Two of UsLouis Tomlinson
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!

MomMeghan Trainor ft. Kelli Trainor
This song by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor is filled with words of love for her mother throughout the lyrics.
It’s said that Meghan began composing music at the age of 13 using a computer her parents gave her.
With its pop melody, I think even Japanese listeners could sing it after a bit of practice.
It might feel a little embarrassing, but it could be nice to sing this song at karaoke in front of your mother on special days like Mother’s Day or Christmas!
Mama’s HandQueen Naija
A Detroit-born R&B singer and YouTuber, Queen Naija has a song whose lyrics are filled with love for her mother.
It’s a modernly arranged track, and you can tell how incredible Queen’s vocal ability is after just a few seconds.
Her name was given by her mother, reportedly inspired by her grandmother’s last name.
The lyrics, which cherish the mother who cared for her when she was young and promise to protect her, are deeply moving.
Perfect as background music for special occasions like Mother’s Day or weddings!
Don’t Forget To Remember MeCarrie Underwood
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.
