First Dance Song Ideas
May 7, 2026
The first dance is a major moment. Choose a song that is meaningful to you as a couple.
Your first dance song should be personal. Think about your relationship. Was there a song playing when you first met? What song was playing during your first kiss? Look beyond the Top 40 wedding songs. Consider older classics by Etta James, Billie Holiday, or Frank Sinatra. For a modern couple, consider songs by Ed Sheeran, John Legend, or Adele. For a country couple, consider songs by Dan + Shay or Thomas Rhett. For a fun, upbeat dance, consider "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" or "Uptown Funk." Choreograph a dance if you want. Or just sway. The most important thing is that the song reflects your relationship.
