Leave Your Man at Home: A Galentine's Day Playlist
From Diana Ross to Beyoncé, here arethe songs you need to celebrate.
Galentine's Day might've started as a bit in the Parks and Recreation universe, but Leslie Knope's holiday for celebrating her favorite women has since become an occasion for many ladies in real life.
Intended for celebration on February 13, Galentine's Day is best spent sharing the love with your closest gal pals—we recommend a potluck complete with wine and copious amounts of dessert—before sharing the following day with your sweetheart. If you're single this season, Galentine's Day and the following weekend also mark the perfect occasion to hit the town with your fellow bachelorettes, soaking in each other's companionship instead of wallowing over a lack of romance.
No matter how you're spending Galentine's Day, you need a playlist. We've compiled plenty of empowering hits—from classics and modern pop stars alike—to get your day (or night) started on the right foot.
Diana Ross, “I’m Coming Out”
Diana Ross commissioned Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, founders of disco band Chic, to help write material for her tenth album. Rodgers was inspired to write "I'm Coming Out" after seeing multiple drag queens dressed as Ross from her days in the Supremes; it's since become vital to the ballroom community, serving as an ode to self-acceptance.
