Soft rock songs typically feature acoustic guitar, piano, and gentle rhythms, and focus on themes of love, relationships, and introspection. The genre reached its peak in the 1970s and continues to be popular today, with artists such as Adele, Ed Sheeran, and John Mayer drawing inspiration from its sound and style.
