100 Fantastic Songs About Friendship


We’ve compiled a big list of songs about friendship that includes songs for students as young as pre-K and as old as high school. From classics by the Beatles to more pop-based songs sung by the likes of Bruno Mars and Disney favorites, we’ve included them all! As a reminder, everyone has their own ideas about what’s appropriate to share with students, so always review songs ahead of time to see if they’re right for your classroom.

Incorporating music in the classroom has many benefits. There has been a big focus on social-emotional learning in recent years, and we think that music can help your students feel connected and understood. And songs about friendship can definitely foster a sense of community in the classroom.
