The best and worst lyrics from Demi Lovato's "Confident."

"Confident": A Lyrical Journey
Demi Lovato

If you really know me, you'd know that I am an insane fan of Demi Lovato. I've already bought a ticket for her next concert tour, I know all her songs, and I even photoshopped a picture of me and friends with her just for their birthdays. Recently, on October 16th to be exact, Demi released her album, entitled "Confident," and it has, thus far, changed my life. I'm going to rank all 13 songs on this album, but you should definitely be sure to listen to her whole album and find your favorites as well (disclaimer: they're all amazing)!

13. "Old Ways"
Worst Lyrics: "But if somebody tells me/I'll go back to my old ways/I'm gonna say no way/I'm out of the doorway/I'm hearin' them all say/I'll go back to my old ways/Not goin' back to my old ways"
Best Lyrics: "And I can't wait to sink my teeth in/And take another bite/And the best part about it/Is I'm the only who can do somethin' about it"

12. "Stars"
Worst Lyrics: "We're the only ones who can fight the Sun/We're forever young and we just begun"
Best Lyrics: "Knock 'em all out/ beat 'em like Rousey"

11. "Waitin for You"
Worst Lyrics: "You made shit personal/Talkin 'bout my bad habits/Man f*ck my bad habits"
Best Lyrics: "Knuckles out/And the guard in my mouth/When you're hungry for the next round"

10. "Mr. Hughes"
Worst Lyrics: "Now you're asking for a brand new start/But you're way too late and now I'm gone"
Best Lyrics: Chorus ("He's Mr. Hughes/And he's got the blues...")

9. "Lionheart"
Worst Lyrics: "And the strength I've found/Is in my veins"
Best Lyrics: "Your light is inside of me/ Like a raging roar/ Like an ocean born/ You're in my veins"

7/8. "Cool for the Summer"
Worst Lyrics: "Kiss one another/Die for each other"
Best Lyrics: "Got my mind on your body and your body on my mind/Got a taste for the cherry, I just need to take a bite"

7/8. "Confident"
Worst Lyrics: "I used to hold my freak back/Now I'm letting go"
Best Lyrics: "I make my own choice/Bitch, I run this show/So leave the lights on/No, you can't make me behave"

6. "Wildfire"
Worst Lyrics: "Baby tell me where you wanna run, run/Cause I’ve been burning like the morning sun"
Best Lyrics: "A kerosene beauty queen/Looking for her matchstick king/To burn in to my heart/Hand in to the flame/We could set the world ablaze cause"

5. "Kingdom Come"
Worst Lyrics: "Cross my heart like a bitter sweet tattoo" (contrary to popular belief, Iggy's rap verse isn't bad)
Best Lyrics: "Let it intertwine/Your hand in mine/And fill the empty space"

4. "Stone Cold"
Worst Lyrics: "You're dancing with her, while I'm staring at my phone"
Best Lyrics: "Know that I am, even if I/Can't understand, I'll take the pain/Give me the truth, me and my heart/We'll make it through/If happy is her, I'm happy for you"

3. "For You"
Worst Lyrics: "Reasons for my hope, all make me a big joke"
Best Lyrics: "How come/I stick around when I break down/I take the blows like a champion/ But I get nothing at all"

2. "Father"
Worst Lyrics: None, but I mark it down at #2 because it really gives me feels whenever I hear it
Best Lyrics: Chorus ("You did your best or did you?/Sometimes I think I hate you/ I'm sorry, dad, for feelin' this/I can't believe I'm sayin' it/I know you were a troubled man/I know you never got the chance/To be yourself, to be your best/I hope that Heaven's given you/A second chance")

1. "Yes"
Worst Lyrics: NONE AND I WANT THIS SONG TO BE PLAYED AT MY WEDDING
Best Lyrics: "And I can't promise that it's gonna be fine/Here I am if you're ready to try/Here's my tears when you tell me those words/Here's my life, for better or..."

So, this is my full list. And I really encourage you to listen to the whole album in its entirety, somewhere.

Honorable Cover: Yes, this isn't Demi's song, but she really killed it.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
