Music can add a lot to an intimate moment, but what are some of the best beats to add to this playlist? Whether you like a fast beat or a slow one, here are 15 songs we recommend for every bedroom playlist.
YouTube
Ariana Grande has a lot of bangers and it’s hard to choose, but “Positions” should definitely be on your playlist. This song will encourage you to do just what the lyrics encourage — switch it up and explore different positions.

Matt Maeson has a sexy and sultry voice as it is, and I have to admit — I was introduced to this song in the bedroom, and since it was playing on my phone, I made a mental note to go back through the songs that had played to find it. Trust me. This song needs to be on your bedroom playlist.
This is a good hook-up bedroom song, and Tove Lo knows how to deliver. With lyrics like “touch me like you know when you’re doing when you don’t” and “let me be your guide when you eat my p*ssy out,” this song is definitely sexy and seductive.
Rihanna knows how to make a good pop song with romantic and sexually-charged lyrics ("S&M," anyone?). But she's also great with slower R&B songs, like "Kiss It Better." Add this song to your playlist and give it a listen here.
The third single off The Weeknd's album Starboy, we're in love with Party Monster. Why? It mixes up that slow, sexy beat from his earlier work with the more pop-oriented lyrics and style found on the album. Check out the official video here.
This classic 2013 song from Beyoncé is one of her hottest. Her husband Jay Z features halfway through the song, too. But it's really the slow, romantic, and arousing lyrics and beat from Beyoncé herself that make this song a favorite.
This classic hit off Kanye West's Graduation makes a great bedroom addition. The rapid beat and smooth tempo during Kanye's verses mix up the pace without going too fast. Check out the video here.
Looking for a slow, rock-based indie folk song to get you in the mood? This rugged, erotic song from Hoizer is perfect. Listen to it right here!
Tegan and Sara's music tends to be a bit too upbeat and fast for a proper bedroom playlist. But "Hang On to the Night" is the perfect balance on 2016's Love You to Death, providing that slower beat you need for a fun night together. Listen right here!
For every couple eager for a summer vacation, this hit from 2016 breakout artist Luna Shadows is a keeper for any playlist! Listen here.
Into something a bit more fast? This track is more like it! One of Gaga's more titillating songs, "LoveGame" has the kind of tempo and beat you need to keep the night going. Watch the original music video here.
There's a slow beat, and then there's a romantic and erotic beat. That's what Ciara's "Body Party" accomplishes. We recommend this 2013 hit for any romantic couple looking for something particularly intimate for their playlist. Listen to Ciara's hit here.
"All we do is fuck, drink, & sleep?" The perfect song if those lyrics describe you, too. Trey Songz's single is amazing for any bedroom playlist. Come listen right here.
M.I.A.'s famous duet featuring The Weeknd, "Sexodus" and "Exodus," are two close picks. Why "Sexodus" over "Exodus" then? Just listen to the background music; it builds the perfect soundscape for a night alone together. Catch the song here on YouTube.
And while we're at it, we might as well recommend the original song sampled by M.I.A., "Lonely Star." If you're a fan of The Weeknd's appearance on "Exodus" and "Sexodus," well...need we say more?
