    i love that song!
    i always listen to it when i'm feeling low...

    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 (!)

    It takes a little bit of interpretation to see it as a coming out song, but I always liked Within Temptation's "Stand My Ground" as a personal empowerment song.

    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. :frowning2:

    the song numb by linkin park is a good one because it is saying I want to be me, one line "i want to be more like me, and less like you"

    I'm not so sure it's explicitly about coming out of the closet, buuuuut...

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNeM4zwadt0[/YOUTUBE]

    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 -

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXMeZwO2qZ0[/YOUTUBE]

    "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.

    I think this song could fit in...

    [YOUTUBE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4GmLRTJq1w&feature=related[/YOUTUBE]

    I wonder why this got moved to chit chat, I think these songs are supportive

    Oh well =\

    I love this song even though I'm not out. I'm surprised this one isn't posted either.
