Fierce, fearless, female: Five empowering tracks to honor Women’s Month

What happens when women take the mic? They don't just sing; they spark revolutions, shatter limits, and turn music into a declaration of power.

This Women’s Month, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and boldness of womanhood, and what better way to honor it than through music that amplifies those very qualities, right? From commanding beats to powerful lyrics, music has long been a vessel for women to express their power, break barriers, and inspire change.

Here are the five tracks that embody the essence of modern womanhood: unapologetic, multifaceted, and fearless. These anthems remind listeners on how women are ready to shake the world, encapsulated in melodies that uplift and inspire. 

So turn your volume up, feel the power, and let these songs serve as a reminder that there’s nothing more unstoppable than a woman who knows her worth.

Beyoncé, a global icon of female empowerment, has long used her artistry for her advocacy, to amplify the voices of women. 

Run the World (Girls), with its pulsating beats and rallying call for female leadership, stands as a timeless anthem of power and defiance. It boldly declares that women are not just part of the conversation — they lead it.

With the lyrics like, “Strong enough to bear children, then get back to business,” Queen Bey highlights the incredible duality of womanhood: nurturing yet powerful, soft yet unbreakable. 

For Chappell Roan, rising stardom meets raw authenticity. 

Her latest release, “The Giver”, is a reflection of the emotional labor women often carry, expressed through heartfelt lyrics and lingering melodies that echoes long even after the song ends. The song’s lyrics matched with its country beat truly shows how she proudly embraces her femininity and queerness, offering representation and visibility to those who have long been sidelined. 

If there’s a song that embodies fluidity, confidence, and power of femininity, it’s definitely Doja Cat’s “Woman.”

Driven by smooth Afro-beats moves with fluidity, this song is an ode to women’s ability to be everything: nurturing, seductive, independent, and dominant. 

Doja Cat’s ability to shape culture through music, visuals, and fearless reinvention cements her as a voice of modern-day female empowerment. Whether she is topping the charts or clapping back at critics, she is a prime example of a woman who refuses to be put in a box.

Raising the Philippine flag high, Maymay Entrata’s “AMAKABOGERA” delivers a powerful message of self-confidence and authenticity. 

It exudes unapologetic self-love, serving as a reminder that true beauty lies in embracing one’s individuality, perfectly encapsulated in the lyrics, “‘Di ko kailangan sumabay pa sa uso, ako’y magiging ako na aking ginusto.”

From being a reality show contestant to becoming a pop sensation, Maymay’s journey inspires many young Filipinas, proving that self-confidence and self-belief can turn dreams into reality. 

A battle cry for women everywhere, “Salute” by Little Mix is all about sisterhood and solidarity.

With military-inspired beats and lyrics that position women as warriors, the song embodies the strength of sisterhood, positioning women as warriors, ready to stand together against adversity. 

Throughout their career, Little Mix has broken barriers in the male-dominated music industry, speaking out against sexism, body shaming, and unrealistic beauty standards. 

Different in style but fiercely united in purpose, these songs stand as an anthems for every woman who has fearlessly fought, thrived, and embraced their power. They echo the struggles, victories, and unbreakable spirit that define womanhood.

As we celebrate Women’s Month, let their music remind us that strength comes in many forms — bold or quiet, fierce or gentle — but it always finds its voice. And when it does, the world can't help but listen.
