20 Pop Songs that Will Leave You Feeling Empowered

Whether you’re going for a job interview, feeling down, or just needing some motivation to either get through that to-do list or get your butt to the gym, these songs will have you singing, dancing and feeling empowered in no time. I’ve created a playlist entitled ‘I’VE GOT THIS’ & included it in the post so you can just hit play when you need to feel empowered to take on the world. There’s probably a lot of other songs that have great beats which would also motivate you but I tried to choose songs that are more than just a man singing about how much a girl in the club wants to have sex with him. Let’s face it, there’s enough of that rubbish in the world as it is. This one I’ve really tried to make it something that will make you feel strong and like you can do anything! Most of them are pop songs we know and love but there’s a few from smaller artists which you may not have heard before but I know you’ll love! I’ve also got a pair of BlueAnt Wireless Earbuds valued at $169.95 to giveaway for one lucky reader to enjoy listening to all their favourite tunes on.

These are some of my favourite pop song’s that inspire and empower me to to feel on top of the world. Have a listen by the Spotify playlist below and I dare you not to dance along. I guarantee it’s almost impossible! Have fun!

You shine brighter this, this is for all the girls

Boys all over the world

Whatever you been told

You’re worth more than gold

So hold your head up high

It’s your time to shine

From the inside out it shows

You’re worth more than gold

You’re worth more than gold‘
