Top 5 Lizzo Songs for Your Self-Love Journey

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

I’ve been waiting for this one…turn it up!

If you’re as big of a Lizzo fan as I am, you’ll relate when I say that something about her music hits my confidence in all the perfect places. As a plus-sized woman myself, it’s so refreshing and inspiring to have someone whose body is similar to mine as an icon to look up to.

Lizzo is so radiantly beautiful, and she knows it. She has contagious self-love if I’ve ever seen it! Sometimes, I just need to take a break from all of the time, energy and hard work I’ve been putting into growing and loving myself, and jam out to some music that makes me feel like the powerful, beautiful woman that I am. 

Thankfully, Ms. Lizzo is mastering her self-love journey right alongside the rest of us, and knows just what medicine we need. Lizzo is the absolute queen of all things confidence, femininity and unapologetic self-love, and sometimes her music is the right therapy at the right time.

Check out my top five Lizzo songs that are sure to put you in the fiercest, sexiest and most confident of moods; maybe you’ll even find a new favorite!

5. Tempo

From the beat to the lyrics to the message, this song has it all. Body positivity meets strong and powerful, and I’m here for it every time. 

4. Good as hell

If you don’t know this song (you might be living under a rock), stop whatever you’re doing, and give it a listen. It has sass, it has candor and it has self-love pouring in from everywhere. There’s something about this one that makes me feel like the most beautiful woman on the planet. 

3. Juice

This song gives off “I’m at a party, feeling good, looking better” vibes. You can’t listen to it without singing along, and there’s something about it that just makes me feel like the prettiest girl in the world. 

2. Soulmate

Arguably one of the best self-love songs of all time, Lizzo absolutely crushes it by naming herself her own personal soulmate. It’s inspiring, and everytime I hear it I realize how perfect I am for myself! 

1. Like a girl

Anytime this song comes on, I immediately become the hottest, most powerful woman on the planet. Lizzo somehow puts into words just how strong, amazing and dynamic we all truly are. Doing something “like a girl” is the best possible way to get it done, and don’t you forget it! 

Self-love is a process and a journey that is never fully complete. One of the hardest, yet also beautiful, things about improving your relationship with yourself is that you must continue growing in order to keep up with your ever-changing self. Sometimes, this takes long, emotional conversations or self-pep talks. Other times, you may have to work around an issue for what feels like an eternity, and still remain seemingly stagnant despite the time and energy you’ve put in. It’s moments like these that feel so crushingly defeating that no discussion, therapy session or affirmation can scratch the itch in your brain that will make you feel good enough.

Luckily, Miss Lizzo has our backs, and she might just be growing right along with us!
