When it comes to marriage proposals, there are many ways to pop the question. But whether you pull an A. Rod and get down on one knee at the beach or channel your inner Prince Harry and propose over an engagement chicken, one thing is for certain: No proposal is complete without the perfect song.

Music has the power to instantly personalize a moment and romanticize a gesture (A.K.A. the formula for a one-of-a-kind proposal, right?). That's why one study analyzed over 60 Spotify proposal playlists to determine the 10 most popular engagement tunes of the moment. You probably won't be surprised by the tracks that made the list—we've even dubbed a few of them as some of the most romantic songs of all time.

However, while these are the most frequently played songs during engagements, you definitely aren't limited to this list! We recommend considering your favorite song as a couple or a tune that literally sings how you feel as the background music for such an exciting moment!

Use your proposal song for your first dance at your wedding for a full circle moment!

Ready to pop the question? Here are the top 10 songs to propose to, according to Spotify.
