No matter if Dad has always been the number one man in your life or if your relationship has taken its twists and turns, it can be tough to put into words what he means to you. Good thing we have music! As Father’s Day nears, it's time to queue up a batch of the best Father’s Day songs to celebrate him. The best dad songs and tribute songs for dad are often a mix of emotion and humor, and these tunes hit the mark.
Some of the songs on our list, such as Camila Cabello’s “First Man,” are songs for Dad from a daughter, while others, like “Build Me a Daddy” by Luke Bryan, are songs about father and son. Our list also includes poignant (and catchy!) odes to the stepfathers in our lives, and two favorites on that front are “Color Him Father” by the Winstons and “He Didn’t Have to Be” by Brad Paisley.
As you gear up for Father’s Day this year, let this soundtrack guide your memories and your mood. Put on our playlist of the best songs about fathers while Dad opens Father’s Day gifts or while you’re having fun with a Father’s Day activity. You might even pull a lyric or two from a song you find particularly meaningful and write it in a Father’s Day card.
Now, on to our complete list of the best Father’s Day songs. This soundtrack can be enjoyed every day of the year your dad is a significant part of your life.
