This 19-song mix, created in collaboration with our longtime pals at the app RockMyRun (the smartphone app that serves up 1,000s of DJ mixes), is designed to fire up your feet in a 5K race. And it’s also an homage to moms: Every song incorporates some version of the word “mother” in the title, the artist, or the lyrics.
We hope you’ll take this station for a spin this weekend (bonus points if you listen during a Mother’s Day 5K!). It clocks in at about 45 minutes, with songs by Beyoncé, The Black Eyed Peas, ABBA, Meghan Trainor, and more.

Here's the song list
Holiday: Madonna (Madonna. Get it?!)
Does Your Mama Know? Mark Dohner
Mama: Jonas Blue ft. William Singe
Mama Say: Betty Who (the Aussie artist I’ve now seen 2x in concert and can’t stop raving about!)
The One Thing: Shakira
Suga Mama: Beyoncé (Queen Bey celebrates pregnancy + motherhood like few other celebs)
Mother’s Little Helper: Rolling Stones (hey Mick, we choose to get our high naturally)
Hey Mama: The Black Eyed Peas
Mamacita: Tinie Tempah, WizKid
I Got It from My Mama: will.i.am
Mothers Talk: Tears for Fear
It Hurts Until It Doesn’t: Mothers (song title = a truism that applies to running, childbirth, parenting, ripping off a Band-Aid, you name it!)
Come to Mama: Lady Gaga
Mom: Meaghan Trainor ft. Kelli Trainor (how cool is it the artist’s own mother is featured on song?!)
Mamma Mia: ABBA (come on, we had to include this chestnut!)
Squeeze Box: The Who (a reminder sometimes mommas like to get sweaty in ways other than running!)
Mama Always Told Me: G-Eazy ft.Madison Love
Hey Mama: David Guetta ft. Nicki Minaj, Bebe Rexha & Afrojack (Finish strong: David Guetta is one of my all-time fave artists to include in a running playlist—especially when I’m gunning for the finish line!)
Hey Mama: Mat Kearney (This peppy pop song is certain to put a smile on your face.)
Fab playlist – I need to update mine. Been plodding to the sameone for six months now.
another awesome mix, Sarah! The AMR mixes are by far my favorites on RMR.
super sad Queen didn’t make the cut!
Awesome list of songs! Will give it a try this weekend
