This year for Valentine's Day, Sweethearts is introducing all-new candy hearts with sayings inspired by classic love songs. While candy lovers will still be able to find conversation hearts with phrases like "BE MINE" and "HUG ME," they will now also see new sayings inspired by 21 songs from the 1950s to the present day. In this way, the brand appeals to a wide range of people across many generations.
Some of the new phrases include "LOVE SHAK," "SUMMR LOVIN" and "CRAZY NLUV," plus many more. Knowing that people need sweet moments now more than ever, the brand came up with the idea to reference heart-themed songs, since nothing brings about a smile like music—or a sweet treat.
