Moms are special people, so they deserve special treatment—especially on Mother’s Day! This list contains the top Mother’s Day songs. Because we believe that when words fail, music speaks—and it’s the perfect way to get into the spirit as you figure out how to make mom feel extra special.
Whether your mom is a fan of old-school rock, contemporary country, or soulful R&B, there’s a Mother’s Day song for her. The Shirelles’ “Mama Said,” a fun and catchy reminder of Mom’s rightness, are a great choice. Kacey Musgraves’ “Mother” is a touching song with meaningful lyrics. Carole King’s duet, “Where You Lead”, with her own daughter is a must-listen.
These mother-daughter songs are worth a place on your Mother’s Day playlist. Some of these songs will make your heart sing, others will make it make you smile and some might even make you cry. All that matters is that they are listened to together.
