What are some good songs for my Senior Solo?

At my studio, your senior year you get a solo at recital! so I’m trying to start thinking about what song I should do. I want a slowish song that is easy to dance too. I don’t want it to be about love or anything about guys and stuff. Something that has to do with growing up and moving on, and can easily be turned into a beautiful emotional lyrical dance. 

Thanks dancers!

xoxo Rae
