Western songs that women like. World classics and popular hits.

NOMeghan Trainor

Meghan Trainor – NO (Official Video)

This is a memorable track featuring a powerful message that cuts down persistent advances in one stroke.

It was crafted by American powerhouse and Grammy winner Meghan Trainor.

Released in March 2016, it served as the lead single from her album “Thank You.” There’s even a story that, after the label’s CEO told her there was “no single,” she channeled her anger and finished the song in just one day.

That energy comes through in the portrayal of a resolute woman who pushes back with a firm “no” — even to someone asking for her name or number.

It radiates unwavering self-confidence that refuses to yield to casual flirting.

When you want to stay true to your own core and not be swayed by others, listening to this song might just give you the push you need.

Just DanceLady Gaga

Lady Gaga – Just Dance (Official Music Video) ft. Colby O’Donis

Speaking of Lady Gaga, she took the world by storm as an eccentric idol who came up with things no one else would.

It’s no exaggeration to call this her greatest song.

She’s calmed down quite a bit now, but she’ll surely continue to release many more masterpieces.

Everything’s Gonna Be AlrightBob Marley

Bob Marley – Everything’s Gonna Be Alright

Even if you’re not a reggae fan, you probably know Bob Marley—the undisputed god of reggae.

When it comes to his masterpieces, I think this song stands out.

I imagine many women have been uplifted by its upbeat reggae rhythm and encouraging lyrics.

Call Me MaybeCarly Rae Jepsen

Carly Rae Jepsen – Call Me Maybe

I do think that the poppy, cute sound was one reason it became a hit, but its approachable look was probably another key factor.

The music video, featuring an adorably cute Carly singing and dancing, was also done in a very charming way, and it seems many women got hooked on it.

We Are YoungFun

Fun.: We Are Young ft. Janelle Monáe [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

This is a classic song by a three-piece band whose debut album suddenly dominated the top spots on charts around the world—an incredible achievement.

Surely everyone has heard it at least once.

The music video is stylish, too.

I haven’t heard much from them lately—what are they up to now, I wonder?

Skinny LoveBirdy

Birdy – Skinny Love (Official Music Video)

Birdy’s songs all have a sorrowful tone that can make you feel lonely, and among them, the masterpiece is “Skinny Love.” Although she has many songs like this, learning that her real name is Jasmine and that her nickname, Birdy, comes from being compared to a little bird makes her seem very cute.

Because Of YouKelly Clarkson

Kelly Clarkson – Because Of You (Official HD Video)

Kelly Clarkson, who debuted from an audition program, was highly praised for her powerful vocal ability.

Many women likely admire this kind of Cinderella story—someone who originally lacked confidence in her music rising to the top and becoming a singer.
