- Fuckin’ Perfect – Pink
“Don’t you ever feel like you’re less than fuckin’ perfect,” a line from the song says. This may have been written by Pink for herself but the message of the song transcends to anyone who listens to it, leaving a message that you should not settle for anything less than what you deserve because you’re perfect.
- Try – Colbie Caillat
Let’s admit it, most of us always want to “belong” in this society, we always want to be accepted by everyone that we try so hard to fit in that we tend to forget our own identity. Sometimes, we lose ourselves by trying to be somebody that we are not, and this song reminds its listeners to be a little gentle to themselves by not trying too hard. “You don’t have to try so hard, you don’t have to bend until you break,” one of the lines of the song says, seemingly reminding you that you don’t have to always bend to what others think of you until you lose your self-identity because it’s always okay to be who you are, for yourself and not for anyone else.
- Warrior – Demi Lovato
We’re all aware that Demi Lovato has been through a lot – from her struggles with mental health to alcohol and substance abuse. “Warrior” may also be a message to herself, in her efforts to pick herself up from all that she’s been through. “I’m a warrior, and you can never hurt me again,” she says in the song – we think that it is a powerful line, that brings out a message to everyone who gets to listen to it, saying that you should empower yourself by turning your struggles into your strength.
- Alive – Sia
Beyond the powerful vocals of Sia, it’s the song’s message to be brave in facing every challenge that life throws at you and that you should not care about what other people think about you. “I knew what I wanted, I went in and got it. Did all the things that you said that I wouldn’t,” one of the song’s lines says, which seemingly talks about encouragement to just go for what you feel and trust your capabilities.
- Epiphany – BTS
More than being the biggest boy group to date, most of the songs by BTS has always been relatable to anyone who listens to it. Self-love and self-worth have been some of their advocacies, they even partnered with the United Nations to promote self-love. We could go on and on in talking about how they incorporate the idea of self-love and self-worth in their songs, but this one tops the list, especially when we went on to check its English translation. “I finally realized so I love me. Not so perfect but so beautiful, I’m the one I should love,” one line from the song says that’s perfect enough to feel how worthy you should be.
