I need some new ideas: What are some good songs for a playlist to fuck to? No cheese please. Thx!

My new fave is Meg Meyers, esp “Desire.”
Most (recent) Justin Timberlake songs are a good option. Also Touch my Body by Mariah Carey and most Beyonce songs.
Whatever the song it has to be chill for me to consider it and have a regular beat. Too fast or too slow and it throws off the mood. I love songs that are more melody than words. Don’t want to be distracted you know…
I certainly don’t have an actual “mix tape” or anything I literally put on before getting down to business these days, and I guess I don’t even have an actual running mental list, but the “I know it when I hear it” notion of a “fuck song” has been around for a while between myself and a couple friends (“Hear this? Oh yeah, that’s a fuck song.”). These two saucy covers do come to mind off the top of my head:

And heck, to go timely, can’t just about any Prince song be included here?
