27 Best Girl Songs For Instagram Stories
Contents
“Formation” by Beyoncé
Song year: 2016
In typical Beyoncé fashion, the queen delivers a song about self-confidence and empowerment without coming off as too self-important in “Formation.” After all, a song is all about how it makes you feel, isn’t it?
“Formation” features a bit of a quirky beat (do you remember?), but it’s the perfect cut for all those times you’re feeling stylin’. Of course, it’s a shoo-in for dance videos too. Alternatively, it could be for those times you’re feeling impossibly sexy.
“Savage” by Megan Thee Stallion
Song year: 2020
Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage” found resonance with all fierce, empowered women who promptly used the song in their TikTok posts.
If you’re feeling confident, empowered, self-expressed, or unapologetic, then “Savage” is just the tune you’ve been looking for. It’s also a great choice for fashion or try-on-related posts, dancing, or spontaneous winking at the camera Stories.
“Good 4 U” by Olivia Rodrigo
Song year: 2021
Sometimes you need to vent to get something off your chest. Olivia Rodrigo’s “Good 4 U” is reminiscent of Kelly Clarkson’s songs about empowerment, at least musically.
“Good 4 U” is admittedly angrier, and possibly even vengeful. Of course, heartbreak is rarely easy. If you feel like you’ve been running the gamut and still feel like you’re not good enough, this is your anthem.
“Garden Song” by Phoebe Bridgers
Song year: 2020
With a decidedly mellow backing track, “Garden Song” might be more haunted than you might think. The folk-rock ballad plays out like a fairytale, describing things the narrator thought they would experience growing up.
The song certainly has a dream-like quality, however, and Bridgers herself said it’s about how things manifest in life the more you think about them.
If all you’re looking for is a lazy Sunday tune, this one will certainly do the trick. But even if you’re in a manifesting mood, it may also be a solid pick.
“Boss Bitch” by Doja Cat
Song year: 2020
The title tells most of the story. Doja Cat’s “Boss Bitch” is about being a strong, independent, empowered woman.
If you’re killing it in your business, if you’re getting the work done and shining in your achievements, or even if you’re about to take some big steps towards your goals, this song should fit like a glove for your Instagram Stories.
“Cuff It” by Beyoncé
Song year: 2022
You can count on Beyoncé to deliver a track that’s full of confidence and poise. The disco-tinged “CUFF IT” is mostly about a saucy night with a lover.
It’s got such a catchy groove that it makes it perfect for dancing, going to the club, or even partying. It’s also a great track for self-esteem, confidence, and empowerment-related posts.
“Big Energy” by Latto
Song year: 2022
You’ll remember the backing track to Latto’s “Big Energy” from Mariah Carey’s “Fantasy” (if you remember that far back). That gives it some instant, danceable pop appeal.
It’s not a mystery what “Big Energy” is supposed to be about (it even became a popular meme), but plenty of people got a kick out of it.
If you’re feeling playful, silly, or maybe even a little flirtatious, there’s Latto’s “Big Energy.”
