[2026] Best Empowering Anthems: Top 1–10 Uplifting Pop Songs for Women
F**kin’ PerfectP!nk
P!nk has a lot of empowering songs, but I think this one stands head and shoulders above the rest.
It feels like a friend telling you, with a strong F-word, that you’re perfect just the way you are.
If big sis P!nk says so, then it’s probably true, right? (lol) The music video is so moving it’ll have you sobbing.
RoarKaty Perry
Katy Perry, the American singer-songwriter nicknamed the “Princess of Pop.” The lead single from her fourth studio album, Prism, released in 2013, is a track with a memorable music video set in the jungle.
Its anthemic melody—practically made for stadium sing-alongs—fills you with powerful energy just by listening.
The lyrics and the video are perfectly in sync, and seeing the once-shy protagonist boldly declare “I am a champion” might make your own small worries feel trivial.
Like the protagonist, let’s let out a roar and rise to our feet!
I Wanna Thank Me (ft. Niecy Nash)Meghan Trainor
Meghan Trainor’s new song, which powerfully delivers a message of self-love and self-affirmation, is making waves.
Inspired by an Emmy Award acceptance speech, the track stands out with its positive, forward-looking lyrics and catchy melody.
Released in May 2024, it’s drawing attention as the lead single from the album “Timeless.” Featuring actress Niecy Nash, it celebrates the beauty of living authentically.
Feeling down or losing confidence? Give this track a listen to recharge.
It’s an empowering song that gives you the courage to believe in yourself.
Good as HellLizzo
Lizzo continues to captivate audiences with her charismatic performances.
While rooted in hip-hop and soul, she’s also a brilliant pop songwriter who’s delivered massive hits.
This track centers on self-acceptance and honoring individuality—an anthem of empowerment that encourages listeners to believe in themselves.
Released in 2016 and surging back to hit status in 2019, it was also performed at the MTV Video Music Awards.
It has been featured in various tie-ins, including the films Barbershop: The Next Cut and I Feel Pretty.
It’s a powerful message song to play when you want to reclaim your true self or break free from negative feelings.
Girl Gone WildMadonna
She’s the Queen of Pop, so you might wonder, “Why this song out of all her hits?” But watch this music video with her age in mind.
She revels in being a woman and never uses age as an excuse—hats off to her.
It’s sure to give you courage.
