Mother’s Day Songs in Western Music Ranking [2026] (31–40)
MotherCharlie Puth36rank/position
Charlie Puth, an American artist who achieved worldwide fame with the theme song for the film Furious 7, released the 2019 single “Mother,” which, contrary to what the title might suggest, isn’t a song of gratitude.
Instead, it portrays a thrilling secret romance kept from one’s parents.
Beneath its breezy pop sound, the lyrics capture the heart-pounding feeling of “What if Mom finds out…?” Chad Smith of Red Hot Chili Peppers plays drums on the track, and his lively beat energizes the song.
It’s a playful tune that offers something a little different from an emotional ballad—well worth checking out.
Don’t Forget To Remember MeCarrie Underwood37rank/position
Carrie Underwood’s 2006 hit song “Don’t Forget to Remember Me.” This is its second appearance on the chart.
So she’s released two songs expressing gratitude to her mom, huh? (Haha.) She must really love her mother.
The lyrics capture the feelings of a daughter who turns 18, graduates high school, and starts living on her own, directed toward her mom.
The melody sounds a lot like “Mama’s Song,” so if you’re hearing it for the first time, it might be hard to tell them apart.
A Song For MamaBoyz II Men38rank/position
Boyz II Men, who produced multiple No.
1 hits on the U.S.
charts in the 1990s, are an American vocal group that helped define an era of R&B.
Their song “A Song For Mama” expresses heartfelt gratitude to mothers—for raising us, encouraging us, and teaching us.
March, which is also graduation season, is the perfect opportunity to share feelings and thanks that are hard to say in everyday life, isn’t it? Go ahead and let your feelings be known!
MotherPink Floyd39rank/position
“Mother” is said to be a key track on Pink Floyd’s 1979 epic concept album The Wall.
The song is written about a mother who, out of overwhelming love for her son, becomes overprotective, and about the resulting conflict.
Always on the RunLenny Kravitz40rank/position
Singer-songwriter Lenny Kravitz, whose genre-defying musicality has earned him high praise from hardcore music aficionados.
His style has elements reminiscent of Prince, and every track is crafted with a striking, distinctive character.
One of his classic songs about his mother is “Always on the Run.” It’s a unique piece featuring lyrics about a man who regrets not following his mother’s guidance, yet still feels deep gratitude toward her.

Two of UsLouis Tomlinson41rank/position
Two of Us, sung by One Direction member Louis Tomlinson, is a song dedicated to his mother, Johannah Deakin, who passed away from leukemia.
The scene where he leaves a message on an answering machine he knows no one will pick up offers a glimpse into Louis’s profound sorrow and heartbreak.
Yet the song isn’t purely sad; it also conveys a positive resolve to look forward and keep moving on.
When you have something important to say, don’t wait—say it while you can!
Hey MamaKanye West42rank/position
This is a heartwarming song that expresses straightforward gratitude to a mother—something that’s usually too embarrassing to say.
It’s included on the 2005 masterpiece Late Registration by hip-hop icon Kanye West.
The track embodies respect for his mother, Donda, who raised him on her own, along with a vow to repay her through his success.
He performed it in front of his mother on The Oprah Winfrey Show in 2005, moving many with their loving bond.
Even after her passing, he has continued to perform it live with great care, and it’s a song that stirs the heart every time you hear it.
Even those unfamiliar with hip-hop may find themselves in tears, thinking of their own mothers.
Consider sending it as a message of appreciation for Mother’s Day or a birthday.
