Mother’s Day Songs in Western Music Ranking [2026] (71–80)
Somebody’s HeroJamie O’ Neal71rank/position
It’s a song by Australian country music artist Jamie O’Neal, released as a single in 2005.
The track is a tribute to mothers and women, and it reached No.
3 on the Hot Country Songs chart.
I Love My MommaSnoop Dogg72rank/position
Snoop Dogg, the hip-hop king representing the West Coast.
If you’re a true head, you already know this rapper.
He’s known as someone who values family deeply.
And that doesn’t just mean his crew or labelmates—it includes his real, blood-related family too.
In this track, he sings about his straightforward love for his mother.
Since the song incorporates R&B, if you only listen to the melody, it almost sounds like he’s serenading his mom.
My Mother & ILucy Dacus73rank/position
This song by American indie rock singer Lucy Dacus is about memories with her mother from childhood.
Its emotional guitar arpeggios, beautiful sonics, and gentle vocals are striking, and you’ll surely get drawn into its unique world.
Lucy studied film in college, but left to pursue music.
It’s perfect to play during an afternoon tea break or as background music while driving with your mom—you might find yourselves reminiscing about the past.
It’s an ideal song for expressing gratitude to your mother.
MomEarth, Wind & Fire74rank/position
This is a soulful number by the African American funk band Earth, Wind & Fire that sings of love for one’s mother.
Earth, Wind & Fire have won six Grammy Awards and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2000.
Released in 1972, the song reached No.
39 on Cashbox magazine’s Top R&B Songs chart.
The lyrics overflow with love for one’s mom—perhaps giving off a slightly mama’s-boy vibe—but the arrangement is so soulful that it’s a great choice as car BGM for anyone who wants to quietly express their appreciation to their mother.
Mother’s LoveCollective Soul75rank/position
A grunge-tinged rock tune celebrating love for one’s mother has arrived from Collective Soul.
Interweaving bluesy guitar riffs with emotional vocals, the track appears on the band’s 30th-anniversary album Here To Eternity, released in May 2024.
It expresses the joy and gratitude of being supported by a mother’s love, carried by a powerful sound.
It’s also a fan favorite live, so why not gift it as a Mother’s Day surprise? It’s perfect BGM for a drive with your mom, too.
100 BagsStormzy76rank/position
“100 Bags,” a track from British grime scene stalwart Stormzy’s 2017 album Gang Signs & Prayer.
Renowned for his lyrical talent and distinctive musical style, Stormzy lays bare his past and feelings for his family on this song as well.
In particular, his gratitude toward the mother who raised him as a single parent and his strong resolve to succeed in music to make her life easier leave a lasting impression.
Set to a sound that fuses grime and hip-hop, Stormzy’s emotions come through directly.
It’s a standout song that makes a great Mother’s Day gift and is recommended for anyone who values the bond between parent and child.
Mother you’ve been on my mindBob Dylan77rank/position
It’s sung about the girlfriend he was dating at the time.
However, in the lyrics he refers to her as “Mama.” He may have been overlapping the image of his mother and his girlfriend.
The line “Mama is always in my heart” suggests that she is no longer around, which allows us to read the song as a breakup song.
Because it hasn’t been included on many albums, it remains a hidden gem that’s still popular today.
I chose it as an unusual pick—a song about his mother.
