What are some first dance songs for 2025?

Answered by the UK Wedding Websites editorial team · Updated 2026-10-12

Short answer

For a 2025 first dance, consider current love songs from artists like Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, or Lewis Capaldi, but choose one that feels timeless to you.

For a 2025 wedding, you might want a song that feels current but will still mean something in years to come. Recent hits from artists like Ed Sheeran, Taylor Swift, and Lewis Capaldi often work well because they are emotional and well known. Think about songs released in the last year or two that you both love. You could also choose a classic song that has been covered recently, giving it a fresh feel. The key is to pick music that reflects your relationship, not just what is popular. Listen to the lyrics together and see if they match your story. Consider the tempo and how you want to dance. A slow ballad gives time for a gentle sway, while a mid-tempo song allows for more movement. You might also think about a song that has a special moment, like a key change or a chorus you love. If you want something unique, look for a lesser known track by an artist you admire. Check the song length and edit it if needed, so the dance does not drag. Remember that your guests will hear the song once, but you will remember it forever. Choose something that makes you both smile when you hear it later in life.
