In a world where empowerment pulses through the airwaves and our veins, one name comes above all others: Beyoncé. The Queen Bey herself has claimed her throne not just as a music icon but as a symbol of strength and empowerment for women around the world. She said it best when she said "Girls, we run this motha". With her powerful vocals, incredible performances, and unapologetic self, Beyoncé has made it her legacy to teach women we are beautiful, we are strong, we are smart and we come in all shapes and sizes.

From her early days as a Destiny's Child to her going solo and owning the music industry, Beyoncé's journey has been a story of resilience and empowerment. Each lyric she writes, each note she hits, makes you remember YOU are in power. YOU are enough.

This could be debatable but I believe her album "Lemonade" which came out in 2018 was one of the most powerful albums front to back - of our time. It describes the emotional journey she went through dealing with the infidelity of her husband, JayZ, and her feeling betrayed but then realized her power and how we as women can overcome anything that comes our way.

From commanding stages to inspiring generations, Beyoncé's impact on women's empowerment is untouchable. Through her music, she has become a voice for the voiceless, a voice for change, and a symbol of strength for women everywhere. So, to all the single ladies, the flawless queens, and the girls who run the world, let's raise a glass to our Queen, Beyoncé—the ultimate queen of empowerment and empowerment songs. Bow down - long live the Queen Bey!

We put together the 5 most women empowerment songs Beyoncé has released, though there are far more than just 5. It was hard to narrow down but I think we got it.

1. Run The World (Girls)

If this isn't the ultimate girl power anthem I don't know what is "Run the World (Girls)" is not just a song; it's a declaration of independence. The beat the lyrics. Chef's kiss. She made it clear who runs the world.

2. Flawless

In a world obsessed with perfection, Beyoncé flips that on its head with "Flawless". She celebrates imperfection with a badge of honor. I woke up like this. Self love and confidence.

3. Formation

When Beyoncé dropped "Formation" I screamed for hours and the world stopped! She celebrated her roots and addressed social injustice. Once again being unapologetically herself.

4. Single Ladies

This list would not be complete if "Single Ladies" was not on it. One of the greatest songs and videos of all time. This song screams - know your worth, demand respect, and never settle for anything less than you deserve. Singe or taken this song slaps!

5. Irreplaceable

Gotta have a breakup song in here right? And not a sad one. One that serves you a dose of empowerment. Beyoncé reminded women in this track that they don't need no man to define their worth!!!! To the left to the left...
