The air is getting crisper, the mood is getting cozier… and cuffing season is upon us. In fact, there are more than 20,000 “cuffing season” related playlists on Spotify – featuring tracks like “Let Me Love You” by Mario, “My Boo” by Alicia Keys and Usher, “Sweater Weather” by The Neighbourhood, “Thinkin Bout You” by Frank Ocean, “Boo’d Up” by Ella Mai, “Love On The Brain” by Rihanna and “I Want You Around” by Snoh Aalegra.
