Beautiful was my jam in high school. I had low self esteem due to comparing myself to more popular girls & how pretty they were. As a person who supports LBGTQ rights I am happy this song is a Queer anthem.

gotta say, i didn't like Born This Way that much at first (the song itself, not the message behind it), but it grew on me quickly. it has an overwhelmingly positive message for self-acceptance and the fact that it's backed up by a joyful dance-pop sound is even better.

"Spring Day" by BTS.. (in advance, BTS could never openly admit this tho) since they could not just simply critize the korean government openly for their behaviour for letting 304 people (including 250 students) die, they made this song which was initially made about a never-ending longing and the pain of losing someone/a friend.. but the MV is referencing the movie "Snowpiercer" and the book "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas", which are about oppression and willful blindness, including a lot of references to the incident..

One song that grabs my heart is Katy Perry's "your a firework". I was often bullied growing up and that song gives me courage to face anything. Her, Lady Gaga, Pink and Christina Aguilera: they have changed how we see the world, and those we see as "different". We need more powerful women in our world like that.

I think Because Of You or Piece By Piece would be a better for Kelly in this kind of list. Stronger is a kind of basic recovering from a break up type of song. Because Of You and Piece By Piece are songs about her rough home life and not wanting to be like her dad, which is a more serious issue many can relate to.

My mom passed away in 2009. When I heard "Born This Way", it reminded of my mother so much that I started crying.

Michael Jackson's "Heal the World" "Will You Be There" "Black or White" "Man in the Mirror" "Earth Song" or even "Beat It" would be great for another list.

The Beatles song Help! Is about John Lennon's cry for help in the mid 60s when he was feeling depressed and insecure! Its a very catchy, perfect and just beautiful song!

Christina Aguilera successfully reinvented herself from being forced to be Britney copycat by her label, but in her sophomore album ''stripped'' she's done with bubblegum pop

Tbh when I was a teenager and suddenly all those perfect, beautiful, skinny singers would tell me that I should stop feeling ugly while THEY were the reason I felt like that was like a slap in the face to me.

Scars to your beautiful by Alessia Cara should be on this list and Chandelier by Sia is an important song that is about her almost taking her own life.

I'm stunned that there was no mention of "Rhythm Nation" by Janet Jackson. The song... the album itself tackles serious issues that are very relevant to this day!

Really, you could've easily included several Michael Jackson songs. Man In The Mirror, Heal The World, They Don't Care About Us, Earth Song. All those are some examples and the best known ones.

I’m 62. MIA? Oh yeah! Love her. Makes me wonder, trying to remember, a Madonna video, with MIA & Nicki Manaj. And MIA? “my chain hit my chest when I’m banging on the dashboard…. “. From the first time I was aware of her and her talent. Having memory problems, I’m able to “find” her over and over.

i'd also add the song Tightrope on the list look it up it has some lyrics talking about racism and there is a reason it was sung on zoey's extraordinary playlist as much as I do agree with number 1 born this way by lady gaga is amazing! there is other songs too that also deserve to be on this list like for examples because of you by kelly clarkson (stronger by kelly clarkson is also good too but because of you pulls at my heartstrings with its relatability to the carnage of divorce on families and this song makes me cry everytime) I totally agree with how to save a life by the fray and no tears left to cry by ariana grande my mom loves the song perfect by P!nk but now I know the context of the song thanks to this video
