And I Love Her – The Beatles
While Paul McCartney stated in a 1984 interview that “And I Love Her” was not about anyone in particular, perhaps he was fibbing to spare the feelings of his then-wife Linda. When he wrote the song in the 1960’s, he was in a relationship with actress Jane Asher, for whom the song was more than likely written for.

In Your Eyes – Peter Gabriel
Peter Gabriel’s song “In Your Eyes” has roots in traditional African music. The song plays with the idea of being ambiguous and straddling the line between love of God and romantic love. The song is said to be written about actress Rosanna Arquette, and she even convinced Gabriel to have the song be included in the film Say Anything.
