La La Land by Demi Lovato also talks abou being yourself. I Won't Apologize by Selena Gomez talks about not apologizing for who you are Hard by Rihanna has empowering lyrics and is a cool song to dance to

For the record, I first heard this song when someone else posted it on this forum in a similar thread, so if that person was planning on posting it again, sorry.

Location: DFW area, Texas Age: 24 Posts: 2,503 Join Date: Apr 2009 | Re: Inspirational Coming Out Songs I'm not so sure it's explicitly about coming out of the closet, buuuuut...
Makes me so incredibly happy inside. <3 (The song doesn't start until 11 seconds in for some weird reason, and the actual music video is embedding disabled.) I didn't find that until a few weeks ago, though! Personally, one of the songs that I listened to constantly when I was coming to terms with myself was actually this one -
"Do you know what it's all about Are you brave enough to figure out Know that you could set your world on fire If you are strong enough to leave your doubts" It just resonated with me, for some reason. Even though the video is like what they would've found in the wreckage of an exploded Hot Topic.
