Mother’s Day Songs in Western Music Ranking [2026] (71–80)
I’ll Always Love My MamaThe Intruders71rank/position
It’s a song by the American Philly soul group The Intruders, released in 1973.
It’s known overseas as a song often played on Mother’s Day.
Written by Philly soul pioneers Gamble & Huff, the song was inspired by Kenny Gamble’s mother.
MotherKacey Musgraves72rank/position
Accompanied by piano, this gentle vocal piece is a song by Kacey Musgraves, included on her 2018 album Golden Hour.
Kacey was nominated in four categories, including Female Vocalist of the Year, at the 48th Academy of Country Music Awards.
When she first started in country music, she was sometimes taken to local music festivals by her mother.
The lyrics reflect her longing for her mom, making it a perfect choice for wedding background music!
Mummy’s BoyWretch 3273rank/position
Mummy’s Boy is a track included on British rapper and singer-songwriter Wretch 32’s 2019 album Upon Reflection.
As the title suggests, it’s a song imbued with deep love for his mother.
I’m impressed by Wretch’s stance as he uses a powerful flow and lyrical writing to express the significance and influence of the important women in his life—especially his mother.
From pushing back against being mocked as a “mama’s boy” to praising his mother’s strength, it beautifully fuses hip-hop’s brand of masculinity with profound respect and affection for her.
It’s also a great song to play on Mother’s Day to express your appreciation.
In My Daughter’s EyesMartina McBride74rank/position
Martina McBride is active on the American country music scene.
Although she possesses a remarkable soprano voice, she’s known for songs with powerful messages.
“In My Daughter’s Eyes” is a moving track included on her 2003 album, Martina.
Written from a mother’s perspective as she gazes at her daughter, the lyrics overflow with deep love, and carried by McBride’s delicate vocals, they resonate in the listener’s heart.
It’s a classic ballad I highly recommend for expressing your gratitude on Mother’s Day.
Nobody Loves Me But My MotherB.B. King75rank/position
B.B.
King, who passed away in 2015, was a giant of the blues and ranked third on Rolling Stone’s list of the 100 greatest guitarists in history.
His soulful, weeping guitar and outstanding blues are the real deal.
This song he sings is about a man who’s been dumped by his girlfriend, saying that the only one who truly loves him is his mama.
