Forewarned: Listening to these pop stars will make you lustful
Nothing increases libido like music, and we now know which songs are the greatest for getting down and dirty.
Music fans are spoiled for choice when it comes to curating a sensual playlist that strikes all the right notes, thanks to the abundance of seductive songs, flirtatious innuendo, and seductive music videos.
One popular song at a moment, musicians are pushing the boundaries of aural and visual sexiness. Whether you were put off by Sabrina Carpenter’s “camaraderie” in Bed Chem or found yourself squirming while seeing Jade Thirlwall’s edgy new music video, the possibilities are endless.
For those trying to discover the perfect formula to get the heart pounding and body grinding – a new study has tapped into all the elements that make someone turn the volume up.
And just maybe get turned on in the process.
After recent reports that more than half of people find music enhances their sexual desire, these pop stars might be the solution for those looking to get out of a dry spell or simply make a good time even better.
After looking at factors like tempo, key, and the influence of lyrics over our arousal and physiological responses, Reboot Online has whittled it down to 10 songs.
And post brat summer, it’s no surprise that rolling in at number 10 (not quite number one) is Charli XCX’s Von Dutch from her chart-topping album, with its ‘lively rhythm’ and ‘vibrant and engaging sound’.
And you probably wouldn’t go amiss slipping in a couple of other Charli hits alongside it like Guess and 360 for good measure.
Following hot on its heels is rock duo Black Pistol Fire’s 2017 song Speak of the Devil, a slower, more heavy-hitting, song with lyrics like ‘Just a bit of love keep you warm / Now we spoke tongue to tongue / Still you slowly watch me drown’.
Rihanna’s 2016 tune Kiss It Better rolls in at number eight and the title could even act as a suggestion for those looking to ramp up the action.
‘Listening to music can activate the parasympathetic nervous system, releasing calming hormones like serotonin, dopamine, and oxytocin.
‘This relaxed state increases blood flow and sensitivity, enhancing intimacy,’ multi-award winning sex and relationship coach Gemma Nice explained about why it makes something in our brain tick.
Sasha Lopez’s All My People, Usher’s Bad Girl, David Banner’s Play, and Celine Dion’s Set My Heart On Fire bulk up the middle of our countdown, coming in strong with lyrics about touching ourselves, each other, and places down there.
‘Music genres, especially those that are very slow and heavily reliant upon bass lines, will influence breath stoppages and heart rates to simulate what occurs naturally in the human body during sexual arousal,’ Marriage.com relationship expert Sylvia Smith said about the slower songs thrown into the mix.
Coming in third place is Lady, Touch Yourself from Nikki Idol packed with sultry lyrics to get the pulse racing with its themes of ‘themes of physical intimacy and personal interaction, enhancing its arousal-boosting properties.’
What are the top 10 sexiest songs – and their libido score?
Reboot Online also calculated the libido score for the most arousing songs combining the effect of the tempo (BPM), average pitch, intensity of song (loudness), keywords, and subjectivity (lyrical emotion) to hone in on a final score out of 100.
Von Dutch by Charli XCX, 130.8 BPM – 61.9/100
Speak of the Devil by Black Pistol Fire, 194.0 BPM – 62.5/1000
Kiss It Better by Rihanna, 95.3 BPM – 62.7/100
All My People by Sasha Lopez, 127.8 BPM – 62.9/100
Bad Girl by Usher, 175.8 BPM – 63.1/100
Play by David Banner, 95.3 BPM – 63.3/100
Set My Heart On Fire by Celine Dion, 119.7 BPM – 63.5/100
Lady, Touch Yourself by Nikki Idol, 170.5 BPM – 63.8/100
Good Feeling by Flo Rida 127.8 BPM – 64.0/100
HOT TO GO! by Chappell Roan, 140.6 BPM – 65.0/100
Flo Rida’s Good Feeling snatched up the second spot, with a BPM of 127.8 to align ‘ with the optimal range for stimulating natural body rhythms during intimacy.’
And finally… drumroll please… we have HOT TO GO!, Chappell Roan’s breakout song of the summer (alongside Good Luck Babe) that has some have touted as the next Y.M.C.A with its interactive chorus.
But when it comes down to it, its ’emotionally charged and evocative’ lyrics, vibrant ‘stimulating’ pitch, and ‘dynamic auditory experience’ blend all the ingredients needed for the sexiest song – according to the data.
So if you are looking for your new addiction then HOT TO GO!, which peaked at number seven in the UK charts, is the way forward.
What are you waiting for? Happy listening.
