Fight SongRachel Platten
An empowering anthem by American singer-songwriter Rachel Platten that declares, “I’m taking back my life with my own hands!” Born from her struggle against the helplessness she felt during 12 years of groundwork, this song is infused with the determination to rise again and shakes the listener to the core.
Released in February 2015 and included on the album Wildfire, it reached No.
6 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and No.
1 in the UK, and was also used as a WWE campaign song.
When you feel alone, believing no one understands you, her powerful voice will awaken the fighting spirit within you and give you the courage to face forward once more.
#SELFIEThe Chainsmokers
The Chainsmokers are all the rage right now.
Lately, they’ve mostly been releasing mellow tracks and have put out fewer high-energy songs like “#SELFIE.” That makes this one a rare gem today.
As the title suggests, selfies take center stage.
The video features lots of photos of people smiling and taking selfies.
It’s a song that puts a smile on your face just by watching.
Run the World (Girls)Beyoncé
The song released in 2011 by American global singer Beyoncé is the ultimate anthem that powerfully celebrates women’s empowerment.
Its lyrics answer the question “Who runs the world?” with a resounding “Girls!”, expressing the limitless potential women possess in every aspect of life—work, love, and beyond.
Featured on the album 4, the track premiered on radio in April and stands out with its dynamic fusion of electropop and R&B.
It’s a song that will inspire courage and confidence for anyone feeling uncertain before a new challenge or losing faith in themselves.
