Music and Mama are a great combination if put together. Have you ever thought about surprising your mom with some heartwarming and unexpected things? Is your mommy going bonkers over RiRi or Madonna?

Haven’t thought yet? If not, then jam up with me as you will be getting access to my very special ‘Mommy’s Playlist’. It has been years since I started piling on some of the most melodious tracks that hit my mom’s memories in my head. Yes, of course, I am not going to spill out my entire bean jar, but some of it can work.
So, here are some amazing tracks for your mom which are surely going to make her emotional. She is going to give you the tightest hug after listening to these songs. And yes, let me tell you that this dedication can be a perfect mother’s day gift for mommy dearest.
The Best Day – Taylor Swift
Who says that Taylor sings heartbroken and love songs only for boys. Because this song of hers proved that she loves her mommy way more than anyone. Taylor penned ‘The Best Day’ with an emotion of thanking her mommy for everything she has done. Like every other kid, Taylor made her mom cry with this song and a video that captured all her memories. You too, can do the same for your mommy. I guarantee you that this one works for sure.
Tu Kitni Acchi Hai – Lata Mangeshkar
This song dates back to eternity and will last forever. Sung by Lata Mangeshkar, this song has conquered each and every heart. It is a beautiful song which has is an adaptation from Mark Twain’s very famous song novel, ‘The Prince and The Pauper’. Instead of making her listen to this song, why don’t you sing it for her and make it more meaningful?
Hey Mama – Kanye West
Who would have ever thought that this full-of-attitude will also get choked on stage? Yes, while singing this song which he had made for his momma Donda made him cry. This guy had a knack for controversies we knew, but he also had a sweet little corner of emotions in it, we never knew.
The Wish – Bruce Springsteen
This Boss has never stepped back from showing the world his emotions and feelings in the form of songs or poetry. He wrote this song with his mother, Adele Springsteen in mind. But Mr Springsteen has made sure that not even a single person needs to cry while listening to the song, which is very clear in the song. Why make mommy cry, when she can still giggle with this song? Right!!!
Maa – Shankar Mahadevan
This song hit Gen Z when it was released. Not only did they cry but also realized that mummies are treasures for life. Whatever you do, wherever you go, this woman whom we call maa, mummy, ammi or mom, will keep waiting eagerly for you to come back home. This dedication will make her cry for sure, and yes, even you won’t be spared from teary eyes.
Turn To You – Justin Bieber
Just like Justin’s mom struggled to bring him up, our mothers also struggle every day to give their best so that we can be happy. The line ‘So when you’re lost, and you’re tired / When you’re broken in two / Let my love take you higher/’Cause I still turn to you‘ has hit me hard.
Lukka Chuppi – Lata Mangeshkar & AR. Rahman
These two voices are enough to get sunken in memories. Your mom is going to love this song and might be she will have a lot of memories to share with you. Get ready with a bowl of popcorn for listening to her stories.
Dedicating songs was my favorite game and gift since childhood. Psychologically, people love when they get to listen to songs which are dedicated to them by others. Maybe like mine, your mom will also love this very small yet meaningful gesture of love from her kiddos.
