Our Favorite Father-Daughter Dance Song: “My Girl” by The Temptations
There’s something so effortlessly joyful about “My Girl”—and it’s no wonder it remains a top choice for weddings. The lyrics are simple and sweet (“I’ve got sunshine on a cloudy day…”), and the melody is instantly recognizable.
At The Barn at Poplar Springs, “My Girl” hits just right:
Imagine dancing together beneath the string lights and chandeliers.
Hear guests clapping along to the beat while you share one of the happiest moments of the night.
It’s classic. It’s fun. It’s full of love!
💞
More Heartfelt Song Ideas for Sentimental Moments
If “My Girl” isn’t your only contender, here are other popular picks for a more emotional father-daughter dance:
“My Little Girl” – Tim McGraw
A country favorite that’s always a tearjerker.
“I Loved Her First” – Heartland
A beautiful ballad from a father’s perspective.
“Forever Now” – Michael Bublé
Soft and emotional with a modern touch.
“Butterfly Kisses” – Bob Carlisle
A classic that never fails to bring the tissue box out.

Looking for Something Playful?
“My Girl” is the perfect bridge between sentimental and upbeat, but if you want to surprise your guests with a choreographed mashup, try starting with “My Girl” and blending into one of these:
“Can’t Stop the Feeling!” – Justin Timberlake
“Twist and Shout” – The Beatles
“Happy” – Pharrell Williams
This twist makes for a fun, crowd-pleasing moment during your reception.
