Recommended Western songs to express gratitude & say thank you [2026] (21–30)
Thank You For The Good TimesOasis
Oasis is a special band.
They had a presence that seemed to absorb all the dissatisfaction drifting across the UK in the ’90s.
This song is packed with the matured musicality of Oasis’s later period.
They formed in Manchester, England in 1991 and disbanded in 2009.
As standard-bearers of the Britpop movement who carried on the tradition of classic British rock from bands like The Beatles and The Who, they are a beloved, national rock band of the UK.
ThankfulKelly Clarkson
This is a gentle R&B number by American singer-songwriter Kelly Clarkson.
It is also the title track from her debut album, released in 2003.
The album became a hit around the world and was certified Platinum in the United States and Canada.

Because You Loved MeCéline Dion
An emotional track that sings gratitude to the person who gave strength and inspiration.
Released by Celine Dion in 1996, it won a Grammy Award.
It was used in the film “Up Close & Personal” and was also nominated for an Academy Award.
Thank YouPentatonix
Pentatonix is an a cappella group that delivers overwhelming performances with their wide-ranging harmonies.
While many of their releases are cover songs, this time I’d like to highlight one of their originals.
“Thank You” is the only original track included on the album “We Need A Little Christmas,” and as the title suggests, it centers on the theme of gratitude.
The sections featuring piano and vocals rather than a cappella also stand out as a unique element among their works.
All Of The StarsEd Sheeran
Ed Sheeran, the hugely popular singer-songwriter—his ballads really hit you in the heart, don’t they? Among his many gems, the one I’d like to recommend today is All Of The Stars, which appears on the soundtrack of the film The Fault in Our Stars.
It’s a song about thinking of someone dear who’s far away, fighting off anxiety, and finding a way to live each day.
The slow tempo and steady drumbeat gently soothe the heart.
It’s especially recommended for couples in long-distance relationships or for those living away from their families.
Even when you’re apart, listening to this song together can make you feel that your hearts are still connected.
Good LifeG-Eazy & Kehlani
When you achieve something big, who’s the first person you want to tell? This is “Good Life,” a hugely popular lead single from the soundtrack of the film The Fate of the Furious.
It’s performed by singer Kehlani and rapper G-Eazy.
People who can push themselves not just for their own sake but for the sake of those they care about are strong, aren’t they? Rather than trying to prove the haters wrong, this is a song that makes you feel like you can do anything to find happiness with your close friends and family.
If I Ain’t Got YouAlicia Keys
It’s one of Alicia Keys’s best-known signature songs.
Translating the title gives you “If I Ain’t Got You,” and it’s the perfect song to listen to while thinking of someone special.
The theme running through the lyrics is that nothing else matters and nothing else is needed without you.
The piano intro, built on simple, repeating phrases, has the power to draw you instantly into the song’s world.
It’s a track that lets you revel in Alicia Keys’s powerful yet delicate, soulful vocals.
