22 Songs to Help Boost Your Confidence:

In all honesty, sometimes getting in touch with our emotions and boosting our confidence is hard, but that’s where music comes in!

1. “Vienna” by Billy Joel

Song Lyrics:  “You can’t be everything you want to be before your time…When will you realize Vienna waits for you”

 

Don’t hang your head low or give up! “Slow down you’re doing fine” These lyrics can boost your confidence by reminding you that the things you want in life will come at the right time. Furthermore, don’t sweat it if things don’t work out….it’ll be ok.  “Vienna waits for you.”

2. “Clay” by Grace VanderWaal

Song Lyrics: “Trying to tear her down was your first mistake ‘Cause little do you know She wasn’t built to break”

3. “Put Your Records On” by Ritt Momney (Cover)

Song Lyrics: “Sapphire and faded jeans, I hope you get your dreams. Just go ahead, let your hair down You’re gonna find yourself somewhere, somehow.”

The road to self-love can be beneficial when trying to build our confidence and accept our emotions. With this intention, stay kind to yourself put your records on… let your hair down and breathe! You got this.

4.  “Rain” by Grandson and Jessie Reyez

Song Lyrics: “I do not mind the rain sometimes ‘Cause that’s the only way the roses bloom” 

I discovered this song when watching the movie “Suicide Squad.” It fit the movie perfectly. Every character has been deemed a villain, but they each have a story to tell while battling their own demons. Generally speaking, I’m sure a lot of us have demons inside (something that hurts inside).

In essence, the lyrics to this song can boost confidence by reminding us that we can bloom through hard times, just like roses need the rain in order to bloom.

Embrace the rain (hard times). Undoubtedly, you have overcome hard times, and it’s made you stronger! Keep blooming.

5. Letter from a Thief by Chevelle

Song Lyrics: “If you ever enter my mind
Stay there, you’ll live Defend it off”

Negativity and bad thoughts can be a thief of joy and a total confidence killer!

Staying positive will help build your confidence and help you work on your emotional wellness. All in all, you are here for a purpose and deserve to live your best life.

6. Float On by Modest Mouse

7. Energy by Tyla Jane

Song Lyrics: “And it’s all because I’m working on my energy. Drinking coffee take a sip They say I’m sparkling. Manifest that, write it down. You know it’s happening.”

“Energy” is a great hype song to listen to! Hype yourself up with these lyrics. I guarantee they’ll improve your emotional wellness and confidence.

8.  “This Is The Day” by The The
Song Lyrics: ”This is the day your life will surely change. This is the day when things fall into place.”

10.  “Fly” by Maddie and Tae

Under those circumstances, stay confident in your choices! Listen to this song as a reminder of how far you’ve come.

11.  “Riser” by Direks Bentley

Song Lyrics: “I’m a riser I’m a get up off the ground, don’t run and hider. Pushing comes to shoving..Hey I’m a fighter.”

Keep rising, ladies! I know times get tough but we will make it through. Motherhood is a beautiful journey. Truly, these lyrics are a confident booster because they are a reminder that we are not alone.

12. “The Show Goes On” by Lupe Fiasco

Song Lyrics:  “Anybody ever wonder When they would see the sun up Just remember when you come up The show goes on!”

13. “Rise Up” by Andra Day

Song Lyrics: ”And I’ll rise up. I’ll rise like the day. I’ll rise up. I’ll rise unafraid I’ll rise up. And I’ll do it a thousand times again”

The lyrics to this song are beautiful! As mothers, we keep going because we have children to set an example for. Sometimes people tell us, “I don’t know how you do it!” But we do it. We keep rising despite the pain or whatever we’re feeling because of the love we have for our children.

All things considered, keep boosting your confidence, and remember to take care of your emotional wellness. I see you.. and believe in you!

14. “Industry Baby” by Lil Nas X
Song Lyrics: “I told you long ago, on the road I got what they’re waitin’ for…You was never really rootin’ for me anyway When I’m back up at the top I wanna hear you say”

Sometimes we can find ourselves in a stagnant place kinda just going through the motions. But if you play this song, I’m sure it’ll motivate you to bring back that sparkle back into your life and hit your goals! Boost your confidence!

15. “Livin’ On A Prayer” by Bon Jovi

Song Lyrics: We’ve gotta hold on to what we’ve got. It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not. We got each other and that’s a lot for love. We’ll give it a shot”

Lizzo is full of confidence! With this in mind, I just had to add her to the list because she teaches me and the women around her to be themselves and to be proud of who we are!

Equally important, I hope you’re feeling good after listening to this song.

20. “Scars to Your Beautiful” by Alessia Cara

Song Lyrics:  But there’s a hope that’s waiting for you in the dark. You should know you’re beautiful just the way you are
And you don’t have to change a thing
The world could change its heart”

21. “I Feel Like  a Woman” by Shania Twain

Song Lyrics: “I wanna be free
Yeah, to feel the way I feel
Man! I feel like a woman!”

 

22. “The Middle” by Jimmy Eat World

Song Lyrics: “Hey, don’t write yourself off yet. It’s only in your head you feel left out or looked down on. Just try your best, try everything you can. And don’t you worry what they tell themselves when you’re away.”

“The Middle” is an oldie but a goodie! Moreover, all of the lyrics can teach us and our children a great lesson about life and dealing with a lack of confidence.

Remember that …  “It just takes some time…you’re in the middle of the ride Everything, everything will be just fine Everything, everything will be alright, alright.”
