Voting can be tiresome. It can feel tedious at times with the long lines, the polling place hours varying, trying to figure out early voting, and voter registration deadlines—I mean the list could go on and on. 2020 has been a weird year already, but it is especially a strange year for voting. I mean, this is all happening in the middle of a pandemic. How much weirder could it get? But, we must press on and exercise our civic duty to cast a ballot, whether that’s in-person or by mail. And we must be confident that our votes are being cast and counted fairly. That is why I created this playlist. I know that we all need to feel a bit more fired up this year to be really passionate about voting, so I thought, what better way to get us excited than a bomb playlist? And so, I present to you: The Ultimate 2020 Voting Playlist.
- “Run the World (Girls)” by Beyonce
-
Who run the world? GIRLS! (And hopefully, Kamala Harris will be helping run that Oval Office!) Yes ladies, let’s get out there and vote for our rights so that girls can keep running the world!
- “Roar” by Katy Perry
-
I chose “Roar” because, well, I feel that we all need to let out a big roar after these past four years. No longer will we “bite [our] tongue and hold [our] breath,” it’s time to hear us ROAR for what we believe in!
- “You Don’t Own Me” by Grace
-
A song that makes you feel like a baddie in the best way. “You Don’t Own Me” is the perfect song to remind you of your independence! Stand up for what you believe in and Vote Him Out!

Ooh yes girl, you should feel Confident that your vote is being counted fairly! Be sure to mail in your ballot early and check your polling location if you’re voting in-person!
- “Respect” by Aretha Franklin
-
R-E-S-P-E-C-T the right to vote! And demand that R-E-S-P-E-CT from a president! It’s the most basic thing we can do to ensure we are being heard because after all, we all have the right to be heard!
- “These Boots Are Made For Walkin'” by Nancy Sinatra
-
These Boots Are Made For Walkin’…to the polls! But on the real, be sure to wear comfy shoes in case of any long lines or walkin’ you’re going to have to endure to get that vote in!
- “Work It” by Missy Elliott
-
Work It and exercise that civic duty! Cast that ballot, girl!
