In this work, we study the Regge-like spectra of excited singly heavy mesons by proposing a general Regge-like mass relation, in which the slope ratio 
between the radial and angular-momentum Regge trajectories is 
/2 and the hadron mass undergoes a shift including the heavy quark mass and an extra binding energy between heavy quark and strange anti-quark. The relation is successfully tested against the observed spin-averaged data of the singly heavy mesons in their radially and angularly excited states. Some new predictions are made for more excited heavy-light mesons and the discussion is given associated with the QCD string (flux tube) picture.
