All of Me
The absolute crown jewel and one of the greatest declarations of love in modern pop. Dedicated to his wife Chrissy Teigen, this monumental piano ballad ('Cause all of me loves all of you') struck a universal chord, with billions of streams worldwide.
Ordinary People
His definitive artistic calling card and one of the most beautiful ballads ever made. With just his piano and his unfiltered, fragile voice, Legend dissects the painful reality of relationships: 'We're just ordinary people.'

Glory (with Common)

Used to Love U
His energetic debut single, made with Kanye West. The gospel-like piano and pumping hip-hop beats immediately set the tone for Legend's ability to seamlessly fuse traditional soul with modern beats.

Save Room
Built around a tasteful sample of Classics IV's Stormy. Legend mixes vintage '60s pop with modern R&B in a relaxed, highly melodic ode to keeping a place open in someone's heart.

Beauty and the Beast (with Ariana Grande)
His fairy-tale duet with Ariana Grande for the Disney blockbuster of the same name. The rich orchestrations and harmonious interplay between Legend's warm voice and Grande's crystal-clear soprano breathe new life into a classic melody.

Green Light (feat. André 3000)
A surprising, funky trip to the dance floor produced by will.i.am. The energetic horns, catchy bassline and a razor-sharp guest verse from OutKast legend André 3000 showed a completely different, festive side of Legend.

Love Me Now
A rousing, contemporary pop-soul track driven by pushing piano chords and a danceable beat. Legend sings about the need to love each other intensely in the now, precisely because the future is never guaranteed.
