Ones that scream female power.

I love this band, but this song just made me stop and listen when I first heard it. I made sure my dd is listening to it whenever she feels down

dear daughter by Halestorm

Helen Reddy - I am Woman (hear me roar)

ChristmasShearwater · 26/07/2021 07:38

Sorry OP don't think yours is about female power

"Dear daughter, don't worry about those stupid girls. If they try to bring you down, it's cos they're scared and insecure"

Soubriquet · 26/07/2021 07:38

Well it’s saying, if a girl is bullying you, it’s usually because they are insecure.

So yes it is.

hellswelshy · 26/07/2021 08:55

How about 'oh bondage up yours' by X Ray Spex? Or 'cherry bomb' by The Runaways.

ObviousNameChage · 26/07/2021 09:03

I'm currently loving this. Not a "classic" or that heartfelt, but the lyrics really resonate with me and I think it's a good message.
