Songs about body image and self-esteem

There is no better way to change your mood instantly than listening to a great song right! This is why I’ve curated this list of songs that focus on body positivity, self-confidence and self-love, to remind you that you’re perfect just AS YOU ARE!

So when you feel a bit down or insecure, play these songs very loud and sing along! Their lyrics are full of positive affirmations that you can just repeat over and over again.

Because you are BEAUTIFUL, even if the world or this little negative voice in your head tells you otherwise."

  1. “Born this way” by Lady gaga

“There’s nothing wrong with loving who you are”
She said, “‘Cause He made you perfect, babe”
“So hold your head up, girl, and you’ll go far
Listen to me when I say” I’m beautiful in my way
‘Cause God makes no mistakes
I’m on the right track, baby
I was born this way
Don’t hide yourself in regret
Just love yourself and you’re set
I’m on the right track, baby

I was born this way (born this way)”

2. “Scars to your beautiful” by Alessia Cara

“She just wants to be beautiful
She goes unnoticed, she knows no limits
She craves attention, she praises an image
She prays to be sculpted by the sculptor
Oh, she don’t see the light that’s shining
Deeper than the eyes can find it
Maybe we have made her blind
So she tries to cover up her pain and cut her woes away
Cause covergirls don’t cry after their face is made”

3. “Rise up” by Andra Day

“You’re broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry-go-round
And you can’t find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains”

4. “Beautiful” by Christina Aguilera

“Every day is so wonderful
Then suddenly it’s hard to breathe
Now and then I get insecure from all the pain
I’m so ashamed

I am beautiful no matter what they say
Words can’t bring me down
I am beautiful in every single way
Yes, words can’t bring me down, oh no
So don’t you bring me down today”

5. “Secrets” by Mary Lambert

“I’ve got bipolar disorder
My shit’s not in order
I’m overweight, I’m always late
I’ve got too many things to say
I rock mom jeans, cat earrings
Extrapolate my feelings
My family is dysfunctional
But we have a good time killing each other

They tell us from the time we’re young
To hide the things that we don’t like about ourselves
Inside ourselves
I know I’m not the only one”

6. “Try” by Colbie Caillat

“Put your make-up on
Get your nails done
Curl your hair
Run the extra mile
Keep it slim so they like you, do they like you?

Get your sexy on
Don’t be shy, girl
Take it off
This is what you want, to belong, so they like you
Do you like you?

You don’t have to try so hard
You don’t have to, give it all away
You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up
You don’t have to change a single thing”

7. “All about that Bass” by Meghan Trainor

“Yeah, it’s pretty clear, I ain’t no size two
But I can shake it, shake it, like I’m supposed to do
Cause I got that boom boom that all the boys chase
And all the right junk in all the right places
I see the magazines working that Photoshop
We know that shit ain’t real, come on now, make it stop
If you got beauty beauty just raise ’em up
Cause every inch of you is perfect from the bottom to the top”

10. “Biggie smalls” by Cupcakke

“Look past the post, she photoshopped her rolls
Filter so bright she don't think black glows
That 30-inch weave is to cover her back rolls
It's shocking to you but not to me
People turning insecurities to mockeries
Shit I could be thin or overweight, won't bother me
I'm still choose Burger King over broccoli
I love every inch of my body don't compare me to shawty
Size 7 or 11, I'm a still be a hottie
I dial 0 to the lobby, chop up my steak like karate”

“Pretty hurts
Shine the light on whatever's worse
Perfection is the disease of a nation

Tryna fix something

It's the soul that needs the surgery”

12. “Superwoman” by Alicia Keys

“For all the mothers fighting
For better days to come
And all my women, all my women sitting here trying
To come home before the sun
And all my sisters
Coming together
Say yes I will
Yes I can

I am a Superwoman
Yes I am
Yes she is
Even when I'm a mess
I still put on a vest
With an S on my chest”

'Cause that's perfect to me
'Cause that's perfect to me”

14. “Pretty girl” by Maggie Lindeman

“I can swear, I can joke
I say what's on my mind
If I drink, if I smoke
I keep up with the guys
And you see me holding up my middle finger to the world
Fuck your ribbons and your pearls
'Cause I'm not just a pretty girl

I'm more than just a picture
I'm a daughter and a sister
Sometimes it's hard for me to show”

15. “Mrs Potato Head” by Melanie Martinez

“Oh Mrs. Potato Head tell me
Is it true that pain is beauty?
Does a new face come with a warranty?
Will a pretty face make it better?
Oh Mr. Potato Head tell me
How did you afford her surgery?
Do you swear you'll stay forever
Even if her face don't stay together
Even if her face don't stay together”

What is Body Positive Music?

The body positivity movement appears to be growing in strength and is a direct response to the stereotypical ways that media represents women. Messages in popular music and videos, for example, often focus on the importance of appearance and present a very specific, unobtainable view of beauty.

What is the body positivity movement?

“In a larger context, body positivity is a social movement that advocates for the acceptance of all bodies, regardless of size, shape, skin tone, gender or physical abilities,” says Dr. Albers. She adds that this movement challenges unrealistic beauty standards and ideals.
