A couple’s first dance symbolizes the start of their life together. If you're looking for inspiration when planning your own nuptials, here are the most popular first dance songs in 2025.

Luxury jewelry website Diamonds Factory used The Playlist Miner to determine this information. The tool collects the top songs from the public Spotify playlists that match your search queries. For example, if you type “yoga” into The Playlist Miner’s search bar, the app will list the songs that appeared the most in playlists with “yoga” in the title. Researchers identified the top songs for this list by inputting “wedding playlist” and “first dance songs” into the site. This data was collected on January 16, 2025. 

According to Diamonds Factory, Elvis Presley’s “Can't Help Falling in Love” is played the most during newlyweds’ first dances. Next up is “All of Me” by John Legend, and rounding out the top four are two songs by Ed Sheeran. The British singer and songwriter’s “Perfect” captures the hearts of many couples.
