From songs written for the purpose of this very moment like Vitamin C’s 2000s era earworm “Graduation (Friends Forever),” to classics like Kool & The Gang’s “Celebration,” to melancholy yet optimistic numbers like Billie Eilish’s quarantine-era “my future,” to rocking tunes written for those who are wholeheartedly anti-school like Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out,” there’s something on this list that everyone is sure to enjoy. To get the party started, Billboard has rounded up 22 tracks that make great additions to any graduation playlist. It was released in 1972 on his second album Still Bill and has made its mark as the 208th on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. And before even getting a chance to catch your breath, it’s time to bust out the caps and gowns for pomp and circumstance, snatch that diploma you’ve worked so hard to get, say your farewells and, of course, celebrate. Calling on your siblings to lean on when you are not strong is the ultimate reason why this Bill Withers classic made it to this list. It’s a lot to take in - on top of prom and college decisions for high schoolers and job-hunting for higher ed students. Excitement, nervousness and at least a hint of sadness are just a few of many emotions that senior students feel as they prepare for the next chapter of their lives.Įven those who are not part of the class of 2023 can remember all the “lasts”: your last first day, last homecoming game, last spring break, last exam, and finally, the highly-anticipated last day of school. Your final year of school is nothing if not an emotional rollercoaster.
