BY MARISSA BOURNIAS 01. Confident - Demi Lovato: Demi’s right. What is wrong with being confident? Nothing! And nothing is more intimidating than a fiercely confident woman. 09. Good as Hell - Lizzo: Lizzo advises us not to stay in an unhappy relationship and focus on making ourselves feel, well, good as hell.

02. GIRL - Maren Morris: If you need reassurance, Maren has you covered. Girls can get through anything with this confidence-boosting tune.
