DEBUT SONGS
We’ve come up with a list of songs to be played on your 18th birthday party. There are songs that are self explanatory and those songs that need some insight. We have pasted their lyrics on a separate page together with some comments. We have commented on some songs as we deemed necessary, like what we think about a certain song, why it might be perfect to use for your debut party, and so on. We will be updating this page from time to time with more debut music as we add more songs to the list, which includes party background music, 18 roses songs, and the debutante’s entrance song.
