This has been a go-to for me since high school. That beat, man. That gets me excited about getting ready.

Same here. I don't look for boys when I go out, scrubs or otherwise (I'm married to a sugar momma, I don't need no scrubs), but this song still puts a strut in my step.
8. Lady Gaga – Marry the Night
To be honest, any of Gaga's songs will make you feel like a queen as you're getting ready to walk out the door. This one's just my favorite.

Shakira just … god, I love her.
