We all have those days where we are absolutely feeling ourselves. We are getting ready to go out, we get up in the morning and notice that six pack forming, or maybe everything is just going your way finally. The best part of those moments are having a banging playlist to get you to dance around the room and smile all day long.
1. I Love Me by Meghan Trainor
This is probably my favorite song ever. Not only are the lyrics empowering and happy but the beat is so catchy and makes you wanna do nothing but dance.
“They gon' say all kinds of things
They'll make jokes about my name
They gon' try to clip my wings, but I'm gon fly, I'm gon' fly
They'll try to play me like a game
I'll bet they're too scared of the fame
But I can see clear when looking at the mirror, saying God made me just right”
2. Sit Still, Look Pretty by Daya
An empowering, feminist song. Daya sings against the stereotype of women needing to dress up, be homemakers, put on makeup, and so on. She emphasizes that women push their own agenda and work for what they want in life, not what men want.
“That Snow White,
She did right,
In her life,
Had 7 men to do the chores,
'Cause that's not what a lady's for”
3. Lose My Mind by Brett Eldredge
I know not everybody is into country music but Brett’s voice is so smooth and sweet you can’t help but get goosebumps all over your body when he serenades you. Not to mention country music always has a beat that makes you wanna put on your dancing shoes.
“You put me on a roller coaster, fly me on a plane
You send me to another planet, get inside my brain
I knew right when I met you I would never be the same
But I let you take me over, girl, so I'm the one to blame, oh”
4. Work Out by J. Cole
Who can’t resist J. Cole singing to them? If you’re getting ready to head out for the night, putting on those sexy heels, and zipping up that new dress, this is the song to get you ready for a night of fun and mystique.
“Could you be my escort
Cause just like them two door Fords
Damn, they don't make 'em like you no more
Cole World, real Cole World
Them boys cool, me I'm on fire
Know what's on my mind, tryna see what's on yours tonight”
5. Imperfect Me by Boyce Avenue
As much as you might be feeling yourself in this moment, we all know we aren’t perfect.
But aren’t our imperfections what make us so damn amazing?
“Perfect love you'll never find
I love the flaws in your design
The imperfections that you see
And the scars of you and me
Are the truth of everything we're meant to be”
6. Just Like Fire by Pink
Pink has a great record for singing about rights, strength, and I mean she’s just awesome herself. No surprise she has made another amazing song that’ll get your confidence out the roof.
“Just like fire, burning up the way
If I can light the world up for just one day
Watch this madness, colorful charade
No one can be just like me any way”
7. Looking Up by SafetySuit
Finally ace that test, had an amazing date, your workouts are finally showing results, or you finally got the call back to go for the job of your dreams. This song is all about life going your way, cause that’s the only way it should go.
“It’s all in how you see it
Just a little bit of misdirection
Sometimes you gotta tell yourself that the best is to come and the worst times are gone
See some see a rain cloud and say, "no"
I see a crop about to grow”
8. Superpower by X Ambassadors
I’ve recently fallen in love with X Ambassadors and their latest album has some amazing songs. This is my favorite song to listen to walking around campus cause I feel invincible.
“But today I'm, I'm gonna superpower
It's a bird, it's a plane; Clark Kent, Bruce Wayne
I got that, I got that, I got that superpower”
9. Love Myself by Hailee Steinfeld
This song was on the top hits for awhile so I’m sure nothing more needs to be said.
“I'm gonna put my body first
And love me so hard 'til it hurts
I know how to scream out the words
Scream the words”
10. Undress Rehearsal by Timeflies
Now this is a little more sexual than I would like. I mean I’m all about self empowerment, inner beauty, work hard for what you want, and that these are the most important and attractive qualities in a person. But let’s face it, it is nice to get that little bit of sexiness in your day.
“Stop, let the credits roll
On star status, need a telescope
Magazines, that centerfold
All the dudes like, "She could get it though"”
11. Confident by Demi Lovato
Confidence truly is the most attractive quality about any person.
“It's time for me to take it
I'm the boss right now
Not gonna fake it
Not when you go down
'Cause this is my game
And you better come to play”
Now make your “Feeling Myself” playlist, blast that stereo as loud as it goes, and rock the town. Always remember, you are beautiful in each and every way and these songs are here to simply boost that confidence. Let’s face it, music can really get us going. Now go show em’ what you’re made of.
