This Is Love
Paul Anka
(Nostalgia · Jul 2026)
Those who cherish timeless romance find themselves drawn to this classic, which captures the warmth of genuine connection and devotion. The song resonates deeply with people revisiting meaningful relationships from their past, or those celebrating enduring love in their present. Listeners return to it as a reminder that true affection transcends trends and seasons, offering comfort in moments when the heart needs reassurance.
Nostalgia hits you first—that warm, aching pull toward a time when love felt simpler and more hopeful. It unlocks a tenderness in you, a longing for those quiet moments of closeness that the song keeps inviting you to imagine. You find yourself believing, just for a moment, that love might not be the impossible game everyone says it is.
You return to this song when you need to feel close to someone, whether they're beside you or far away. It finds you at moments when you're thinking about what it means to be vulnerable with another person, or when you're holding onto a memory that still has the power to move you. Some of you even share it with the people you love most—because if someone played this for you, you'd know exactly how they felt.
Anka's straightforward declaration of love lands differently than he likely intended—listeners don't hear a present-tense commitment but rather a memory of one, filtering the song through the amber glow of time. What he crafted as a universal love anthem became a vessel for people mourning versions of themselves they loved with, making nostalgia the true subject beneath his words.
