Somebody's Hero By Jamie O'Neal
Mothers deserve to be celebrated every single day, for they are the superheroes who don't wear capes but always protect their family no matter what.
"She's somebody's hero. A hero to her baby with a skinned-up knee, a little kiss is all she needs. The keeper of the Cheerios. The voice that brings Snow White to life, bedtime stories every night. And that smile lets her know, she's somebody's hero."
Because You Loved Me By Celine Dion
Is it even possible not to love a Celine Dion song? We've been a fan of her velvety voice since the Titanic days, and our hearts will forever go on singing her praise. How about dedicating our mums a sweet Dion track this Mother's Day?

What Mama Say (Life Is Good) By Jason Mraz
Is there a possibility of Jason Mraz and our mothers being in cahoots or something? I mean, how come he's telling us the same ol' things we've all grown up hearing time and time again, but they never really sank in? This song will definitely make your mama happy!
"Who do you think you are, you better behave, I gave you life, child I can take it away!"
Turn To You By Justin Bieber
