BlueBeyoncé32rank/position
Superstar Beyoncé, who continues to captivate the world with her overwhelming vocal prowess and performance.
Featured near the end of the surprise album Beyoncé she released in 2013 is this piece, which expresses her deep love for her daughter.
Centered on a gentle piano melody, it features the voice of her own daughter, Blue Ivy, and is a moving ballad that sings of devotion to the one she must protect.
In the visuals shot in Brazil, we see a softer expression of her as a mother—different from her onstage persona—conveying the warm bond between parent and child.
Even in uncertain times, having your child by your side makes you strong; this work portrays that universal motherly heart.
When you want to reaffirm your gratitude for your child, why not give it a listen?

Among the tracks on their 1996 debut album “Spice” was “Mama.” In the song, they express how, having grown from the days when they resented and clashed with their mothers, their teenage years now feel almost like a lie.
If you’re currently fighting with your mom, why not listen to this song and try making up?
MamaIl Divo34rank/position
Il Divo is a multinational group whose four voices—rooted in opera and pop—intertwine to captivate the world.
Among the songs that defined their early debut and earned overwhelming support from fans is “Mama.” Primarily in English with touches of Italian, the song’s structure is distinctive, delivering gratitude and profound love for one’s mother through grand harmonies.
It is included on the acclaimed 2004 album Il Divo and was also released as a single in May 2005.
The beautiful music video, filmed in Tropea, Italy, drew attention as well, and the song has become an essential staple of their live performances.
Why not listen to it when expressing thanks on Mother’s Day or during a quiet night when you want to think of someone dear?
To ZionLauryn Hill35rank/position
Rapper and singer Lauryn Hill, whose 1998 solo album “The Miseducation” sold 12 million copies worldwide and became a huge hit in Japan as well.
The “Zion” in the song’s title comes directly from the name of Lauryn Hill’s son, and the track is a moving piece that portrays her deep love for her firstborn and her resolve to become a mother.
It was also used at the time in a SONY commercial featuring Lauryn Hill, so many people may find that the soaring chorus line brings back memories of that era.
