17. Kisses Of Fire – Panos Mouzourakis

We get it, comic relief. The rendition is charming but pulled out our heartstrings the least of the chosen ABBA songs. But those baby blue eyes shot to #1 in our hearts.

16. Knowing Me, Knowing You – Jeremy Irvine, Lily James, Pierce Brosnan, Amanda Seyfried

This is where I want to start the 16-way-tie. This number gave us the main characters' feelings surrounding Donna. Our favorite thing this number gave us was the sweet father-daughter relationship Sophie and Sam have formed and we all want to believe Sam is the true dad to Sophie.

15. Name Of The Game – Lily James

Lily's channeling of Donna is so apparent in this scene and her giddiness for Sam as she's picking oranges makes us smile. But this song was sang by Amanda Seyfried on the first Mamma Mia! soundtrack and we felt like we were listening to it again + her heart is broken 2 minutes later.

14. One Of Us – Amanda Seyfried, Dominic Cooper

Sophie and Sky forever! Amanda Seyfried's voice is beautiful in every song she sings throughout the movie, but we definitely felt like she carried Dominic Cooper along in this. This bittersweet, heartfelt ballad gave us depth and the first of many emotional feelings in Here We Go Again, but we definitely missed the fun of "Lay All Your Love on Me."

13. I Wonder (Departure) – Lily James, Jessica Keenan Wynn, Alexa Davies

There's something so inspiring about Donna, Tanya and Rosie's friendship it is all about Girl Power and supporting every decision each of them makes. Donna's choice to tour the world and make some memories with the Dynamos' blessings proves that friends are forever.

12. Waterloo – Hugh Skinner, Lily James

Of all of Donna's lovers, Harry is arguably the least sexually charged of the 3. Hugh Skinner nails young Harry's kindness, gentleness, and possible homosexuality as a young adult perfectly in this over-the-top, fun, and charming rendition of "Waterloo" to lose his virginity to "the only girl he may ever love."

11. I Have A Dream – Lily James

Our favorite part of Mamma Mia! was Donna and Sophie's everlasting bond, "I Have A Dream" shows Donna and Sophie walking through the hotel from the beginning to it's new renovation. We can't help but feel the love and pride Sophie feels for her mom looking back on her dream of this hotel.

10. When I Kissed The Teacher – Lily James, Jessica Keenan Wynn, Alexa Davies, Celia Imrie

This scene gave us the young Donna, Tanya, and Rosie we all hoped for and proved the casting choices were absolutely spot on. Opening the movie with a fun number after revealing Donna has passed away seems impossible, but this number had us tapping our feet and falling in love with Lily James.

9. Angel Eyes – Christine Baranski, Julie Walters, Amanda Seyfried

Tanya and Rosie fill the missing motherly bond that Sophie needs the most. In this heartfelt scene, you can feel the daughterly love that Tanya and Rosie express to Sophie. Christine Baranski and Julie Waters command all the screen time as our two all time favorite "aunties" and we get more of Amanda Seyfried's beautiful vocals.

8. Mamma Mia – Lily James, Jessica Keenan Wynn, Alexa Davies

Best friends helping you through your heartbreak, there's nothing better. Lily James acapella opening of the beloved ABBA song gave us more of Donna and Dynamos that we love. The outfits and choreography is incredible. In our eyes, this number embodied all we love about Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.

7. Dancing Queen – Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgard, Amanda Seyfried, Christine Baranski, Julie Walters, Pierce Brosnan

Seeing our Sophie happy and smiling in the movie is what we've been waiting for! The turning point in the movie happens with this scene has the 5 older leads all lead everyone's favorite song. The scenery, love and energy in this song is and Sophie jumping into Sky's arms in the end is the icing on the ABBA cake.

6. Why Did It Have To Be Me? – Josh Dylan, Lily James, Hugh Skinner

Two words: Young. Bill. The sexual energy and playboy persona Josh Dylan brings to the character is what we needed to keep this movie so fun. The boat. The dancing. The pearl. Bill & Donna's chemistry has us putting this song on repeat waiting for a hot blonde to pick us up on the dock in their boat.

5. Super Trouper – Cher, Meryl Streep, Christine Baranski, Julie Walters, Pierce Brosnan, Colin Firth, Stellan Skarsgard, Andy Garcia, Amanda Seyfried, Dominic Cooper, Lily James, Jessica Keenan Wynn, Alexa Davies, Josh Dylan, Jeremy Irvine, Hugh Skinner

We're still wiping our tears by the time this fun number hit the screen. It wouldn't be a complete Mamma Mia! credit without the fun over-the-top costumes, glitter, and lights. The shots of the young characters dancing with their older countertops gave us all the feels. And Cher, of course.

4. Fernando – Cher, Andy Garcia

google images

Vocals and stage presence alone this would be our #1. Cher entering in on a helicopter, delivering one liners left & right, and singing Fernando on a balcony to her Latin lover embodies all of Mamma Mia! The fireworks at the end were what needed to end this showstopping number.

3. My Love, My Life – Amanda Seyfried, Lily James, Meryl Streep

google images

ALL. THE. FEELS. Meryl Streep's vocals and acting is felt through the screen. But Amanda Seyfried's presence is what had all of us pulling out our tissues. Her longing for her mother is what kept this movie going and seeing her in the chapel was the perfect ending to our favorite sweet mother-daughter relationship. We choke up just thinking about it.

2. Andante, Andante – Lily James

Lily James stand-out solo is without a doubt Andante, Andante. This ballad gives us the love that Donna felt for Sam throughout the years. Her voice is so sultry, sexy, and soft. This number proves ABBA has so many underrated songs we needed to hear. The montage of them walking along the beach is beyond romantic. And Yes, we 100% believe Sam is Sophie's father.

1. I’ve Been Waiting For You – Amanda Seyfried, Christine Baranski, Julie Walters

This is without a doubt our favorite song, scene, and moment in all of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again. We had the perfect amount of tears as this beautiful ballad was sung by Amanda Seyfried's impeccable voice. As Sophie is joined by her two motherly figures in the present, we are transported back to Donna giving birth to her. The emotion we feel as Donna holds her baby she's been waiting for embodies all of the beauty of motherhood that is the main message in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.
