“I’m Yours”, “My Heart Will Go On”, and “I Will Always Love You”. These are just some songs that we usually hear on the radio. But for many couples, these songs have a special meaning to them; these are songs that define their relationship — couple-defining songs.

Intimate couples often have a special song or piece of music that plays an important role in their relationship, which they typically refer to as ‘our song’. These couple defining songs are very common in daily life, but we were surprised to find there had not been any research on this phenomenon. So we conducted the first scientific study about ‘our songs’ to try to understand how and why they exist and what purpose they serve in relationships.
The scientific study found out that 60% of the participants had a couple-defining song. Those with a couple-defining song also reported higher music appreciation, as well as higher relationship intimacy, compared to those couples who didn’t have one.
We know music contributes to our well-being in many ways, including reinforcing our identity and promoting social bonding. Our study shows that music is also important for romantic relationships in that it promotes intimacy and positive emotions, and reminds couples of important shared memories.
