Choosing a song for when mother and son unite to take over the dance floor at a wedding can be a tricky decision. You should choose a track that's sweet, but not overly sentimental. You don't want to make momma cry. If you ask us, it should be upbeat and suited for an easy two-step or a ballad appropriate for some slow swaying. What's great about this moment is it can be a little more creative beyond the perimeters of the usual father-daughter shindig. In fact, the special dance (which typically doesn't get as much love as the previously mentioned) can be a little bit more present-day than some go-to throwback tunes between father and daughter, and that's totally okay.
From contemporary choices like Adele's "Sweetest Devotion" and Kanye West's "Hey Mama" to the more classic picks such as Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" and Phil Collins' "You'll Be In My Heart," iHeartRadio has compiled a list of 19 tracks that might be worthy of your consideration if you're on the hunt for some music for the special mother-son moment.
