What makes a graduation song? No real answer of course…but it’s a song that you feel will be with you and your group through the rest of your life…a song, no matter the time and place, you can say “Yep, those were the days”…and yes, the songs should have a good dose of sappiness.

Spoiler: Boyz II Men might be the undisputed champions of Graduation songs.

Note: Drake’s “One Dance” might soon be near the top of this list.
