Every couple deserves to have a first dance song that reflects their love story.
Most love songs are written from the perspective of a heterosexual couple which can make finding something inclusive and appropriate a difficult task. Whether you want something modern or classic, we’ve created a list of the best LGBTQ friendly first dance songs and songs which use gender-neutral pronouns. Love is love, after all.
Most of these songs are either written or recorded by LGBTQ+ artists, or are re-recorded classics (check out the album Universal Love if you want to hear more of these). The gender-neutral first dance songs use ‘you’ as the pronoun so they can work for every couple.
If you’d prefer to not have lyrics at all, we love Vitamin String Quartet’s album The Gay Wedding Collection – it’s full of string covers of the likes of Your Song, At Last and Like A Prayer, so all you need to do is press play as background music during your drinks reception or wedding breakfast.
We’ve made you a full Spotify playlist at the end. Enjoy finding your perfect first dance song!
