15 Songs For When You Need A Confidence Boost

by Emily McClure

Feeling a little down and out? It's time for a confidence boost. Channel your inner diva, and focus on regaining your inner strength. There's no better way to do this than by listening to music. The power of music can work wonders on your inner psyche, and make you feel like a completely new woman. Nothing changes your mood quiet like a killer playlist. Something about hearing strong women croon about their confidence is just so empowering. Don't worry - there are hundreds of songs out there that will help you get your groove back.

It's always important to not get overwhelmed by a setback. Everyone has them. Even Beyoncé has an off day (or at least, that's what I tell myself). Don't let a bad situation psyche you out. You're a powerful woman. Let yourself roar! Channel your strength by listening to some confidence-building tunes. Soon you'll be wondering why you ever doubted yourself. Wondering what songs you need to add to your playlist? Here are a few of my favorite songs that always make me feel like a queen. So, pop on your headphones, and remind yourself of just how strong you really are. Dancing around the house: required. Pants: optional.

1. Beyoncé — "Diva"

Put your heels on, it's time to work.

2. Britney Spears — "Work B*tch"

Because we all need to be working towards that Lamborghini.

3. Lady Gaga — "Born This Way"

This song is literally loving yourself for all of your unique traits. Mother Monster is the queen of self-love.

4. Meredith Brooks — "B*tch"

Don't ever apologize for who you are. Own your sass.

"Dreams don't work unless you do."

Nothing is more empowering that saying you simply don't care, and moving on.

Have this song on repeat forever and always. It's so relaxing, and so empowering. India.Arie's voice is magical.

9. Maddie & Tae — "Girl In A Country Song"

"I ain't your tanned-leg, Juliet" is probably one of my favorite lyrics of all time.
