LET’S SING 2025: Play Together, Stay Together: The Joy of Games, Singing and Relationships

13^th February 2025: With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, Let’s Sing 2025 is just the place to start those romantic feelings through gaming and singing by boosting love hormones, deepen connections and even help mend broken hearts. 
 
Music might be the soundtrack to our lives, but it’s singing along that makes it personal, emotional and memorable. And when it comes to connection - whether on Valentine's Day, Galentine's or Palentine's - music, singing and playing together create the perfect recipe for shared joy. 
 
Dr Rachel Kowert, a leading psychologist and expert on the impact of gaming on relationships, explains how playful moments like these can help us bond. From belting out cheesy duets to laughing over epic gaming fails, it's these shared experiences that strengthen relationships, deepen trust, and spark lasting memories.  
 
Here are ten insights on how singing and gaming can shape your Valentine’s Day experience. 
 

1. Play is important at all ages! It brings joy to daily life, helps relieve stress and can bolster relationships by fostering empathy, trust, and intimacy. Whether it’s Valentine's Day with your partner or a Galentine's karaoke night, play helps us stay connected to the ones we love. 

2. Games give us the unique opportunity to turn tension into laughter (like when butchering a duet with your partner or best mate). Karaoke fails and offbeat harmonies make for some of the most joyful moments - perfect for any Palentine's gathering. 

3. Playing games together cultivates a sense of togetherness, making play a powerful tool for strengthening our relationships. Nothing says “bonding” like belting out love ballads (or break-up anthems) with your favourite people.  

4. Games connect us through shared experiences. Whether we are teaming up or competing with each other, these shared memories can spark trust and deepen intimacy with those we play with. And a spontaneous serenade can turn any Valentine's or Palentine's into a moment to remember.  

5. Singing together, with games like Let’s Sing, creates a playful opportunity to grow closer to the ones we love.  Because let’s be honest, the people that cheer you while you sing an off-key 80s power ballad are the real ones. That’s true love - or at least, true friendship.  

6. All work and no play is not the way! Doing something fun together, like playing a game, is a great way to break up daily routines with something silly and spontaneous. Even Cupid would approve of a duet or two to keep things fun and carefree.  

7. Couples who play together stay together! It is critical to keep playfulness in our relationships, not only to bring joy and laughter to the moment but to help build trust over time. Because if you can trust someone to listen to you sing karaoke, what can’t you trust them with?   

8. Laughter is not only the best medicine, it is a tool for bonding with those you care about. Because friendships aren’t just built on deep talks—they’re built on shared wins, epic fails, and all the laughs in between. Games - and particularly karaoke - are perfect for celebrating love, friendship, and everything in between, especially on Galentine’s or Palentine’s Day.  

9. Many of us lose opportunities for play as we get older. Games give us a rare chance to have fun with our friends in the room or across the globe. Music games bring even more joy, letting you share love songs, heartbreak anthems or guilty pleasures no matter the distance.  

10. Did you know that a sense of joy we get from playing together directly translates into physical and psychological benefits? Improved mood, closer relationships, and even a stronger immune system. There is so much joy to be had by just letting it go… into a plastic microphone singing your favourite pop ballad (whether alone or with friends).  

11. Some of the best inside jokes are ones about shared wins or losses. Games provide a space to create the kinds of memories that you’ll be laughing about for years. And nothing tops a legendary duet for future inside jokes—it’s karaoke gold.
