Well, it's officially 2017 and the start of a brand new year. Stressed about going back to school? Nervous about the upcoming inauguration? Trust me, you aren't alone. So why not unwind with some pick-me-up powerful girl power anthems? Just press play, put your fist in the air, and dance like no one's watching.
1. Run The World (Girls) - Beyoncê
Of COURSE this song is first on the list. This is the ultimate girl power anthem.
2. Girls Just Want To Have Fun - Cyndi Lauper
A classic, go-to kareoke song.
3. Don't Save Me - HAIM
Because we don't need a man, and we definitely don't need to be "saved".
4. This Is What Makes Us Girls - Lana Del Rey
It's all in the title of the song.
5. How To Be A Heartbreaker - Marina and The Diamonds
Who says girls can't be heartbreakers?
6. Feelin' Myself - Nicki Minaj and Beyoncê
The two queens of woman empowerment came together to give us this gem of an anthem.
7. I Don't Need a Man - The Pussycat Dolls
We're perfectly happy with being single.
8. Needed Me - Rihanna
"Didn't they tell you that I was a savage? Fuck your white horse and a carriage". Chills.
9. Don't Touch My Hair - Solange
Solange beautifully illustrates how problematic it is when white people ask to touch a women of color's hair. It's her hair, not yours, and she's owning it.
10. Independent Woman - Destiny's Child
Need I say more?
