With the release of his sixth studio album, “certified lover boy,” Drake dubbed himself the “certified lover boy” of the summer. The 21-track album launched at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and continues to smash streaming records. It features top 10 songs like “Way 2 Attractive,” “Girls Want Girls,” and “Fair Trade.” Drake’s new “loving boy” character, on the other hand, is nothing new. Since the beginning of his career, The Boy has been a love magnet.

Drake has been dubbed the “emotional rapper” who puts his heart on his sleeve because of his ability to merge R&B vocals with personal raps. He’s never been afraid to write love songs for any occasion. He’s worked in the music industry for nearly a decade, recording songs for the heartbroken.

So, in the midst of the Certified Lover Boy era, it seemed only natural to compile a list of his best love songs. Given that the majority of Drake’s discography is about love, it’s important laying out some ground rules for how this list was compiled. A love song does not have to be a ballad or a ’90s slow jam. There are some sad songs among the selections, but there is also some uplifting dancing music. The importance of the lyrics was considered when ranking the songs. Drake can be his own greatest enemy at times, so songs about his paranoia or unrequited love didn’t make the cut. Check out the list of Drake’s top love songs below without further ado.

  1. Find Your Love
  2. Best I Ever Had
  3. Girls Love Beyoncé
  4. A Night Off
  5. Come Thru
