1. Roar by Katy Perry
I am so happy this song has been all over the radio because it is one of the best empowering songs currently out there. Katy Perry perfectly puts into words the importance of standing for something and being firm in your opinions. When people try to put her down, she will come back with a “roar.” This is such an important thing to remind yourself when you need a pick me up. Don’t let people bring you down and make you feel small. And when they do, come back with your own roar.
2. Brave by Sara Bareilles
Going along the same lines as Katy Perry, Sara Barielles inspires her listeners to stand up for what they believe in. She wants them to “say what you want to say, and let the words fall out. Honestly, I want to see you be brave.” This song shows the importance that words can have when used properly.

6. Marchin on by OneRepublic
No matter what hardships you are facing, OneRepublic is here to tell you to keep “Marchin On.” We all face hardships. Imagine if we all gave up instead of marching on through them. I love this song not only for how upbeat it is, but because it reminds me to put “one foot right in front of the other” and keep marching on past my trials.
7. Raise Your Glass by Pink
This Pink anthem is for all the dorks, losers, nerds, and weirdos. Embrace your loser status and be proud! So what if you are not in “the cool crowd” or don't have the body of a model? Love yourself for who you are and “Raise Your Glass”
8. Who Says by Selena Gomez
Not only is this song perfect for getting ready to go out on the town, if you listen to the lyrics, they are pretty empowering. The entire song is about not letting anyone tell you that you are not beautiful or good enough. Selena Gomez wants her listeners to know that they are a “work of art” and that you don’t have to be a beauty queen; just be yourself. The most beautiful version of yourself is the version that stays true to who you are.
9. Hard out Here by Lilly Allen
I have always loved Lilly Allen and her contrast between her sweet voice and fierce topics. She is at it again in her newest song “Hard Out Here.” She basically makes fun of pop culture and its emphasis on women’s bodies over their brains. She says “you should probably lose some weight, cuz’ we can’t see your bones” and “you better be rich, or real good at cooking.” Her entire song is about how men objectify women and use them for their bodies and domestic skills. She uses her chorus to talk about how she is against that view, and therefore she is a “bitch.” And it may be “Hard Out Here” for a bitch, but she would rather be objective than be told she isn’t good enough.
