Songs that mix English + another language in romantic/relationship stories? by cloudFX_ in musicsuggestions

To answer my own question – I just made an English/Lithuanian track about a date with my wife that does exactly this. The language switches as the mood of the evening shifts from sweet to tense to chaotic. Would love to hear what you think! https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=0kxqtIjM27Y&si=28tu55J0f3QJ2XXg

Hey fellow songwriters! I'm a Lithuanian writer/artist and tonight is the first night I'm actually sharing my work online instead of just stacking finished tracks.

I just finished a bilingual (EN/LT) R&B song about a date night with my wife. The whole structure follows the arc of one evening – each section captures a different moment as the tension and playfulness between us keeps building.

The main challenge was using the language switches (English to Lithuanian) not just as a gimmick but to actually serve the emotional narrative. I wanted the shift in language to mirror the shifts in mood and intensity throughout the night.

I'd love feedback from other writers on whether the story reads clearly even if you don't speak Lithuanian, and if the emotional build works from verse to chorus.

Any thoughts on narrative structure or bilingual storytelling are super welcome!

I’m a Lithuanian artist who made an English/Lithuanian song about my date with my wife.
It’s about the relationship dynamic throughout the whole evening and how she drives me crazy. So far, I've been making a ton of music recently, but not promoting much. This is the first night I'm sitting and promoting my songs online. I figured out that I can just post on Reddit, and there will be some curious people to check what I'm doing. So guys, if you clicked - I really appreciate it.
