What are your empowerment songs?

[Millana]

What songs make you think "yes. I can do this. Look out world"?

When I was putting in a grievance at work (that I knew would end my career) I listened to Katy Perry's Roar a lot. About standing up for yourself and making people listen.

I also listened to Rachel Plattern and Fight Song. It's about knowing this will kick off and it'll be tough but that I'll be OK.

9 Lives machine gun Kelly

On a mission- Gabriella Cilme

harder, faster, stronger Kanye

The Killers have a lot for me - Flesh and Bone, All These Things That I've Done, The Man, Dying Breed (are just a few!)

Muse- Survival
Halestorm- Daughters of Darkness

but PP’s Eminem Not Afraid suggestion is also a good shout!

Mine are just positive & bouncy ones, but I love...
'Try Everything' by Shakira
'Best Day of my Life' by American Authors.

Perfect for situations when you need to be brave, smile & give it a go.

One Republic - I Lived - The story behind that song is about Cystic Fibrosis & my child has that so when I listen to it on an off day, it reminds me that if my lad can live & be positive whilst dealing with CF, then I can get by with a bad day :)

Waterboys - Whole of the Moon

Deacon Blue - Real gone kid

2Funky2 - Brothers & Sisters

Sam Fender - Seventeen going under. Most of the lyrics are like living through my teenage years again.

No matter what they take from me
They can't take away my dignity

Because the greatest love of all
Is happening to me
I found the greatest love of all
Inside of me................

You're f'ing amazing. Don't forget that

Unbearably cheesy, but
one moment in time - Whitney
And another Sia one
The greatest

Naughty from the Matilda musical: “Nobody else is gonna put it right for me, nobody but me is going to change my story”

Titanium - David Guetta
Don't Stop Me Now - Queen
Killing in the Name Of - Rage Against the Machine
Song 2 - Blur

Queen don't stop me now
Bonnie Tyler total eclipse of the heart
Elton I'm still standing

It’s My Life by Bon Jovi
Giant by Rag and Bone Man and Calvin Harris

Imagine Dragons - Top of the World (hence my user name)
Sia - Titanium

I'm sure I'll think of more.

I think you'd like Brave by Sara Bareilles. Also:

Elastic Heart by Sia
The Greatest by Sia
Stronger by Kelly Clarkson

I'll add more if I can think of any later!

For having standards when picking men to date……

No Scrubs, by TLC (it makes me laugh too, so bonus)
Don’t come the cowboy with me, Sonny Jim, by Kirsty MacColl

As you can guess by my user name I'm a massive fan. Hi Ren is pure genius. All his songs are incredible.

you can do it- ice cube always listen to it before eg interviews v motivating

also let it go- frozen
defying gravity-wicked
speechless-aladdin

The Greatest Love of All George Benson

I could watch Stevie Nicks stare a hole through Lindsay Buckingham all day long.

I love this thread and adopting some of them.

This will probably sound a bit sad but I work in a very male dominated industry and there's about 5 of us women who all really want each other to succeed.

It's become a sort of tradition that if any one of us is interviewing, that the other 4 have to send them a motivational song in WhatsApp the morning of the interview.

My favourites are Kate Perry - Firework
Alicia Keys - This Girl is on Fire
Journey- Don't Stop Believing
Imagine Dragons - Top of the World

I will Survive by Chantay Sauvage.( Not Gloria).
