10 empowering single girly anthems to add to your Valentine's Day playlist

We love an independent girlie anthem!

Being single when everyone around you is all boo'd up and happy can be annoying AF, but Valentine's Day is where it really slaps you in the face. Who needs heart-shaped chocolates and teddy bears that will end up in a landfill anyway? *laughs nervously*

So if you're a singleton like us, instead of moping around this Valentine's Day, we're celebrating being single, independent girlies — and we have the perfect playlist to help us out!

Toni Braxton - He Wasn't Man Enough

If the situationship you've been tangled up in all cuffing season fizzled out before you were able to hard launch him on social media in time for Valentine's Day, don't fret! It wasn't a you problem! It's simply because, as the legendary Toni Braxton said, he wasn't man enough for you!

Miley Cyrus - Flowers

Miley Cyrus' song is a great reminder that even if your heart broken after a breakup, you can take care of yourself. So this Valentine's Day, don't wait for some date to bring you a gift, buy yourself flowers!

Beyonce - Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)

Can't get that guy to commit to buying you dinner on Valentine's Day, let alone pop the question? Then Beyoncé's got you covered. Plus with this playing in your ears you'll spend the whole night dancing and forget all about that loser and embrace being a single lady!

Destiny's Child - Independent Women, Pt. 1

The girl group's song "Independent Women, Pt. 1" is about being an independent woman — duh! So it's the perfect fit for a Valentine's spent as a singleton.

Leslie Gore - You Don't Own Me

I know this is an old song, but hear me out! Lesley Gore released "You Don't Own Me" 60 years ago, way back in 1964, but her song is just as powerful today. Any song that starts with "You don’t own me / I’m not just one of your many toys / You don’t own me / Don’t say I can’t go with other boys" deserves to be played on repeat!

Those lines were feminist AF back in the '60s and still manage to feel empowering today. The lyrics, "I'm young and I love to be young/ I'm free and I love to be free/ To live my life the way I want/ To say and do whatever I please" are also a great reminder that being single can be amazing and freeing so don't fret if you're dateless this Valentine's Day.

TLC -  No Scrubs

TLC "No Scrubs" is so quintessentially '90s and yet modern at the same time. Written by Real Housewives alum Kandi Burruss, the song is about dating a screw up and is a perfect reminder that it’s better to be single on Valentine's Day than with some loser.

Selena Gomez - Me & My Girls

Selena Gomez's empowering song is the perfect bop to listen to as a single girlie when it feels like the rest of the world is celebrating romantic love. "Me & My Girls" is a celebration of friendship and the support your besties can provide. So forget about finding a date, hit up your girls and go out on the town together!

Nicki Minaj - Feeling Myself ft. Beyonce

Rapper Nicki Minaj and superstar Queen Bey join forces for this female empowerment anthem that reminds us to be fiercely independent, self confident, and to never seek validation from outside sources.

Nancy Sinatra - These Boots Are Made for Walkin'

Another oldie, but a goodie. This iconic anthem features lyrics that tell us to walk right out that door if someone is treating you badly and to not be afraid to stomp on their hearts on the way out. Sometimes single is better!

Britney Spears - Stonger

The Princess of Pop's song "Stronger" is about moving on after breaking up with a jerk. It's the perfect fit for your Valentine's Day playlist!
