Honeybees, did you know Valentine’s Day isn’t the only day people celebrate in February? There’s also Singles’ Awareness Day, where people celebrate the thought and their love of being single, and then there’s Galentine’s Day. Galentine’s Day is a day that falls on the day before Valentine’s Day, February 13, and is all about celebrating the power and love of friendships. Here at The Honey POP, we want to spotlight the special day. Whether you celebrate the day of, the weekend, or even a week later, we’re here to give you ten songs for your next Galentine’s Day party. We’re not saying you should have a party but you should definitely have a party for you and your friends.
‘For The Girls’ by ASTON
“I dress up for the girls
And I go out for the girls
Look super hot for the girls“
We have to start this list off with a bang and on a huge note. Meghan Trainor’s ‘No’ walked, so ‘For the Girls’ could run. When we say that, we mean the song gives us the same vibes as Meghan’s, which is one reason we can’t help but suggest it for a Galentine’s Day party playlist. The song is about shutting down the notion that men tend to have when it comes to women and thinking that they do stuff to impress or gain their attention. Instead of saying she does things for me, she says everything she does is for herself and the girls. The bold and unapologetic anthem is about friendship, independence, and self-love.

‘Ladies Night’ by Red Velvet
“Unforgettable ladies, ladies, ladies night
The stories, stories that pile up fill this night up to the brim”
A Galentine’s Day party playlist isn’t complete without a feel-good dance song. Red Velvet’s ‘Ladies Night’ is about enjoying a night with your friends whether y’all are staying inside or going out. Nights like those are about having fun and making memories with your squad. Those things as well as being carefree while doing it. This song is the perfect reason to grab your friends and do something together, even if it’s not having a party.

‘See Me Win’ by Reyna Roberts
“Y’all gonna see me win“

We all have dreams we want to make happen for ourselves and have dreams we want to see them achieve.

‘Monica Lewinsky’ by UPSAHL
“I wanna make, wanna make history (Like who?)
Like Britney! Like Lindsay
Stunna like Monica Lewinsky (So cute)”
Empowering, unapologetic, chaotic, rebellious—these are a few words to describe this UPSAHL song. It’s all about being unapologetic and doing whatever you want. The playful song serves as one that celebrates a few women who have made an impact even though many people dragged their names through the dirt. UPSAHL wants to be great and make an impact too. We have to say she’s on her way with the bops she has. Nothing’s wrong with being rebellious while trying to do so.

‘Chosen Family’ by Rina Sawayama
“We don’t need to be related to relate
We don’t need to share genes or a surname
You are, you are
My chosen, chosen family“
A Galentine’s Day party playlist should include inclusive LGBTQIA+ songs. There are many songs we could’ve chosen, but ‘Chosen Family’ by Rina Sawayama is that song. The song was written with the community in her mind. It’s about having a group of people you’re comfortable with being around, people who get you, understand you, people who are like you but not exactly like you, people who you connect with on a deep level. Being able to have a chosen family when it comes to the LGBTQIA+ community is important in many ways. Knowing they have the chosen family you want within a friend group could feel like one of the best things ever.

‘Pretty Girl Era’ by LU KALA
“I don’t care, I’m in my pretty girl era
I’ma stare when I see myself in the mirror, oh-oh”
While celebrating Galentine’s Day could be about celebrating your friendship with the people you hold near and dear to your heart, you should also be celebrating yourself. ‘Pretty Girl Era’ by LU LU KALA is one of the best songs to celebrate yourself with. The empowering song is all about self-love and celebrating who the amazing and unique person you are. Lastly, the song is full of affirmations your squad could sing at the top of your lungs. Who doesn’t love a good song full of affirmations?

‘figured u out’ by thủy
“Took some time to figure it out
You ain’t clever, I know better (I know better)”
Who doesn’t love a good breakup song? There’s always a chance, whether small or big, that someone at a Galentine’s party might be going through a breakup. We hope not! But sometimes that’s the case even if it’s something that happened a few weeks, months, or even a year ago. Thuy’s song ‘figured u out’ is a great track to play even if it’s just because you feel like it. The song is about moving on because you’ve realized your ex was the worst. Celebrate no longer having to deal with them or even your friends no longer having to deal with their ex.

‘Tantrum’ by Charlotte Sands
“I’m throwin’ a tantrum
Comin’ in so chaotic
Yeah, this is an anthem“
We tried to have only one song about rebellion on the list, but we couldn’t help but put this song by Charlotte Sands on our list. The song gives us all the angsty vibes. It’s about saying how you feel and feeling all of your emotions despite others thinking you’re doing “too much.” Some people often have a problem with people who feel a lot, and think those people need to “calm down,” among other things. The singer lets it be known she won’t do what she’s told to do just to make others feel comfortable. She’s all about expressing herself in her way and not in ways others want her to do. If that’s not a mood!

‘the AUDACITY’ by emlyn
“Oh, where do all these men find the audacity? (Yeah)
Because I think I’m at c-c-capacity
Maybe I missed it, maybe I’m behind“
It’s ‘the AUDACITY’ for us! This song is a call out to men, but not just any and not all men. She calls out men who feel entitled and the need to give their unsolicited opinions or mansplain things to women. emlyn isn’t trying to hear it and knows everyone else couldn’t care less about things they have to say. She’s over it and lets it be known she’s over it. The song, while it specifically aims at men who do it, could be about anyone in someone’s life who’s like what’s mentioned in the song. Either way, someone perceives the song, it makes a good angsty song to enjoy with your friends at your next Galentine’s Day party.

‘My Girlfriends Are My Boyfriend’ by Demi Lovato ft. Saweetie
“Yeah, my girlfriends are my boyfriend
But we’re never gonna break up”
Last on the list is this song by Demi Lovato. ‘My Girlfriends Are My Boyfriend’ is all about friendships and celebrating the people you call friends. They consider their friends their soulmates and the ones they can count on in every way, shape, and form. Demi and Saweetie are willing to do anything for them—no questions asked. It’s a beautiful song about how much friends mean to one another.
