B-A-B-YCarla Thomas
If you’re thinking of spending your 50th birthday watching a movie, I recommend the innovative car-action film Baby Driver.
There’s no doubt you’ll want to imitate the scene where the protagonist, Baby, introduces himself by saying, “B-A-B-Y, Baby.” I’m dedicating this track, which could be called the film’s theme song, to you.
True ColorsCyndi Lauper
When it comes to hit songs from the ’80s, her presence is indispensable.
Thanks to its lyrics, the song has also been embraced as an anthem for the LGBTQ rights movement.
For a 50th birthday, it might be nice to reminisce about your youth.
SeptemberEarth, Wind & Fire
Perfect for those born in September.
This is the piece gifted by a young Black man to a white, classical-music-loving billionaire on his birthday in the film “The Intouchables.” For a 50th birthday, it might be nice to host a home party inspired by that iconic scene from the movie.
Living For LoveMadonna
She, once lauded as an American sex symbol, was born in 1958 and is now in her fifties.
Even so, she remains active as the Queen of Pop, energetically pursuing projects such as directing films.
On her 50s birthdays, her powerful vocals—showing no signs of age—are sure to inspire courage.
HeroMariah Carey
For a 50th birthday, if you want to be swept away by the voice of a diva said to span seven octaves, how about this song? It was also the theme song for TBS’s PyeongChang Olympics coverage.
It’s an anthem that cheers you on as you add another year and continue through life.
Stay With Me ft. Mary J. BligeSam Smith
It made headlines as a duet by a new-and-old Grammy-winning duo.
Sam Smith’s delicate vocals and Mary J.
Blige’s soulful voice heighten the celebratory mood.
It’s the perfect track to listen to with someone special on a 50th birthday.
RentSeasons of Love
For musical fans.
This is the theme song from the masterpiece RENT.
“How do you measure a life?” For a birthday in your 50s, it’s perfect to go on a long-overdue date, just the two of you with your beloved partner.
It’s also the ideal song to look back on the year and reflect on life.
