All artists have muses, and who better to inspire a song than those closest to you?

From songs spotlighting brothers (like BTS’ “Begin”), sisters (like Mickey Guyton’s “Sister”), mothers (like 2Pac’s “Dear Mama” and Taylor Swift’s “The Best Day [Taylor’s Version]”), fathers (like Avicii’s “The Nights”), sons (like Adele’s “My Little Love”), daughters (like Stevie Wonder’s “Isn’t She Lovely” and John Mayer’s “Daughters”) and beyond, there are hundreds of tracks out there that pay tribute to the people you love. Even if it’s your friendships you cherish most, artists from Kanye West to Kenny Chesney have got you covered.

Whether you need some tunes to bust out at your next family reunion or want to show a loved one just how much you care, Billboard has rounded up the top 25 tracks that lay out the good, the bad and everything in between about familial relationships. Check out the list below.
