[2025] Empowering English-language pump-up songs for women: Popular empowerment songs (61–70)
Price Tag feat. B.o.BJessie J
It helps calm the helpless feeling I have every day.
It’s a song that makes me feel lighter, as if saying, “It’s okay to keep it simpler.” Jessie J’s powerful voice empowers women no matter what she sings, but I feel like the gentleness stands out more in this song.
Raise Your GlassP!nk
Sung by Pink from the United States, this work is an anthem for people who are outside the mainstream of society.
Released in October 2010 to commemorate the 10th anniversary of her debut, the song also conveys gratitude to her fans.
It features an up-tempo pop-rock sound and a message that affirms being true to yourself.
The track was also used in the trailer for the film “Bridesmaids.” It’s a song that can lift your spirits and give you confidence when you’re feeling down.
Dancing QueenABBA
A disco classic.
The English isn’t hard, so you can sing along.
You’re a dancing queen—how wonderful is that? It’s definitely a song aimed a bit at the older ladies, but it’s also a feel-good anthem that can bring smiles to young, modern women.
Too MuchDove Cameron
American artist Dove Cameron has released an ambitious work that channels the turmoil between self-affirmation and the pressure to meet others’ expectations through a powerful electropop sound.
Cameron, who won a Daytime Emmy in 2018 and is also active as an actress, confronts her inner self in this piece and advocates a way of living unbound by external validation.
The refined, synth-heavy arrangement blends beautifully with operatic vocals reminiscent of early Lady Gaga, resulting in a track that more than lives up to its role as the lead single for her second album.
It’s a song I highly recommend to anyone who wants to reaffirm the importance of living true to oneself.
I Will SurviveGloria Gaynor
Japanese title: “Love Survival.” After crying a lot at the end of a romance, it’s time to get your energy back.
This powerful disco classic—an anthem that represents strong, cool women—will help you regain your strength.
It’s an energy song that’s great for both singing along and dancing.
B***hmeredith brooks
This song means “nasty woman,” and its title is written with an asterisk, but it’s an undeniably powerful track.
Hard to believe it’s been about 20 years.
She was one of the iconic strong female rockers of the 1990s.
Crank it up loud and it’s guaranteed stress relief.
Move OverJanis Joplin
A really cool rock number.
Janis passed away before the album containing this song was completed.
A song from 47 years ago—wow! With this powerful voice, she’s pressing us: “So what are we going to do now?” Highly recommended when you’re feeling frustrated.
