What exactly makes this song a beautiful fit as a proposal song? The answer is straightforward enough: the upbeat ambiance and lyrics of the song.
Just the introduction of the song is enough to get the attention of the person you are proposing to. This is different from proposal songs requiring you to listen attentively to most of the words before understanding the meaning.
You will find out that your partner is blushing just at the introduction of the music. It is even more interesting because the lyrics of the introductory part were repeated several times during the chorus so that you can get your lover blushing all through the song.
To fully enjoy the enchanting effect, the environment matters as well. For example, a noisy atmosphere is not the best setting.
A serene setting, with beautiful decor and the music playing not too loudly but audible enough to grasp the words. BOOM! They’ll be yours forever.

Have I told you there's no one else above you
You fill my heart with gladness
Take away all my sadness
Ease my troubles, that's what you do."
