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

Like a girl - Lizzo

Absolute Queen

Also this Lizzo song is really good for feeling female friendships and being empowered:

I do my hair toss
Check my nails
Baby how you feelin'?
Feeling good as hell
Hair toss
Check my nails
Baby how you feelin'?
Feeling good as hell
Woo child, tired of the bullshit
Go on dust your shoulders off, keep it moving
Yes Lord, tryna get some new shit
In there, swimwear, going to the pool shit
Come now, come dry your eyes
You know you a star, you can touch the sky
I know that it's hard but you have to try
If you need advice, let me simplify
If he don't love you anymore
Just walk your fine ass out the door
I do my hair toss
Check my nails
Baby how you feelin'?
Feeling good as hell
Hair toss
Check my nails
Baby how you feelin'?
Feeling good as hell
Feeling good as hell
Baby how you feelin'?
Feeling good as hell
Woo girl, need to kick off your shoes
Got to take a deep breath, time to focus on you
All the big fights, long nights that you been through
I got a bottle of Tequila I been saving for you
Boss up and change your life
You can have it all, no sacrifice
I know he did you wrong, we can make it right
So go and let it all hang out tonight
'Cause he don't love you anymore
So walk your fine ass out the door
And do your hair toss
Check my nails
Baby how you feelin'?
Feeling good as hell
Hair toss
Check my nails
Baby how you feelin'?
Feeling good as hell
Hair toss
Check my nails
Baby how you feelin'?
Feeling good as hell
Hair toss
Check my nails
Baby how you feelin'?
Feeling good as hell
Listen, if he don't love you anymore
Then walk your fine ass out the door

Hoping that links work. 'One of Us' by Heather Dale.
And less obscure, 'Roar' by Katy Perry.

@Germolenequeen

The original and best girl power song:

I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor 💓

I’m not 100% keen on the original, but glee (Blush) did a version where there is a mashup of this song and survivor by Destiny’s child
