It has been scientifically proven that music can stimulate our body�s natural feel-good chemicals (e.g. endorphins and oxytocin), helping to:
- manage stress
- express emotions
- enhance memory
- improve communication
- promote general wellness
- (wow, did you know this?) alleviate pain
In this digital age, we have no shortage of music apps to make up our favourite playlists for sports, relaxation or something we want to celebrate. Some apps are free of charge, but the more reliable and extensive libraries likely require a subscription fee or some in-app purchases.
If you are looking for additions to your playlist, check out what we have here in celebration of Mother�s Day and motherhood!
01 | Mom
by Meghan Trainor
Released: 2017
Best for: Reminding you to call your mom. (This song has an audio clip of the singer�s telecon with her mom.)
02 | Mother
by Sugarland
Released: 2018
Celebrating: The unconditional love from our mothers
03 | The One Thing
by Shakira
Released: 2014
Best for: Self-reminder about the wonderful things we have in life, including our spouse and kids
04 | What Mama Say
by Jason Mraz
Released: 2010
Best for: When we just need an upbeat song. Which happens to remind us to listen to our moms, no matter what they say.
05 | Mama�s Song
by Carrie Underwood
Released: 2009
Celebrating: The moment when daughters have to leave their mothers, to start their own families. (The singer�s mom appears in her MV.)
06 | The Best Day
by Taylor Swift
Released: 2008
Best for: Deciphering the hidden message within the lyrics. (Did you know, the singer has this in every song in the lyric book?)
07 | Thank You Mom
by Good Charlotte
Released: 2000
Celebrating: Our moms always being there, and the word of thanks we can�t say enough
08 | A Song for Mama
by Boyz II Men
Released: 1997
Celebrating: What all mothers do for their children
09 | Mama
by Spice Girls
Released: 1996
Best for: Recalling those difficulties getting along with our moms, when we were young and rebellious
10 | Your Mother Should Know
by The Beatles
Released: 1967
Celebrating: Peace between generations, despite differences. (Sheer classic!)
BONUS | Mamma Mia
by Abba
Released: 1975
One more track to top it off � though not exactly a song about or for mothers. The Italian phrase "Mamma Mia" literally means "My Mother", but is used to express surprise. Catchy tune, even if you are not from this era.
