Are you feeling insecure about yourself? Not sure where you stand in a relationship? Are you comparing your life to others and wondering why you don't feel like you measure up?
You are not alone. No matter who we are, where we come from, or what we have, we all, as humans, feel insecure sometimes.
The beauty in this vulnerability can come out when music artists express these feelings of insecurity in the form of a song.
Here are some of my favorite songs that focus on the topic of insecurity. I've also added these to a Spotify playlist to get into my feelings when I'm in the mood.

Excuse me for being a 90s baby, but this is the first song to pop up in my head when it comes to lyrics about insecurities! This really resonated with me in elementary and middle school as I tried to make it through my many awkward phrases.
Here's something like a throwback that always stuck with me in terms of the music.
Pink wasn't afraid to really dig into herself on this one and be vulnerable enough to say all the things she didn't like about herself at times. Way too relatable, especially in the school-age years.

Unfortunately, I can't find it on Spotify.
This one is a true throwback that I often hear in movies and shows 'til this day! "All By Myself" is the perfect song to cry in the rain with way too much dramatization if you feel like you really want to spiral.
Jay Sean came out with an underrated pop song that perfectly explains how it feels to be insecure in a relationship that's new. It's also a really good song for the summertime vibe playlists.
