This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at LUM chapter.

With the worst holiday for any singleton coming up just around the corner, some of us need a reminder that being alone is never a bad thing. This Valentine’s Day it’s time to reclaim our fierceness and bad b*tch energy. Music is a powerful thing. It can help us express our feelings through lyrics and beats that are usually too hard to explain. The songs in this playlist will help reframe any loneliness that’ll be felt this holiday into the protagonist that you are and should be. Because at the end of the day you are a queen and no person or holiday will ever make you think otherwise. Each song is a little power pill that’ll take you out of any slump that you find yourself and revive your confident spirits. So wipe those tears, eat that chocolate, put on some sweatpants and shake what yo mama gave ya!
