1. Bad Girls by M.I.a

Your life is meant to be lived. You don't want to spend years going to work and school without making any time for fun. It's important to have some crazy memories that you'll be able to look back on when you're older. That's why you should give yourself permission to go out and get wild.

2. When I Grow up by the Pussycat Dolls

It's important for a woman to have aspirations. It doesn't matter if you want to be a pop star or an accountant. Either way, you need to believe that you're capable of accomplishing your dreams. Know that you can do anything that you set your mind to, just like The Pussycat Dolls did.

3. Flawless by Beyonce

Beyonce knows how a woman should live her life. She should balance her work, her relationships, and her friendships. Each part of life is equally as important, so don't spend too much time looking for a man when you could be enhancing your career or partying with your closest pals.

4. Bad Girl (at Night) by Dave Spoon

It can feel good to be bad. You don't always have to pretend to be a perfect little princess. We all have a wild side that we need to let lose every once in a while. As long as you don't break any laws or any hearts, then you might as well do what makes you happy. So go crazy, girl!

5. You Call Me a Bitch like It’s a Bad Thing by Halestorm

You might not be a fan of the "B" word, but women everywhere are trying to change the meaning of it. Instead of letting it be seen as an insult, it's transforming into a compliment. So if someone curses at you, don't assume that you did something wrong. Plenty of people call women that word, because they're able to take charge and take care of themselves. It's more of a good thing than a bad thing, so don't let it hurt you.

6. If You Got It, Flaunt It by Uma Thurman

You don't have to wear black leather in order to act like a badass. Someone like Ulla from The Producers is about as awesome as it gets, because she isn't afraid to flaunt her stuff. She knows that she's a beautiful woman and she's not afraid to say it. Follow her lead by believing that you're the most beautiful woman around.

7. Roman’s Revenge by Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj is the epitome of badass. If her lyrics don't pump you up, nothing will. Not only does she say whatever's on her mind, but she also dresses and acts however she wants. She's an inspiration to women everywhere and this song proves it.

These songs are the definition of girl power. What other empowering songs do you love to listen to to pump yourself up?
