15 inspirational songs that offer life lessons for women of all ages

“Confident” by Demi Lovato

Whenever a song title alone makes it clear that there is a message to it, then you know it is likely to be inspirational. And considering everything that Demi Lovato has gone through over the years, listening to her sing about having confidence seems like a must listen.

Not only is this the ultimate anthem of being confident (obviously), but the music itself is fierce and addictive. In fact, this is a true playlist must, even as it is also one of our female empowerment songs.

Considering this song is all about having confidence, it makes sense that some of the lyrics are all about embracing who we are. Perhaps the best lyric to support this idea is, “I used to hold my freak back, now I’m letting go. I make my own choice.”

There is no reason to let anyone talk down to you or let undermine you, which is why this song is so important. We all have our flaws, but no one should be trying to make us feel less dignified than we are. With “Confident” we get a song that reminds us that we should be keeping our heads held high and not letting anyone try to bring us down.

Be confident. Be brave. And never let anyone tell you who you can and can’t be. After all, you really are just who you need and want to be.
