The music you chose for your father to dance to is unique and represents your great connection with him. It might also be a personal message from your father, expressing your thanks for everything he has done for you. These are the finest father – daughter wedding dance songs, ranging from classic and sentimental father-daughter dance songs to lively and creative father-daughter dance songs.

If you and your father were fans of the Disney film Tarzan, this song might be ideal for a father-daughter dance. The words “My arms will embrace you, Keep you safe and warm, This tie between us, Can’t be broken” represent your father’s relationship with you, in which he will always be there for you no matter what happens.

MY GIRL – THE TEMPTATIONS
This Motown classic from The Temptations is our best selection if you know you’ll be emotional and want to prevent another tearjerker. The words are simple and nice, yet they portray a lovely father-daughter bond. It has a faster tempo, so your father and you can have a good time on the dance floor, and your friends can sing along.
DANCE WITH MY DAUGHTER – JASON BLAINE
It’s a father’s letter to his daughter. It’s about a father who wants to spend as much time with his daughter as possible, knowing that he’ll have to let her go one day. “Spin her around beneath the lights, Cause I’m just a father, Making the most of this moment in time, Before she lets me go, I’ll hug her tight,” the lyrics brilliantly reflect a parent’s sentiments. So prepare for an emotional daddy-daughter dance as he performs this song to you.
I’LL BE YOUR MAN – ZAC BROWN
Zac Brown, a father of four daughters, created this song when he found out he was expecting a child.
HERE FOR YOU – NEIL YOUNG
Neil Young composed this song for his daughter, who was 21 years old and in her final year of college at the time. “When your summer days come tumbling down, And you find yourself alone, Just close your eyes, and I’ll be there,” the lyrics say, referring to a father’s constant presence in his daughter’s life. Neil also sings of how much he misses her but refuses to keep her down, stating, “Yes, I’d miss you, But I never want to hold you down,” instead of promising always to be waiting for her with open arms whenever she comes to him.
This song is about a father’s unconditional love for his daughter, never pressuring but embracing.
HALF THE MAN – JENNIFER SMESTAD
This song could be the best music for your father-daughter wedding song if your father were genuinely your idol. Jennifer talks about her father, who set a high standard for her future husband since he was a genuinely outstanding father.
FOREVER NOW – MICHAEL BUBLE
