27 Top Songs For Your Niece

21. “LOUD” by Sofia Carson

Song Year: 2022

One of the newest songs you should play for your niece is “LOUD.” It starts off muted with lyrics about being more of a pacifist.

However, Carson soon comes out of her shell and decides she's ready to be loud. She's making that change, even if it might make others uncomfortable, and we can all take that lead.

22. “Hold On to Me” by Sofia Carson

Song Year: 2020

If your niece has a metaphorical wall around her, play her “Hold On to Me.” The lyrics talk about how you can hold on to Carson (or whoever) for support.

You can get over the feeling of drowning in life when you have people who love you. This is an excellent song to play if your niece seems to be shutting you out when you've been close before.

23. “Cover Girl” by Big Time Rush

Song Year: 2011

The guys of Big Time Rush sing “Cover Girl” on their TV show to a character Lucy, who's had to hide her true self from her parents. If your niece has had to hide something, play her this.

This song's lyrics talk about how you can be a cover girl without being perfect. You don't need to focus on the negative, and you can be pretty no matter who you are.

24. “What Makes You Beautiful” by One Direction

Song Year: 2011

A very similar song from another boy band is “What Makes You Beautiful.” If your niece is in her 20s, she probably knows this song, but play it for her anyway.

We could all use a reminder that we're beautiful. The song has a good vibe overall, so you and your niece can dance and sing along.

25. “Heart Vacancy” by The Wanted

Song Year: 2012

If your niece feels like she has to hide her feelings, she should hear “Heart Vacancy.” The song comes from yet another boy band, and the lyrics ask the listener to open up.

Now, the music video is a bit odd, so you can play that and simply listen. It's a slower song, but the lyrics remind us that we all need love, even if we don't express that need.

26. “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper

Song Year: 1983

Cyndi Lauper's “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” is a classic song to play for your niece. If you and your niece are about to go shopping, you can listen while you get ready.

The lyrics and instrumentals are upbeat and danceable. You can make this your theme song of sorts for whenever you and your niece spend time together.

27. “Ready, Set, Don't Go” by Billy Ray Cyrus

Song Year: 2007

Cyrus may have written “Ready, Set, Don't Go” for his daughter, but you can play it for your niece. This song is perfect for when your niece is growing up.

It has a slower pace, but the lyrics talk about supporting a girl and her dreams. You can use the song as part of a tribute to your niece, such as when she moves to college or a new city.
