You may just read through these lyrics and it will literally make you horny.

"Wow" — Zara Larsson ft. Sabrina Carpenter

If you want an upbeat anthem that will quite literally make your partner's jaw drop, hi, right this way. Sonically, it’s the singer’s most adventurous track to date, with its minor piano chords, reverberated and chopped vocals, menacing horns, and taunting synths giving her an edge that previously escaped her music. Larsson prowls through the song as she continues to excite both her partner and the listener, delivering stellar performance.

"Sweat" — Zayn

Some songs are better for more passionate sex? Yeah, that's right here, folks. This song is a sweaty ode to the physical activities that unfold in the bed with his partner. In the song, Zayn sings about getting physical with his partner, enchanted by her beauty. Well, that’s not all, it’s also about staying up all night with her in bed and satisfying their most primitive of needs. And this kind of passion does not manifest out of thin air.

"Often" — The Weeknd

The Weeknd leaves nothing to the imagination as he sings about his sexual exploits. He talks about how he has sex so often that he can’t keep count. The lyrics are explicit and descriptive, while he exudes confidence in himself and his abilities throughout the song. He doesn’t shy away from talking about his sexual exploits. That’s not all, he discusses all about how he communicates with his partner about what he wants and how he likes to be treated not afraid to ask for what he wants, and he encourages his partner to do the same.

“Love On the Brain” – Rihanna

Not that you need an explanation for wanting to (consensually) rip someone's clothes off, but Rihanna's here to give you one anyway must be love on the brain. Rihanna takes us to places in her world we've never been — both vocally and lyrically — in her sultry love song "Love on the Brain". The song may be about her abusive-yet-addictive relationship with Chris Brown. More importantly, it exposes a soulful, dynamic and lesser-heard side of Rihanna's voice that evokes the pain of tumultuous love in a way Rihanna never has before.
