Whether you\u2019re gearing up for a job interview or just getting ready for another day, the right song can be exactly what you need to remind you who you are and what you\u2019re capable of.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, with <\/span>International Women\u2019s Day<\/span><\/a> on the horizon, we thought it was the perfect time to round up some of the very best girl power songs out there. Handpicked by our brilliant independent creators, these are the songs that they turn to when they need a boost (or maybe just a dramatic solo kitchen dance break).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

They\u2019ve been busy designing a bunch of female empowerment cards too, perfect for hyping up your best mate or letting your mum know just how amazing she is:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And if you\u2019re lucky enough to know multiple marvellous women, our <\/span>love & friendship card packs<\/span><\/a> allow you to spread appreciation far and wide. Right then, with all that out of the way, it\u2019s time to dive into our empowering songs for women playlist. Ahem\u2026 cue the music!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a01. Man! I Feel Like a Woman! – Shania Twain<\/span><\/h2>\n

Starting off strong, we have Shania Twain\u2019s 1997 chart-topper, <\/span>Man! I Feel Like a Woman! <\/span><\/em>Perfect for a confidence boost or a sing song with your mates before a night out, this is a must-add track to your playlist.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Evan from<\/span> Evannave<\/strong><\/a> says that it gives that \u2018spin-around-the-dancefloor, who-cares-what-anyone-else-thinks\u2019 kind of feeling, and honestly, we couldn\u2019t agree more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a02. Unwritten – Natasha Bedingfield<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another pick from Evan, <\/span>Unwritten<\/span><\/em> by Natasha Bedingfield, is basically a pep talk set to a catchy pop tune. Ideal if you\u2019re feeling a little lost, it\u2019s an anthem about personal empowerment, embracing the unknown, and remembering to feel excited about what\u2019s to come.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a03. King – Florence and the Machine<\/span><\/h2>\n

Next up we have a favourite of Jo Segurola from <\/span>Wild Card<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>King<\/span><\/em> is an anti-patriarchal song about artistic ambitions and challenging expectations. It\u2019s the kind of track that reminds you to go after what you want unapologetically, and never let anyone tell you what you should and shouldn\u2019t be.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a04. Respect – Aretha Franklin<\/span><\/h2>\n

Kasia from <\/span>Kasia Cards<\/span><\/a> chose <\/span>Respect<\/span><\/em>, saying \u201cit\u2019s a forever classic that makes you feel about 10 feet tall\u201d. A fiery and empowering track, it was released in 1967 and became an anthem for both the Civil Rights and feminist movements. Today, it\u2019s still as bold and inspiring.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a05. Flowers – Miley Cyrus<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another pick from Kasia is <\/span>Flowers<\/span><\/em> by Miley Cyrus, a modern self-love banger. This song is the perfect reminder to choose yourself, celebrate yourself, and maybe even buy yourself a bunch of flowers from the shop every now and then. Go on, you deserve it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a06. All Too Well (10 Minute Version) from the Vault (Taylor’s Version) – Taylor Swift<\/span><\/h2>\n

Next is Taylor Swift\u2019s gut-wrenching autumnal anthem <\/span>All Too Well (<\/span><\/em>best screamed thinking about anyone who\u2019s ever done you wrong). Chosen by Ruthie from<\/span> Ohverlee HQ<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> it\u2019s a heartbreak track that brings up all the emotions, while still leaving you feeling empowered.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We couldn\u2019t not mention Taylor\u2019s <\/span>The Man<\/span><\/em> here too, a clever, upbeat critique of double standards. While <\/span>All Too Well<\/span><\/em> will leave you weeping, <\/span>The Man<\/span><\/em> will have you singing at the top of your lungs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a07. Dancing Queen – ABBA<\/span><\/h2>\n

Another track suggested by Ruthie is ABBA\u2019s <\/span>Dancing Queen. <\/span><\/em>This song offers a feel-good, euphoric dance-with-your-best-mates-in-the-kitchen kind of vibe that never fails to cheer you up. Mums love it, grandmas love it, we love it, literally everyone loves it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a08. Break My Soul – Beyonc\u00e9<\/span><\/h2>\n

Stormy Knight<\/span><\/a> chose Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s <\/span>Break My Soul,<\/span><\/em> a song that\u2019s all about making your own foundations and finding independence. Whether you\u2019re tackling work, a workout, or just Monday morning, it leaves you ready to take on anything.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You could throw on almost any Beyonc\u00e9 song and end up feeling empowered. We\u2019re thinking <\/span>Run the World (Girls),<\/span><\/em> Formation<\/span><\/em>, <\/span>Freedom<\/span><\/em>, and <\/span>Irreplaceable<\/span><\/em>, just to name a few.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a09. Spice Up Your Life \u2013 Spice Girls<\/span><\/h2>\n

Jen from <\/span>Studio27eleven<\/span><\/a> went with <\/span>Spice Up Your Life<\/span><\/em>, bringing all the nineties girl power vibes we\u2019ve been missing from our playlist. A classic coming-of-age song to sing in your bedroom, this one\u2019s pure, unfiltered joy packed with tons of nostalgia.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a010. Who Do You Think You Are? – Spice Girls<\/span><\/h2>\n

Go on then, let\u2019s throw another Spice Girls track in to round things off. For Lucy Nicholson from <\/span>Lucy Maggie Designs<\/span><\/a>, this is the one song that can always lift her up when she\u2019s feeling down. With its infectious energy and fun lyrics, it\u2019s one of those that you can\u2019t help but dance along to.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And there we have it, a bunch of female empowerment songs to inspire you! Of course, there are thousands more songs out there, from breakup bangers to confidence-boosting classics, and this is just a handful of the ones we love. Think of it as your starting point, then add all your favourite songs about strong women to make it unique to you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking to keep the energy going, dip into these <\/span>girl power quotes<\/span><\/a> for an extra dose of inspiration. We\u2019ve also got some ideas for <\/span>what to write in a friendship card<\/span><\/a> if you want to spread the good vibes around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
