Do you want to feel confident as you walk to your next class? Do you wake up in the morning and you feel intimidated by everything around you? This article is for you. Sometimes all you need is a few songs to change your lingering walk into a strut. 

  1. Good As Hell – Lizzo: If the queen of being confident was not No.1 on this list, then who? Lizzo’s lyrics remind us constantly that we need to feel good about ourselves. From the way we look to the way we act, it is something that we should love about ourselves.
  2. Savage (ft. Beyonce) – Megan Thee Stallion: This song reminds people of the power they hold and why they should not care about what others think. Do you want to feel more like a badass? Stream this song.
  3. Don’t Stop Me – Queen: Since the ‘70s, Queen has given us legendary hits. I love this particular song because it makes me feel energetic and happy. It reminds me that I am a force to be reckoned with and nothing is going to stop me.
  4. Feeling Myself – Beyonce and Nicki Minaj: These two queens are no strangers to the empowerment anthem. They created this fun song to remind people to love who they are.
  5. Me, Myself and I – G-Eazy and Bebe Rexha: Over a relaxed pop beat, Bebe Rexha reminds us that you have you for life. Therefore, you are never alone.
  6. Shake It Off – Taylor Swift: You need to shake off negative thoughts? Taylor Swift reminds you to keep cruising and not stop moving. 
  7. Look At Her Now – Selena Gomez: Are you going through a rough patch, Selena Gomez shows us that there is nothing we cannot rise above.
  8. Unstoppable – SIA: The title of the song says it all. You are unstoppable!

I hope these songs make you feel like the badass person you are. You deserve good things and nothing less, be confident!

Hi there! I am a Mount Holyoke student who is an ABBA enthusiast. I love binge-watching multiple shows, eating cereal, and scrolling through Tiktok. I hope to have a collection of ABBA, The Beatles, and Queen merch before I am 21.
