Whether it's from a daughter to her dad, or music celebrating father-son relationships, like Bruce Springsteen's "My Father's House," we have enough options to soundtrack your day together. Most of the songs here explicitly use words like "father" and "dad" in the lyrics, but others, such as Bruno Mars's "Count on Me," focus more broadly on the importance of being there for someone, as parents so often are. Tracks like Keith Urban's "Song for Dad" and Miley Cyrus's "I Learned From You" are moving records dedicated to the impact of fathers, while others like Chrisette Michelle's "Your Joy" and Stevie Wonder's "These Three Words" are perfect ways to show gratitude. (Think of it as a sentimental card that you don't have to write yourself.) These Father's Day songs are all sweet musical tributes that encapsulate the special relationship you share.
