I chose Skyscraper by Demi Lovato, as it is a song about self empowerment, and self confidence. In the song, she mentions to "try to tear her down" but instead, she's "rising from the ground, like a skyscraper." The skyscraper is a symbol of Lovato, as she is standing tall, and over the people who have hurt her. The chorus states "You can take everything I have, You can break everything I am, like I'm made of glass, like I'm made of paper. Go on and try to tear me down, I will be rising from the ground, like a skyscraper." Lovato is stating that people have hurt her before, thinking she's weak, like glass and paper, but in turn, she will rise above into a strong structure such as a skyscraper. This relates to identity, as Lovato is finding her true identity. In the past year, she has struggled with problems such as anorexia, and self harm. With this song, comes proof that Lovato will stay strong, and grounded, no matter who tries to harm her.
