35 Best Late Songs – Songs With Late In The Title
Last Updated: June 14, 2023 | Written by Matthew Campbell (Editor of My Wedding Songs and wedding DJ)
Be Late For Something Day is celebrated every year on September 5th. Everyone is always late for some meeting or work at one point in their life. Here is a list of all the people who are fashionably late for most of their lives.
I wonder why they made September the month to be late for something. Is it because it’s the end of summer and the beginning of fall? Is it too late to vacation because the kids are back in school? Curiosity gets the best of us here as to the date.
If you have a song we should add, be sure to comment at the bottom of the page.
