This may be controversial, because we know a lot of you absolutely adore romantic songs and their original artists… BUT hear us out. There are some utterly perfect cover songs for your First Dance that are better than the original and today we’re going to prove it to you!
The reason we’re looking at cover songs? Well, some songs were originally written to be upbeat and fun, but when slowed down and sung by a different artist, you get a completely different vibe that’s actually kinda perfect for a First Dance. Whether you’re after something slow and romantic, something a little more fun, or something in between, there’s something in this list for you!
