Music is a soundtrack to our lives, marking significant moments—like the album you couldn’t stop playing in your teens or the song that reminded you of your first dance. But this playlist? It’s all about the real-life mom moments.
So grab your comfy leggings and prepare to blast some Mom Jams.
The Weeknd, “I Can’t Feel My Face”
Welcoming a new baby is nothing short of miraculous, but let’s be real—those sleepless nights can be rough. You’re navigating the overwhelming joy alongside the “What have we done?” feelings. Your friends with kids seem to have it all together, but remember, this phase won’t last forever. At least you have this tune to help you through those late-night lullabies.
Miley Cyrus, “Wrecking Ball”
Here’s a track that perfectly captures the chaos of parenting. Think of your tiny tornado of a toddler, joyfully destroying everything in their path—just like the visual chaos of this song. It’s all relatable, minus the awkward gyrations.
Beastie Boys, “Sabotage”
After finally getting the kids to bed, you walk into the kitchen only to discover a mountain of dirty dishes that you conveniently forgot. Time to don those rubber gloves and face the music (literally).
Pharrell Williams, “Happy”
Family outings often require a touch of enthusiasm, even if it’s a bit forced. Those moments in the car, or apple picking, can feel less than exciting. But when you crank up this feel-good anthem, you’ll find a way to bond over how much they dislike your public singing.
NSYNC, “Bye Bye Bye”
Sometimes, every mom needs a break. Since your life has revolved around a diaper bag rather than your purse, a little time for yourself is crucial. Whether it’s a weekend getaway or just a night alone, you’re ready to reclaim your independence.
Celine Dion, “All By Myself”
After a much-needed break, you find yourself missing the kids. Picture yourself in a hotel room, trying to enjoy your solitude while your heart longs for those little faces. You might even find yourself tapping on your phone to video call them, even if you’re supposed to be relaxing.
The Worst
While not a traditional song, it’s a tune you’ll be belting out during your teen’s angsty years. Make sure to project well so they can hear you through their closed bedroom door, drowning out their latest pop obsession.
Mariah Carey, “Always Be My Baby”
On your son’s wedding day, the nostalgia hits hard. You’ve put together a slideshow of his childhood moments and, of course, you didn’t bother to ask the bride for permission. You pull up to the venue only to realize you’re at the wrong address—classic mom move!
Justin Timberlake, “Can’t Stop the Feeling”
Imagine this: it’s a peaceful Sunday afternoon, and the house is miraculously quiet. Everyone is content, and you feel like you’re walking on eggshells to keep the tranquility. Then, the song comes on, and you can’t help but dance—only to awaken the chaos that follows.
Beyoncé, “Love On Top”
After a night out, you return home to find the house spotless. Did he actually clean? Where are the toys? You sneak in to kiss the sleeping kids, and in that moment, you realize how much your partner has stepped up.
These songs may not evoke the same feelings as those from your graduation, but they hold their own special place in your heart. One day, you might even get to turn off the kids’ music long enough to enjoy these tracks again.
