The funk-pop supernova took home an award for ‘Best Dance Performance’ last year.

If there is one artist who can get you moving on the dancefloor, it is Lizzo. From her hit funk song, “Juice,” to “About Damn Time,” it is clear that Lizzo knows how to start any party and keep it going. The Grammy-award-winning artist is about ensuring her fans feel accepted and confident.

The “Truth Hurts” singer is about her performances feeling like one big dance party and has become the queen of empowerment pop. It is no wonder why she took home the award for Best Dance Performance for her hit song “About Damn Time” last year.

In honor of the upcoming Soul Train Awards 2023, let’s reflect on some of Lizzo’s best hits that have us on the dancefloor.

  • Juice

    Who could forget Lizzo’s retro-funk hit “Juice” from her third album, Cuz I Love You? The track will get you on your feet and sing along to her empowering lyrics. In the three-minute track, Lizzo tells the haters she has the juice and goals. A song like that is a perfect reminder to keep your head up while getting loose simultaneously. The record earned her a nomination for “Best Dance Performance” and “Song of the Year” at the Soul Train Awards 2019 and won an award for “Video of the Year.” Lizzo definitely has the juice.

  • Grrls

    When it comes down to it, Lizzo is all about women empowering women, and so if you’re looking for a song that does just that and gets your neck bobbing to a good beat, “Grrls” is just the song for you. The upbeat record samples “Girls” from Beastie Boys. In the track, Lizzo asks, “where my girls at?” and sings about looking for a good time with her girls for a night on the town.

  • Everybody’s Gay

    In the retro disco track, Lizzo tells listeners to take their masks off and be themselves on a night out. She sings about dancing the night away in a safe place where you won’t be judged for being who you are. Throughout her career, the “About Damn Time” singer has made it her mission to make each song a safe space and escape for fans who feel misunderstood or like outcasts. This song is the right amount of fun and escapism.

  • Birthday Girl

    In this fun upbeat track, Lizzo gives a shout-out to the fabulous women who have been her ride-or-die supporters from the very beginning. In the song, Lizzo gives a shout to the baddies who want to celebrate themselves or anyone who has been around for all of the highs and lows. The song may not officially be about birthdays, but it's a song that can be played during a night out to celebrate yourself and those around you.

  • Tempo ft Missy Elliot

    Lizzo and the iconic Missy Elliot are a match made in heaven for producing a solid trap bop. In the club bop “Tempo,” Lizzo and Elliot rap about body acceptance and celebrating thick women. But it's not just a song for thick girls; it's for any girl looking for a good time out with the girls.

  • 2Be Loved (I Am Ready)

    In this profoundly personal pop track, Lizzo sings about whether she’s ready to be loved when she doesn’t love herself. It’s the kind of song you can blast in the car by yourself or with your girls and the type of track you can sing along to at the club as you dance the night away. Our girl Lizzo doesn’t just make bops for radio play; she creates songs you can connect to while also enjoying a night on the town.

  • About Damn Time

    This timeless, uplifting disco bop is about celebrating how far you’ve come and a celebration of survival in the face of hardships. The track won “Record of The Year” at the 65th Grammy Awards, making her the first Black woman to win the award since Whitney Houston and her smash hit “I Will Always Love You.” She was nominated for “Song of the Year” and “Best Solo Performance” for the smash hit. Lizzo is the queen of making bops with an uplifting message.
