Yes, some of the best Country songs are about heartbreak. “Brokenheartsville,” “Jolene,” and “Neon Moon” can really make you feel something, BUT none of those songs will be included here because this is the ultimate country wedding songs collection! These are all songs about love! We’ve got you covered with 15 Country Music first dance songs for you and your boo. So get on your feet and get ready to move to some seriously well curated tunes.
01
Flatland Cavalry
“One I Want”
Honestly, I would steal this one for my own first dance. “One I Want” is about unequivocally and unconditionally loving someone and choosing them forever. This song is quite possibly the cutest thing in the whole world. What’s better for promising a life with someone? This song is guided by violin, so it’s perfect for a less choreographed dance that goes slowly.
“When it comes to uncertainty, I’ve never been more sure
Darling when it comes to you, I’ve never had a doubt
You’re the face of the woman in my dreams
I’ve been dreaming about”
02
Leon Bridges
“Beyond”
Basically any song by Leon Bridges is super appropriate for this dance, but “Beyond” is especially notable. It’s upbeat, it makes me want to cry every time I hear it because it is so tender, and it’s a medium tempo. If you want a little groove in your dance, this is it.
“Space and time in the afterlife
Will she have my kids? Will she be my wife?
She might just be my everything and beyond”
03
George Strait
“Check Yes or No”
We would not be doing the Country Music genre justice if we didn’t include the OG romantic, George Strait. This song is about meeting a girl when he is young and writing her a note telling her he likes her. He then gets into marrying her and growing old together while keeping the romance alive. This one is a classic crowd-pleaser. It’s a more moderate tempo, so it’s great for a slower dance.
“Do you love me? Do you wanna be my friend?
And if you do
Well then don’t be afraid to take me by the hand
If you want to
I think this is how love goes
Check yes or no”
04
Chris Stapleton
“Tennessee Whiskey”
Ok, obviously we had to include this one. This song is a little sexy and SUPER romantic. It’s slow and really speaks for itself so it’s perfect for holding your partner tight and not doing anything more than swaying (and maybe a big dip at the end with a kiss).
“You’re as smooth as Tennessee whiskey
You’re as sweet as strawberry wine
You’re as warm as a glass of brandy
And honey, I stay stoned on your love all the time”
05
Tyler Childers
“All Your’n”
Tyler Childers truly wears his heart on his sleeve when he writes songs about his wife. “All Your’n” is an honest declaration of complete love for another person. This song is a little faster and has some really fun piano. It would be easy to do a more elaborate romantic dance to this one.
“So I’ll love ya ’til my lungs give out
I ain’t lying
I’m all your’n and you’re all mine”
06
Rascal Flatts
“I Like The Sound of That”
This song talks about the little daily things that she does that make him fall in love and get excited to see her–listening to her sing in the shower, hearing the specific ringtone he has for her, and laughing all night long with her. This song is perfect if you want something sweet and light for your first dance that’s a little faster-paced.
“It’s a little too loud on the highway
I wanna pull back in your driveway
It’s way too quiet at my place
Wanna come on over, come on over”
07
Zach Bryan
“Sun to Me”
I think Zach Bryan has been stealing all of our country hearts lately. If you want something with slightly tormented, romantic lyrics, a rolling beat, and soft acoustic guitar, basically any of Zach Bryan’s love songs will do the trick.
“That the good Lord willin’, send you out my way
I’ve seen hard timеs, bad luck, all that in-between
Sweetest of the sunflowеrs, yeah, you’re the sun to me.”
08
Easton Corbin
“The Way Love Looks”
This song is another simple, sweet, pop-country one. Corbin sings about the simple pleasures of his relationship and how much he loves this girl. He mentions the little things that she does that he thinks are silly, but how it’s all perfect because he loves her. This song also has a great beat that’s easy to dance to.
“Sharin’ your deepest secrets
Baby, I’m tellin’ you
I like the way love looks
The way it looks on you”
09
Blake Shelton
“Honey Bee”
If you want something a little faster and upbeat but still tender, “Honey Bee” is your song. The lyrics talk about how well this couple complements each other. If you and your boo complete one another, this is the song for you. This song is not too deep and is great for swinging each other around the floor.
“You’ll be my sunny day
I’ll be your shade tree
You’ll be my honeysuckle
I’ll be your honey bee”
10
Kacey Musgraves
“Butterflies”
While Country is dominated by men, this love song comes from the perspective of a woman falling in love. The song is slow and sweet with that special Kacey Musgraves melancholy to it. It explains how this person came into her life and made it so much better, and how that person gives her butterflies. This song is totally cute and appropriate for a toned down dance with your boo.
“Now you’re liftin’ me up, ‘stead of holdin’ me down
Stealin’ my heart, ‘stead of stealin’ my crown
Untangled all the strings round my wings that were tied”
11
Parker McCollum
“All Day”
If you can’t marry Parker McCollum, then you may as well dance to one of his songs (google him if you don’t know who he is because you’ll get what I’m saying). This song is slow and happy, and you can hear how excited he is to be singing about this girl. Another relaxed song to sway to, this would be a great choice.
“Baby you can take my money
Just please don’t ever leave my side
It’s been all day
Feelin’ like I’m still on what I took last night”
12
Kenny Chesney
“Tip of My Tongue”
“Kenny Chesney” and “Country Music” are essentially synonymous at this point. This song is slow, tender, and a little sexy. and then breaks into a pretty explosive, passionate chorus. If you’re looking for a song that you can wow your guests with by breaking into a bigger dance after starting slow, this is a good one to consider.
“Girl believe me when I say it’s true
Nobody makes me feel the way you do
Well, I love you from the morning to the setting sun
Yeah, I can taste the ocean on the tip of my tongue”
13
Randy Travis
“Deeper Than the Holler”
Ok, this one is a totally sappy classic. If you want a crowd-pleaser that all the old people know that is genuinely really cute, this Randy Travis song is perfect. It’s slower and would be great with a sway or a more lively dance. This song pledges everlasting, deep love to the other person in a way that is so pure and innocent.
“My love is deeper than the holler
Stronger than the river
Higher than the pine trees growin’ tall upon the hill”
14
Twain
“Dear Mexico (Thank You for Joyce)”
This song sounds retro but is actually newer. If you are looking for something soft, romantic, and sweet, this song hits all those requirements. It’s slow but has a strong beat that carries through the song. Honestly, this song sounds like a big hug, which is what you should be doing while listening to it.
“Later, in the morning as the coffee cup is warming up my bed
Another book should lay beside my book, your head should lay beside my head
Once we dig in I can’t begin to remember what I meant to tell you
Dear Mexico, thank you for Joyce”
15
Charley Crockett
“I Am Not Afraid”
To round out the selection of the most romantic Country songs, here is quite possibly the most adorable of all. It’s classic, jaunty, upbeat, and very innocent. If you want something light and fast that describes true love, this song is just that.
“And darlin’
I am unafraid to
Not afraid to love you
I am not afraid”
