Not feeling too great about your body? Don’t worry, we’ve all been there. Modern beauty standards are pretty much impossible to fulfill which is why most of us feel insecure about our bodies at one point or another. Luckily, the body positivity movement is ever growing and nowadays, there are tons of songs you can listen to when you could really use some help with feeling better about yourself. Here are some of my favourite songs that talk about body positivity to lift you up on the days when loving yourself is a bit difficult.
- Born this way by Lady Gaga
I’m beautiful in my way ‘cause God makes no mistakes
I’m on the right track, baby I was born this way
Don’t hide yourself in regret just love yourself and you’re set
I’m on the right track, baby I was born this way
- Boys by Lizzo
I like big boys, itty bitty boys
Mississippi boys, inner city boys
I like the pretty boys with the bow tie
Get your nails did, let it blow dry
I like a big beard, I like a clean face
I don’t discriminate, come and get taste
From the playboys to the gay boys
Go and slay, boys, you my fave boys
- Scars to your beautiful by Alessia Cara
But there’s a hope that’s waiting for you in the dark
You should know you’re beautiful just the way you are
And you don’t have to change a thing
The world could change its heart
No scars to your beautiful, we’re stars and we’re beautiful
- Perfect by Pink
Pretty, pretty please don’t you ever, ever feel
Like you’re less than, less than perfect
Pretty, pretty please if you ever, ever feel
Like you’re nothing, you are perfect to me
- Beautiful by Christina Aguilera
I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can’t bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes words can’t bring me down
- Strip by Little Mix (feat. Sharaya J)
Take off all my make-up ’cause I love what’s under it
Rub off all your words, don’t give a uh, I’m over it
Jiggle all this weight, yeah you know I love all of this
Finally love me naked, sexiest when I’m confident
- Perfect to me by Anne-Marie
Don’t feel like putting makeup on my cheeks do what I wanna
Love every single part of my body top to the bottom
I’m not a supermodel from a magazine
I’m okay with not being perfect ’cause that’s perfect to me
- Good as hell by Lizzo
I do my hair toss
Check my nails
Baby how you feelin’?
Feeling good as hell
- Crooked smile by J. Cole (feat. TLC)
“They tell me I should fix my grill ’cause I got money now
I ain’t gon’ sit around and front like I ain’t thought about it
A perfect smile is more appealing but it’s funny how
My shit is crooked look at how far I done got without it
I keep my twisted grill, just to show them kids it’s real
We ain’t picture perfect but we worth the picture still”
- Sexy and I know it by LMFAO
I’m sexy and I know it
