Music truly does make the world go ’round. From the sweet nursery rhymes thumping through our heartstrings at birth to the rhythm of life swaying our hips to the beat of its ever-sounding drum, melodies are medicine for the soul. Check out these women’s empowerment songs by plus size female artists that will add some pep to your playlist!
Unfortunately, in 2025, full-figured people are still fighting for the day that beauty isn’t measured by one’s physique and fatphobia no longer strips us of our right to be free. As if finding our place in society isn’t already a tough battlefield, many of us are suffering from the long, conditioned belief that the love we *should* have for ourselves is limited by the “obesity” we’ve been accused of “promoting.” Because of this, we often fall victim to dimming our light and forgetting just how brightly we shine.
However, through outlets like women’s empowerment songs by plus size female artists, we’re reminded that we’re allowed to bask in the broadness of our frames–no matter what that may look like. Some of us have found solace in getting in front of the camera, others (like us) have sought healing in listening to those who croon about the hardships that hurt us. Be it a harmonious tune delving into the backlash our bodies endure or a girl-power-infused rap about our capabilities to rise above, music is a therapeutic tool that allows us to let loose and mentally relieve.
Whether you’re the star of your own all-star shower concert before work or headed for a night out with the girls and need an extra burst of energy, these are bump-worthy hits that should be blaring through your speakers right now!
Women’s Empowerment Songs By Plus Size Female Artists That Will Make You Remember Who the Eff You Are
1. Lizzo – Special
In case nobody’s told you today, pop megastar Lizzo let us all know just how important we are with her 2022 bop “Special.” The chart-topper served as the title track of her fourth studio album, which was released that same year, and had a remix that featured fellow songstress SZA in 2023. Currently sitting at over 9 million views on YouTube, the official video captured the 36-year-old as a part-time superhero who singlehandedly steps in to save the day when tragedy strikes.
Our favorite line: “Fame is pretty new, but I’ve been used to people judging me / That’s why I move the way I move and why I’m so in love with me.”
2. Chyng Diamond – Sauce
Nebraska rapper Chyng Diamond created an anthem for the “big girl movement” with this one! Her single, “Sauce,” is the perfect recipe for a feel-good song for the summertime. In the 2025 visual, Diamond can be seen dropping bars into the mic as she’s busting a few moves in front of a multi-colored background. The 26-year-old rides the catchy beat with confidence-boosting lyrics, informing the naysayers that her flavor keeps the whole world talking… and we aren’t mad at it!
Our favorite line: “They used to laugh at the fat friend / Now I’m eating b*tches, no Pac-man.”
3. Chiyanti (feat. Dominique Hammons) – Big Ole Wagon
Chiyanti launched a celebration with her country-themed track “Big Ole Wagon” in 2021. The three-minute song (for sure) brought the twerkers to the dance floor, as the New York musician encouraged the ladies with the nice-sized bottoms to show off their stuff in the sassiest way possible! Chiyanti is highlighted front and center in the video, strutting to the rodeo-styled melody in a plaid-printed shirt, cowgirl hat, and jeans from the clubhouse to the ranch. As if that wasn’t already enough to keep the audience intrigued, international recording violinist Dominique Hammons’ instrument skills were on full display, complementing the hit effortlessly.
Our favorite line: “Her wagon got cake so I call her Betty Crocker / Grab a cowboy by the collar / Make him holler for a dollar.”
4. PHATGIRL – My Fupa
Atlanta lyricist PHATGIRL heated up 2022 with the unveiling of “My Fupa,” a TikTok trendsetter that saw the Georgia Peach (audaciously) paying homage to her love handles and everything else in between! PHAT delivered a five-minute visual, along with other plush baddies, flaunting their fluff at an all (plus size) girls’ car wash, which was seemingly led by the red-haired beauty. Sis proved that our weight isn’t, hasn’t, and won’t ever stop anything!
Our favorite line: “He said he like my fupa / Head huncho, big kahuna / All natural, body go bazooka.”
5. Samyra – Supermodel
Many people may know body-positive influencer Samyra for her famous bounce number “Plus-Size Freestyle,” which had social media going bonkers last year. However, her song “Supermodel” doesn’t get enough credit for the masterpiece it is! In the beautiful ballad, the New Orleans native talks about her liberating journey to blocking out the world’s opinions and embracing her inner supermodel. The subtle video chronicles Samyra prancing through a fashion boutique with a microphone in hand, singing her heart out.
Our favorite line: “I don’t care what my teacher say / I’m gonna be a supermodel, and everyone is gonna dress like me / Just wait and see, when I’m a supermodel.”
