Miranda
Lambert – Mama’s Broken Heart
Player rating: Adult (Lyric Video rating: Mom Approved)
Player rating: Adult (Lyric Video rating: Mom Approved)
Sometimes mom doesn't tell you what you want to hear, but what you need to hear. Miranda Lambert’s
country-rock song about mom basically telling her to “walk it off” is one that
everyone can relate to. Of course, this ain't Mama’s Broken Heart, but every
kid thinks they've got it tougher than their parents.
Taylor Swift

Player rating: Mom Approved
Player rating: Mom Approved
Before Taylor was
shaking it off and singing about blank spaces to write her ex’s names in, she
performed this song about fond childhood memories with her mom. The video
includes home movie footage of the Swifts, featuring Taylor spending “the best
day” with mommy.

The job of mom is to do her best to teach her children right from wrong and then send them off into the world and hope for the best. Carrie Underwood penned this track about cutting the apron strings and telling mommy dearest not to worry, that everything’s going to work out just fine.

Spice Girls – Mama
Player rating: Mom Approved
A classic look at the
mother-daughter relationship: teenage adolescence and rebellion giving way to
the realization that mom was right all along. This song may be from the late
90s, but the theme certainly hasn't gone out of style. Moms and adult daughters
everywhere know this story, always have, and always will!
Boyz II Men –
A Song For Mama
Player rating: PG
Player rating: PG
Boyz II Men proclaim
that mom will always be “the girl in my life”. A love song to mothers everywhere,
as the Boyz credit their mothers as the “driving force” behind them, thanking
mom for everything she’s done. Isn't that what Mother’s Day is all about?!
Backstreet
Boys – The Perfect Fan
Player rating: Mom Approved
Player rating: Mom Approved
The Backstreet Boys
named the perfect fan in 1999. No, it wasn't Cindy from school with the BSB trapper keeper, pencil case and shirt that had seen them in concert 3 times
this year already… it was mom! The Backstreet Boys know that the one fan that
will always cheer for you is good ol’ mom.
Beyoncé –
Ring Off
Player rating: PG
Player rating: PG
Beyoncé sings a song
for all the mothers who put up with dad for too long. The theme doesn't make
for the peppiest of tracks, but it’s a musically upbeat song for all those
single moms out there who had the courage to get themselves out of an abusive
relationship.
LL Cool J –
Mama Said Knock You Out
Player rating: Adult
Player rating: Adult
Most moms are usually
quick to tell kids to not resolve their problems with violence. LL Cool J’s mom
apparently isn’t “most moms”, as we find out in this early 90s rap anthem.
2 Pac – Dear
Mama
Player rating: Adult
Player rating: Adult
An adult Tupac Shakur looks
back on his childhood and stands in awe of how his mother managed to do it all.
The details are probably a little different between your life and 2 Pac’s, but
the theme is still the same, when you have that moment where you realize “wow,
my mom did a LOT!” 2 Pac knows what’s up!
Danzig –
Mother
Player rating: Adult
Player rating: Adult
The Misfits founder
performed this… alternative… look at Moms, warning them to not let her children
“walk my way”. Probably a good idea, not everyone can pull off the mesh shirt
and leather pants look. A 90’s classic for that rockin’ mom in your life.
