I avoid modern pop music in general... But I'm sorry, I will always have a soft spot for "Baby one more time" by Britney.

I would add "I want it that way" but let's be real, every dude secretly likes that song.

Lots of Britney, Gaga and Gwen Stefani.

However specifically for this question, 7 Ring by Ariana Grande and I have no explanation why.

Whenever I hear Salute by Little Mix, I bop along. How could you not?

These boots were made for walking

It's raining men

Man! I feel like a woman!

Tons of great "girl" songs that I'll belt when they come on. Besides all the Broadway and show tunes that I love.

Music is music. A good song transcends girl or boy.

Such an oddly gendered question for no reason.

Wtf is a "girl song"???

Did a 5yo write this question?

Surprised how nobody mentioned "Everytime We Touch" by Cascada

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I really like the Electric Callboy cover of it. You should listen to it.

Man I love those guys.

Literally anything by Baby Queen.

Or, for a throwback, Cry For You by September.

Cant get over it from Burnout Paradise on the PS3.

I don't care that I'm a 30 something man. I'll sing that and Complicated at full volume.

[โ€“] [email protected] -1 points 4 months ago

Played that game on my switch. I honestly don't see what's so great about it.

Burnout Paradise is going to stay in my all time hall of fame till I die.

Video game OSTs are some of the best nostalgia drugs ever.

This may not exactly answer your question, but I saw a question the other day on another platform "Men, what song that is sung by a female vocalist do you sing with all your heart?" Below was my answer to that question.

Love Story - Tayler Swift

Fast Car - Tracy Chapman

Ashes - Celine Dion

Waterfalls - TLC

Jolene - Dolly Parton

Fucking Perfect - Pink!

Hello - Adele

Higher Love - Whitney Houston

Beyond The Burning Skies - Battle Beast

I Get Off - Lizzy Hale

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Oh man, I literally can't answer this. I mainline EDM, I would end up laundry listing a hundred or so vocalists.

I'll just say that JES is legendary and I have a playlist that's like 15 hours of electronica with her vocals and it rules.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

I've had Girls Aloud in my rotation recently. Their songs are just fun and really catchy. Also have The Veronicas, Brittany Spears, Taylor Swift etc...

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Someone already posted my first thought, No Doubt- Just a Girl, so I'll add some modern songs.

Doechii- Black Girl Memoir

Megan Thee Stallion - Anxiety

Secretly? My Type by Saweetie. Trashiest lyrics you've ever heard but it really helps energize me in the mornings

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago
[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 4 months ago

Tori Amos's Silent All These Years. That mercurial little piano riff. The painful lyrics. The liberation of the middle eight. It's a perfect song.
