All of us occasionally need a reminder to overcome our difficulties and tap into our own inner strength. Fortunately, there are many songs that are especially good at achieving precisely that.
Being a music fan fundamentally involves being able to identify with the songs you listen to and their themes of self and problems. People who are down have long resorted to the stylings of lyrical auteurs to boost their own self-confidence, whether it is due to identity struggles, financial difficulties, or even just a case of the Monday blues.
Miley Cyrus, “The Climb”
You can’t have this list without “The Climb,” I mean, come on. Miley Cyrus’ now-classic song is renowned worldwide for its message of optimism in the face of hardship. It is an anthem of dedication through and through. It’s the climb, she says in the chorus, not what’s waiting for you on the other side.
“Hold On” by Shawn Mendes
In “Hold On,” one of Mendes’ most uplifting songs, he embraces his fear and worries in order to let them go. The chorus’s upbeat refrain places the listener front and centre as Mendes exhorts them to keep going, even when things get difficult. It is paired with a straightforward acoustic guitar.
“Life Is Worth Living,” by Justin Bieber
Justin Bieber only wants to make sure that you are okay with the beautiful ballad “Life Is Worth Living” from 2015’s Purpose. The singer acknowledges the challenges of contemporary living in the piano-driven track, but she also extols the virtues of self-forgiveness. People make mistakes, but that doesn’t mean you have to give up, he sings in “The Meaning of Forgiveness.” It is worthwhile to live anew. Please listen.
“Confident” by Demi Lovato
Although some could refer to it as “cockiness,” Demi Lovato isn’t concerned with what they have to say. The perfect kind of mood-lifter to offer you the positive reinforcement and energy you need to rule your day is “Confident.” Why, after all, “is there anything wrong with confidence?”
