Songs about siblings, for brothers and sisters
27 songs · Updated 4 October 2026
Siblings are the only people who were there for the whole thing: the same house, the same parents, the same arguments about whose turn it was. Songs about that kind of bond are rarer than love songs, but the good ones are very good.
This list covers the songs written about brothers and sisters, songs for a family slideshow, songs to send each other, and the ones you all knew the words to as kids. Every one is a real recording, with a line on when to use it.

Or have a song written about all of you
The house you grew up in, the fights over the front seat, the things only you lot find funny. Tell us those stories and TunedForYou writes a song about your family, with every name in it.
One we made, to hear what it sounds like

For Emma From Jess
"We've been through thick and thin together Laughing, crying, whatever the weather Best friends forever and ever Happy birthday to my partner in crime..."
You tell us about them, we write and sing it, and you hear a preview before you decide.
To send each other
For a hard week, a move abroad or a birthday you cannot make.

How to choose
Pick for the whole group
If it is a slideshow for all of you, choose a song nobody will cringe at. Save the in-jokes for the group chat.
Ask your parents what they played
The record that was always on at home is often the one that unites everyone. One phone call can save an hour of searching.
Two songs beat one long one
For a ten-minute family montage, start upbeat for the childhood photos and switch to something slower for the recent ones.
Add a line of your own
A song on its own is nice. A song with "this was playing on the way to Grandma's every Christmas" is what people keep.
Questions people ask
What is the best song about siblings?
"We Are Family" by Sister Sledge and "He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother" by The Hollies are the best known. For something newer, "Brother" by NEEDTOBREATHE and "Hey Brother" by Avicii.
What song is good for a sibling slideshow?
"Our House" by Madness for an upbeat montage, "Photograph" by Ed Sheeran or "In My Life" by The Beatles for a gentler one. Around five seconds per photo means a four-minute song holds about fifty pictures.
What song can siblings dedicate to their parents?
"Teach Your Children" by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young or "Forever Young" by Rod Stewart, both lovely over family photos at an anniversary or a big birthday.
Is there a song for a sibling who lives far away?
"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" is the classic. "Home" by Phillip Phillips is a gentler choice for someone who has moved abroad.
Can I get a song written about my brother or sister?
Yes. TunedForYou writes a song from the stories you share, with their name and your memories in it. You hear a preview before you decide to keep it.
