20 Song Lyrics About Being Single That Will Make You Feel Seen

Who says you have to be in a relationship to have fun? Being single is so underrated, and there are a number of songs that celebrate all the benefits of being a single lady. From Lizzo to Fifth Harmony to Ariana Grande, these musicians’ lyrics about being single will make you feel like you don’t ever need a partner ever again — seriously!

When you’re single, you can focus on yourself and living your best life. If that involves being independent and building up your self-esteem, then so be it. These songs about being single are perfect for anyone who’s looking to love themselves harder, and that’s because they’re all about self-worth. Like Lizzo says, she’s her own “Soulmate,” and she’ll always be the first person to hold her down. Lizzo’s music shows that there’s nothing wrong with being alone, and if you want to feel that way, too, then I’ve got some bops to add to your next playlist.

It’s time to embrace your singledom and see life through a new lens. When you give up the notion that being in a relationship will make you happy, then you’re able to focus on the person who matters most: you. After all, just because you’re single doesn’t mean you’re alone.
