10 Feminist Bops that Should be on Everyone’s Playlist

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Wisconsin chapter.

2019 is a girl power year. Feminist bops are great to listen to at the gym, walking to class, and getting ready for the morning when you need some confidence. Here are some songs I listen to to increase confidence and feel sisterhood with my friends.

Important lyrics: “I just took a DNA test, turns out I’m 100% that bitch” 

Mothers Daughter — Miley Cyrus

Important lyrics: “Don’t f**k with my freedom”

You Need to Calm Down — Taylor Swift 

Important lyrics: “And we see you over there on the internet, comparing all the girls who are killing it”

Joan of Arc — Little Mix 

Important lyrics: “I don’t want your cash, I put my own rock on my hand” 

Independent Women — Destiny’s Child 

Important lyrics: “Try to control me, boy, you get dismissed”

Bo$$ — Fifth Harmony 

Important lyrics: “I pledge allegiance to my independent girls”
