This one's another good aro/apothiro/antiro song

A great introvert/loner/recluse's anthem.

I'd rather hopefully win the current record-breaking lottery jackpot and use the winnings to:
- pay all my debts to my parents
- pay-off all of my family's loans and debts
- get my mother her dream car
- purchase the vacant lot next to our house
- renovate/remodel/repair the current house and expand and paint it using the purchased lot
- make an office for the family business
- invest in a food-based franchise(s)
- donate to our charities of choice
- get back to that weight-loss program that I abruptly stopped more than 4 years ago
- get a gym and yoga membership
- go back to therapy
- have me and everyone in my family get a general check-up
- fix and upgrade my grandparents' house (as promised to my late grandfather)
- have a new PC build that's up-to-date with the current hardwares in the market
- travel to Japan, Singapore, South Korea, Norway, Italy, France, Canada and Hong Kong as a family or alone
- watch my/our very first live Singapore Grand Prix (even better if it's in the Paddock Club)
- and split the remaining money equally with my family and put it in our respective savings
than get married.

New discoveries/realizations! I know I said the last time that it'll be the last, but the songs/memories/realizations keep on coming.
- The Lonely Island's Hugs (feat. Pharrell Williams)
- TLC's No Scrubs and Dear Lie

Okay. Three last songs. Assuming these can be aro (and ace)-themed based on the lyrics:
- Joji's Slow Dancing In the Dark
- Tina Turner's What's Love Got to Do With It?
- Good Charlotte's I Don't Wanna Be In Love (Dance Floor Anthem)

@karnzter many of your suggestions seems plays more like breakup songs to me than aromantic. Someone who have been in romantic love but their partner didn't treat them right. Maybe my mind interprets it different.
What you said is true. I went through a catfish/loss of trust/trauma/privacy-invasion/heartbreak years ago that triggered my repulsion, cynicism, anger and judgement against romance. Post Malone's Over Now is so harsh and angry it speaks to me.
Anything with a 'heartbreak-ish' theme speaks romance repulsion in my mind. It's like telling others that there's no such thing as a perfect romance/relationship/love, it's not a severe necessity/importance, counts as a word/tale of caution/warning and everything is just an unwanted public scandal waiting to happen.
Those songs I've listed are the kind that makes me sing out loud to shut out the amatonormativity and societal/media/social/cultural influence of romance all around me.

@karnzter I was only referring to the title. Since I don't speak French and didn't read the translation.
It's okay. It took me more than 6 or 7 years since I first listened to L'amour to find out that it wasn't a positive song about love at all ?

@Holmbo The translation made it a romance-repulsed/cynical song for me. Is it because of the 'strange sweet taste of my lovers' skins' part in the end? Or maybe the title? Just curious to know and wonder.
I just consider that part like 'kissing/making out and above-the-belt touchy-feely with a one-time date but never going all the way'.

I find Mariya Takeuchi's Plastic Love to also be considered an aro/apothiro song.
Maybe Joji's Yeah Right as well? At least for me, it is.
Hugh Laurie's I Hate a Man Like You is another suggestion.
