Today has just not been your day. You had a stressful day at work, your group presentation got turned turn instantly at school, or maybe you are on the end of a breakup. Whatever the case is, music has a way of changing your mood and everyone could use the occasional confidence boost. For different reasons, these 10 songs seem to get me in the zone and give me the extra push to know I can do anything I set my mind to. Which of these songs that will boost your confidence are you going to try?
1. Confident by Demi Lovato
I mean it’s in the title! How could you not instantly get hyped up to this song? There is absolutely nothing wrong with being confident and Demi made that crystal clear. Sometimes I feel like my confidence is seen as an ego but if I’m being authentic and happy with how I’m presenting myself, that’s all that matters! Which of these songs that will boost your confidence are you going to try?
2. Strut by The Cheetah Girls
If you say this wasn’t your favorite song from The Cheetah Girls 2 then we are going to have some severe trust issues. The concept of strutting is usually associated with models up and down a runway but it’s important to note this involves an incredible level of confidence. In the words of my girls “you gotta strut like you mean it” which means that extra effort is a requirement. Which of these songs that will boost your confidence are you going to try?
3. Stronger by Britney Spears
A daily goal is to be stronger than the day before but to have your loneliness not kill you anymore? That requires a serious confidence boost. With this song Britney showed that things can change with time and that going off on your own doesn’t have to always be seen in a negative light. Whenever I get stuck on something that happened in the past, this song snaps me back out of it and reminds me that I’m stronger!
4. Bring It All Back by S Club 7
Not only is this one of the happiest sounding songs I have ever heard but it has an overwhelmingly positive message. What adds to its impact is that so many voices come together to remind you to never give up. The confidence boost is most apparent with lines like “If people try to put you down/ Just walk on by don’t turn around/ You only have to answer to yourself.” Putting your own feelings first is a basic concept but it is certainly not easy. This song should be an anthem that you always have on standby!
5. What’s My Name by China Anne McClain, Thomas Doherty, + Dylan Playfair
This song is from Descendants 2 and if you’ve seen it, the inclusion of a “villain” song on a confidence list could be confusing. After going through the soundtrack multiple times, this became one of my go-to songs for a mood booster. Uma has been left on the Isle of the Lost and she is making it a point to not be forgotten. “Say it louder” when referring to her name is a power tactic to keep control of her crew and ultimately become an equal foe to Mal with the kingdom of Auradon. Consider working out to this track and you’ll want to shout with Uma as well. Which of these songs that will boost your confidence are you going to try?
6. Keep On Keeping On by Travie McCoy ft. Brendon Urie
An underrated song to say the least, this song is all about breaking through limitations and making a better life for yourself. The video is visually stunning when the lines “He plucked feather from his back/ And watches his bottom limbs, bend forward/ Toward something more, he wasn’t sure” circle back around and it is a simple reminder that we must keep pushing forward. Even in the bleakest of moments, we must keep on keeping on.
7. Not Ready To Make Nice by Dixie Chicks
There are times when we experience spurts of anger and that seems to cause our confidence to plummet. What I love about this song is that the power resides in the anger. Yes, we know they will get past it but sometimes you just have to say I’m mad! For whatever reason this angsty song makes my confidence increase and maybe it will do the same for you.

8. Warrior by Chloe x Halle
“I could be a warrior, yes I am a warrior” packs such a powerful punch in this song along with the emphasis on being in the light. Overcoming darkness and fear to be in a place free of worry is one of my many goals. All the different tempos in this song build and gets me excited just thinking about it!
9. Rise Up by Andra Day
In the realm of pushing forward, this song resonates with so many people for good reason. Through varying circumstances, rising is not always possible and even having that mentality is a struggle. On those low days, this song provides a comfort and stirs a reminder that we need hope for each other. I can’t have ideal confidence in myself if I don’t care about those around me.

10. Heart Break by Lady Antebellum
The play on the title automatically caught my attention when I heard this song. It is a gentle reminder that sometimes we just need time to ourselves. To be comfortable being “solo on a Saturday night” is a level I aim to reach and taking a step back from it all can help with that aspiration.
Whichever songs get your self-assurance going, I hope you use them often and always! Which of these songs that will boost your confidence are you going to try? Let us know below.
