56 Female Empowerment Songs For International Women's Day 2024
There's nothing like finding a female empowerment anthem to put us in a good mood, and to help us feel like we can do anything. Not only does music affect our emotions, but we love that it's something that you can play when you're working, when you're prepping our Bridgerton Sunday brunch recipes, or when you need background noise during a spring cleaning session.
In honor of Women's History Month, we wanted to highlight some of the artists that we love, so we created an empowering playlist featuring 56 girl power anthems to listen to all day, every day.
Our criteria for adding songs to this playlist was fairly simple: they feature lyrics emphasizing confidence, independence, and ambition, and they make us feel empowered whenever we listen. Womanhood is a complicated and complex thing, and with songs that span decades, generations, and genres, this playlist starts to scratch at the surface of empowered female experiences. So put in your headphones and prepare to dance around your room because these 56 picks are too good to sit still!
