About Mother's Day production music

A season of gratitude, told in a few tender bars.

Mother's Day asks a piece of music to hold two things at once, gratitude and tenderness. A gentle piano line or a soft strings build says this is a moment of quiet love, while a warm acoustic guitar or a bright pop lift says this is a celebration. GMP Music licenses Mother's Day production music across that range, produced and recorded by accomplished composers in recording studios specifically for GMP Music.

Producers use it as sentimental background music for tribute and montage videos, heartfelt instrumental music for gift, flower, and jewelry commercials, emotional background music for healthcare and maternity brand films, and Mother's Day video music for restaurant brunch promos and community appreciation content. Nearly all of our titles include a theme version with full instrumentation, alternate versions with less instrumentation, edits at common broadcast lengths of 60, 30, 15, and stingers, and versions separated by sections or parts.

Licensing is clean and simple. The standard license covers almost everything, so the same track can run across broadcast, streaming, social, and event video for brands, schools, churches, and other organizations honoring the mothers in their community. The only exception is theatrical release, which requires an additional license. Every license includes master and publishing rights for the GMP-owned catalog, with clear documentation for your production.

Whether a project calls for quiet gratitude or a bright celebration, we are eager to assist you in your music search, to find just the right track that will represent your brand and vision for your media project.
