics is his everything, play it when you're with yours.

This "oldie, but a goodie," excels at making you want to make sweet love surrounded by candles and an obscene amount of pillows. And if it doesn't, it should.

This song deserves top spot on any sex playlist. It's the ultimate bop about wanting to get boo'd up and make things official. What's more? It's got THE sexiest beat which is begging to play in the background while you consummate the relationship.

Every bedroom needs a little Sabrina Claudio. Her soulful voice will practically turn the lights down low on its own while you slip under the sheets.

There's a slim chance this bop isn't already on your playlist, but if it somehow isn't, allow me to introduce you to Frank Ocean and his falsetto. It's everything you'll need from the pick-me-up-and-take-me-to-the-bedroom type loving, to the let's-slowly-undress-each-other kind.

Love Galore (feat. Travis Scott) by SZA

Since including every single song from this album might be overkill (though it makes the sexiest soundtrack), here's one track that'll do the trick every time. SZA's storytelling on "Love Galore" is somehow ideal for both upping the romance and getting down and dirty when you're in that kind of mood. And then there's that baseline...

With lyrics including "Can't wait to taste your skin" and "You know that I adore you," Miguel's "Adorn" is a sexy anthem about appreciating every part of your partner before going in to touch.

Love On The Brain by Rihanna

Not that you need an explanation for wanting to (consensually) rip someone's clothes off, Rihanna is here to give you one anyway-must be love on the brain.

Sorry, Norah can't just be on here once. While most of her songs cater to nighttime lovemaking-thanks to her raspy voice and slow piano, this one is ideal for those spontaneous morning moments when you roll over, lock eyes, and instantly know what's about to go down.

This slow jam is one of those that's explicitly about sex and has the sultry beat to back up lyrics such as, "Tell me how you love me more / And how you think I'm sexy babe."

On this hip-thrusting track Ciara offers instructions: "You can keep your hands on me, touch me right there, rock my body." So, when you're unable to get the words out about what you want, Ciara's got you covered.

"Often" by The Weeknd

This sex-inducing song should appear on your sex playlist often (pun intended). Hit play and let The Weeknd's seductive voice get things started every night. (Pro tip: Try the Kygo remix for a faster tempo.)

Skin by Rihanna

Sometimes all you need is RiRi cheering you on with "No heels / No shirt / No skirt / All I'm in is just skin," over and over while you do it over and over.

If country is more your vibe, Thomas Rhett's "Die A Happy Man" will take you from slow dancing to slow sexing before the track is over, guaranteed.

Every once in a while there comes a song so sweet, yet so sensual that you have to play it on loop for a while before you can move on to another. And that's how it was with this throwback. John sings the truth about not giving a damn about who sees you and your partner going at it in public and the thrill that comes with it, and it still holds up.

"Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)" by The Weeknd

Would any sex playlist be complete without some inspiration from Fifty Shades of Grey? This song gets into your veins and injects an immediate shot to your libido. Seriously, it works anytime, anywhere. All hail The Weeknd for taking us from zero to turned on with the click of a mouse.

This bop deserves special recognition because its six minutes long and doesn't let up at any point. Bey singing "Hold me 'til I scream for air to breathe / Don't wash me over until my well runs dry / Send all your sins all over me babe," is guaranteed to keep you going for a good while.

Oh, this seasoned gem? Yes, Marvin earned a spot because he works wonders before the action happens. He's all about singing you into the mood, so let him.

"3Way" by Teyana Taylor

When this comes on, stop what you're doing and add another person to the mix. Three's a party, right?

For good measure queue this track twice, if only to make sure your partner knows exactly how good they've got it by being with you. From a sultry croon, perfect for when things are starting, that builds to a funky beat which is sure to encourage stamina, "God Is A Woman" covers all the bases.

Kiss It Better by Rihanna

This steamy number from Rihanna about completely giving yourself to someone else with lines like "Do what you gotta do / Keep me up all night," is everything a playlist needs to take the night from sweet to sweaty.

Get your bodies moving in sync to this funky tune that's got a ton of soul shoved in throughout. It will become your soundtrack for those going-at-it-with-wild-abandon kinds of rendezvouses.

Take your time and settle in for some sensuous slow sex with Trey Songz. This simultaneously dirty and romantic, gritty and sensual song will turn up the heat on an already sweaty session between the sheets.

Bonus points if you dance to this song before getting it on and during. If you need tips, just watch the Bad Gal dancing to it, she was so good, they had to make two music videos .

For those rushed-but-satisfying encounters, Miguel's got you covered. The song's just long enough for him to serenade you with: "I just wanna quickie / No bite marks / No scratches / And no hickies," and, if you time it right, he'll finish right around the time you do.

Whether you're in an LDR or just spent a couple of days apart, get emotional with Sam Smith's "Stay With Me." Let's be real, his soulful voice is all you need.

WARNING: this is not the song to play if you're trying to keep things quiet.

Teyana's own passionate moans are nothing short of inspirational on this bop about getting your needs met when you just can't wait any longer.

Because being the center of attention can feel so good, blast this during every closed curtain affair when you want your partner to "focus" on pleasing you.

If there's one thing to know about this dynamic duo, it's that they're capable of rapping the hottest hype song which will boost your confidence before sex and power you back up when you feel the stamina leaving you. Nicki and Bey are here to reignite that fire and keep you going longer than you ever thought you could.

Demi's not one to beat around the bush, so when it came to creating the jam you want to dance and get it on to, she didn't disappoint. "You can touch me with slow hands / Speed it up, baby, make me sweat / Dreamland, take me there 'cause I want your sex," she sings. Totally absent of innuendo, this song is about stating exactly what you want and how fast.
