Need some jams to play while you honor Mom this weekend? I’ve compiled a list of my top seven favorite songs to celebrate motherhood this Mother’s Day.
Add them to your playlist for a fancy Sunday brunch or a relaxing afternoon at home with the kids. I know they make my heart soar any day of the year.
7 Beautiful Songs to Celebrate Motherhood this Mother’s Day
Mom by Meghan Trainor (feat. Kelli Trainor)
This upbeat song will show your mom how you really feel about her.
You might have a mom, she might be the bomb, but ain’t nobody got a mom like mine. Her love’s ’til the end, she’s my best friend. Ain’t nobody got a mom like mine.
Slow Down by Nichole Nordeman
I’ve seen Nichole Nordeman perform Slow Down live twice now, but the recorded version still gets me every time.
I pointed to the sky and now you wanna fly. I am your biggest fan, I hope you know I am. But do you think you can somehow, slow down.
Old Oldsmobile by Jamie Lin Wilson
Old Oldsmobile is one of my favorite songs from Sealy girl, mom of three, and Texas Strong pal Jamie Lin Wilson.
Number three’s on the way, just found out yesterday.
Daughters by John Mayer
John Mayer’s Daughters is one of my favorite songs of all time. Enough said.
Fathers, be good to your daughters. Daughters will live like you do. Girls become lovers who turn into mothers, so mothers be good to your daughters, too.
Sweet By and By by Miranda Lambert
My Texas girl Miranda Lambert’s Sweet By and By speaks to my Southern, momma-missing heart.
Mama, I have not forgotten lessons learned under the light of a southern, starry sky. Family’s the light that guides us, blessed be the ties that bind us. Sweet by and by, sweet by and by.
Humble and Kind by Tim McGraw
Tim McGraw’s Humble and Kind is a beautiful song about honoring family and treating others with love and respect.
Go to church ’cause your momma says to. Visit grandpa every chance that you can. It won’t be a waste of time. Always stay humble and kind.
The Best Day (Taylor’s Version) by Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift’s The Best Day (Taylor’s Version) is a beautiful tribute to her mom. And it just might be my favorite song to celebrate motherhood this Mother’s Day. Another great one is Taylor Swift’s Never Grow Up (Taylor’s Version).
I know you were on my side
Even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
Staying back and watching me shine andI didn’t know if you knew
So I’m taking this chance to say
That I had the best day with you today
