It’s that time of year again, ladies. Love is in the air, pink is everywhere, and chocolate is on sale!! Yes, Galentine’s Day is upon us- February 13, the day when we ditch all the misters for our sisters. Because you know your true love is really your best friend, who’s always there to lend you a tampon. And in true millennial fashion, we have playlist to celebrate all the leading ladies in our lives. Channel your inner Leslie Knope, grab your girls, and get ready for the best girls’ night out!

  1. Girls Just Want to Have Fun, Cyndi Lauper

Start your Galentine’s Day with a classic. This song embodies the spirit of Galentine’s Day. After a long, hard day, we all just want to have fun. Especially since Galentine’s Day is on a Monday this year, start your girls’ night and week off right, throwing off the patriarchy and having unbridled fun with your squad.

  1. A Little Party Never Killed Nobody (All We Got), Fergie

Ladies, get down this Galentine’s Day! Whether you have a full-blown party, go to the club, or a quiet night in with the girls, let loose. Ain’t nothing wrong with a little crazy. Monday, shmonday! Tuesday mornings are a dime a dozen, Galentine’s Day is once a year.

  1. Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), Beyonce

Galentine’s Day holds a special place in the hearts of single ladies. Not everyone has a valentine and us single girls need love too. Hitting the town looking on fleek with your girls is just as good as a sweet date with your S.O.

  1. Back to Me, Marian Hill

Maybe this Galentine’s Day comes shortly after a breakup. This song is a good confidence booster and all about empowerment. Gurl, you are a fine woman, and one day you’ll find someone who will never turn their back to you.

  1. In the Name of Love, Martin Garrix

What would your man do for you in the name of love? Now what would your girls do for you in the name of love? Let’s be real, when crazy you is out and about who’s right there beside her? Your best friend! #hoesbeforebros

  1. Not Your Way, MisterWives

This Galentine’s Day, stick it to the man, ladies! Galentine’s Day is about celebrating women. You are a strong independent woman and you don’t need no man or his standards. You do you for you.

  1. Diva, Beyonce

It’s only right to listen to one of the most empowering songs on such an empowering day. With Beyonce, we reclaimed the word diva and made it something to aspire to. Aspire to hustle and grind, girls!

  1. No Scrubs, TLC

One of the number one jobs of your best friend is to vett any and all potential baes. This song sets a straight standard for any guy checking out one of your squad. Know your worth and don’t accept any scrubs.

  1. 1, 2 Step, Ciara

With this song, we’re going to make a full circle. Here, it’s all good vibes and having fun. Despite everything already said about boys and the patriarchy, Galentine’s Day shouldn’t be political. It’s just a day marked to be a special ladies’ night.

  1. Run the World (Girls), Beyonce

By the end of Galentine’s Day, hopefully you’ll feel like the amazing, awesome, boss woman you are. And to guarantee that, we’re ending this playlist with Queen Bey herself. While you may not run the whole actually world, you definitely run your world. Build yourself a world that will build you up. Have a great Galentine’s Day!
