50 Best Country Songs About Daughters (2024 With Videos)

For as long as there has been music, people have been inspired by and have written songs about their children. Songs about daughters are especially common because daughters just have a special place in the hearts of many country artists.

No matter if you are a mother who is feeling that maternal bond with her daughter or if you are a man who is protective of his little girl, having a daughter is sure to provide more than enough inspiration for at least one song about them. Some of these songs are cleverly disguised with figurative language, while others lay it on the line just as plain as can be. Whatever the case, country music is quite possibly leading the rest of the musical genres in maternal or paternal love towards their respecting daughters. Here is a great list of songs for you to enjoy. We also have a playlist on Spotify with all of the songs included here at the bottom of the page.

There can’t be anything in this life more painful than the experience of losing a child, especially for a mother. I can’t possibly imagine how painful that would be to carry a child for 9 months only to have to say goodbye, either forever or for a prolonged time. Perhaps the most emotional and heartbreaking song on this list, this song is about a mother who has to say goodbye to her daughter before she’s ready. The ballad was originally recorded for the soundtrack to the film The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, but was also included on Underwood’s album “Blown Away.”
