Top English Songs In Focus, February 2026

I let go of everything I ever had
Cos I couldn’t give the love you deserved
By the Gunner you shouted ‘Oh my god’
It seemed churlish, but it’s what I was owed, I suppose
Every flagstone of this town bear our prints
And all the bars round here serve my ghosts and carcasses
I wish I knew these things when I was young
Cos now I’ve just grown so numb
We take whatever we can to get the reason back
So please don’t rein me in
 
Don’t rein me in
Please don’t rein me in
I’m working myself up to a nice warm bliss
All my memories of you ring like tinnitus
If I stop it’s just pain
Please don’t rein me in

(Olivia Verse)
There’s nothing brave in walking alone
Love in exile is nowhere to go so come on home
Don’t run away from my tenderness
You’re so afraid of that heart inside your chest
We were doing so well but you were scared to be held
Took the easiest way out
I see the tears of a man too proud to reach for a hand
Let my love keep you safe now
So please don’t

Don’t rein me in
Please don’t rein me in
Now I’m working myself up to a nice warm bliss
All my memories of you ring like tinnitus
If I stop it’s just pain
Please don’t rein me in

I’m stood here chewing everybody’s lugs off
Telling everybody how much I fucked it up
Telling everybody how much I fucked it up
Telling everybody but you, how much I fucked it up

Slow down
Don’t rein me in

Now I’m working myself up to a nice warm bliss
All my memories of you ring like tinnitus
If I stop it’s just pain
Please don’t rein me in

Now I’m working myself up to a nice warm bliss
All my memories of you ring like tinnitus
If I stop it’s just pain
Please don’t rein me in

I could be the twist
The one to make you stop
The icing on your cake
The cherry on the top
It’s heaven in my heart
And we could find you some space
I could be the world to you
The missing piece
That extra sentimental kind of chemistry
Some people make it hard
With me that isn’t the case
Cos I make it so easy to fall in love
So come give me a call
and we’ll fall into us
I’m the perfect mix of Saturday night
And the rest of your life
Anyone with a heart would agree
It’s so easy
To fall in love with
The way I do my hair
The way you make me laugh
The way we love to share
A walk in Central Park
I could be fresh air
Might be the girl of your dreams
There’s no need to hide
If you’re into me cos I’m into you
Quite intimately
And maybe one night could turn into three
Well I’m down to see
Cos I make it so easy to fall in love
So come give me a call
And we’ll fall into us
I’m the perfect mix of Saturday night
And the rest of your life
Anyone with a heart would agree
It’s so easy to fall in love with me

I'm freezing outside, I feel my skin tight
My coat is inside, but I look up at you
I tracked your plane ride for when you're in tonight
Tell me, when is the next time I'll run into you? (Oh)

You can be my American, ha, ha, ha, ha

Is it right? I don't know
Yet you're taking my control
Never been abroad before
Now I'm knocking through your door
But you're nice, so I'll stay
Never met a British girl, you say?
No one treats me this way
Are all boys out here the same?

What can I say? (Uh-huh) What can I do? (Uh-huh)
I'm tryna be the girl that you're talking to (uh, uh-huh)
And maybe you can be my American ha, ha boy
You can be my American ha, ha boy
Why can't you say that you want it too? (Uh-huh, uh-huh)

Are all boys out here the same?

I like being used 
It means i have a purpose 
It’s the little things you do 
At least you’re being earnest 
Oh maybe i'm too fragile 
But maybe you're too mean
I’ve never been real good at 
Deciphering things 

Let’s let fate decide 
Heads we go to yours 
Tails we go to mine 
You’re a bad idea 
But a real good time 

Oh and i’d be lying if i said i didn’t love it 
Cuz i do 
I'm a couple minutes out 
From relapsing into you 
Oh fuck it 
Baby i love it
I love it i love it i
I love it when we fight and i like it when you're mean 
We don't have to get into what that says about me 
Oh shut it 
Baby i love it 
I love it i love it i

I could tell you the truth 
But first you’ve gotta earn it 
Don’t gotta lasso the moon 
Just tell me that i’m perfect 
Oh maybe i’m too easy
But maybe you’re too hard
I’ve always been real good at 
Taking it too far 

Let’s let fate decide 
Heads we go to yours 
Tails we go to mine 
You’re a bad idea 
But a real good time 

Oh and i’d be lying if i said i didn’t love it 
Cuz i do 
I'm a couple minutes out 
From relapsing into you 
Oh fuck it 
Baby i love it
I love it i love it i
I love it when we fight and i like it when you're mean 
We don't have to get into what that says about me 
Oh shut it 
Baby i love it 
I love it i love it i

I’m a couple minutes out from relapsing 
Do you remember the last time this happened?
Baby relax, sometimes it happens
Baby relax, sometimes it happens 
I’m a couple minutes out from relapsing 
Is the key still under the mat? 
Can you imagine?
The last time this happened 
I- i i loved it 
I loved it i

I’d be lying if i said i didn’t love it 
Cuz i do 
I'm a couple minutes out 
From relapsing into you 
Oh fuck it 
I only love it 
Cause it’s you
