28 Best Latin Female Anthems for Women’s History Month: Staff Picks

With International Women’s Day (March 8) just around the corner, and Women’s History Month in full swing, the editors of Billboard Latin and Billboard Español have compiled 28 of the best Latin music anthems by female artists.

The list includes powerful songs across different music genres that may have marked a before and after in the artist’s career but also became a timeless staple for their fans.

For example, música Mexicana is represented with Alicia Villarreal’s ranchera “Te Quedó Grande la Yegua,” a song about a woman who’s done taking care of her good-for-nothing partner, Jenni Rivera’s “Ovarios,” a corrido about being unapologetic and unbothered, and Selena Quintanilla’s heartfelt mariachi “Qué Creías,” where she tells her ex that she has moved on.

We also have urban bangers on the list: such as Becky G and Karol G’s “MAMIII,” where the two go drop hard-hitting verses about their exes, Ivy Queen’s classic perreo “Quiero Bailar,” where she explores her sensuality in the dance floor and demands respect, and “Linda” by Tokischa and Rosalía, a track about two girlfriends who are having fun on their own terms. And there’s also more recent releases like Ha*Ash and Thalia’s “Amiga Date Cuenta,” which exudes pure female camaraderie; Cazzu’s corrido bélico “DOLCE,” about recovering from a romantic betrayal; and Elena Rose’s self-love anthem “Me Lo Merezco.”

Moreover, you will also find some Latin pop essentials: including Natalia Jiménez’s “Creo En Mí,” where she powerfully chants about believing in herself, Natti Natasha’s “La Mejor Versión de Mí,” one of her most ultra-personal songs yet about discovering her self-worth, and Olga Tañón’s “Basta Ya,” penned by Marco Antonio Solís, a song where she finds the courage to leave a toxic relationship.

Whether it’s about resilience, embracing your self-love, or blossoming after a heartbreak, see our 25 best female Latin anthems below, organized alphabetically by artist.
