Songs you’ll hear at every wedding in 2026

Music at your wedding is essential. The vibe bringer, the vibe killer. It can make or break a party. But what are the songs you’ll hear at every wedding in 2026?

TikTok might be the starting point for Gen Z couples to start their wedding research, but it’s not just limited to styling, venues, and dresses. It goes beyond that, because trending sounds are also making their way onto every playlist. If it’s not Anxiety by Doechii it’s Sabrina Carpenter singing about Espresso that’s making us boogie (and being a bit of a brain worm).

Here are the TikTok trending songs that we’re expecting to hear at every wedding in 2026.

Ordinary – Alex Warren

Written for his wife, Ordinary by Alex Warren is the epitome of romance. Centering on the themes of how true love can “make life extraordinary”, his love song struck a chord in the hearts of many.

And it also caused the ultimate TikTok bridal trend of people practicing their walk down the aisle to this very song. Could there be a more perfect song suited to a wedding day? Perhaps not a dancefloor banger, but definitely one that conjures up all the feels.

Man I Need – Olivia Dean

“I kind of like it when you call me wonderful,” utters songbird Olivia Dean in her 2025 single Man I Need. The pop-soul song is catchy, cute, and gives us all the warm and fuzzies. From Olivia herself in an interview with Universal, she says the song is made for the dancefloor.

“Man I Need is a song about knowing how you deserve to be loved and not being afraid to ask for it. It’s forward, sexy, fun! It’s made for dancing!” Olivia exclaims. And who can blame her, this funky song has all the makings of a modern classic, and is guaranteed to get the girlies up and boogying.

End of Beginning – Djo

Known to most as Stranger Things’ Steve Harrington, Joe Kerry proves he’s more than just an on-screen icon with his music project, Djo. His track End of Beginning is a dreamy, synth-soaked ode to nostalgia.

It’s the kind of song that feels like a slow-motion moment from a movie. With its smooth vocals and reflective, romantic energy, it’s a perfect addition to a wedding playlist. Whether it’s played during cocktail hour, a first dance, or as the night winds down, End of Beginning brings that effortlessly cool, cinematic vibe that modern couples love.

Say Yes to Heaven – Lana Del Rey

The queen of romantic croon, Lana Del Rey has become a staple on wedding playlists for modern couples. And, we can see why. The vintage music has a timelessness to it, complemented by her voice so crystal clear and her loving and romantic lyrics.

Say Yes to Heaven’s ethereal vocals and heartfelt lyrics about surrendering to love, bring an otherworldly calm to any wedding playlist. Whether you use it for the aisle walk, first dance, or a quiet moment together later in the night.

Everything is Romantic – Charli XCX and Caroline Polachek

Brat may have been the album of 2024, but Carli XCX’s pop masterpiece isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. And, for couples with a bit of edge who love a party, Everything is Romantic is the ideal wedding song to get everyone on the dancefloor.

It’s a bold, modern choice for couples who want their wedding playlist to feel stylish, electric, and just a little unconventional.

Daisies – Justin Bieber

Soft, romantic, Justin Bieber is at the peak of pop sweetness in Daisies. With its stripped back production and soft, tender lyrics, there isn’t a wedding song more beautiful and intimate at the moment. About a love that blooms naturally, Daisies fits the wedding bill (and playlist) perfectly.

Beautiful Things – Benson Boone

An instant classic for modern romantic, Benson Boone’s voice and on-stage persona have drawn comparisons to the enigmatic Queen frontman, Freddy Mercury. And it’s with these dynamite vocals, Beautiful Things is the kind of song that makes everyone pause and listen.

With soaring moments and lyrics all about holding onto beautiful things that matter most, this song is ideal for the peak of the wedding. Bensoon Boone signature front flip, however? Leave that for the professionals! This dancefloor doesn’t need a victim!
