Ahead of her new album Bitch, a fresh ranking of Lizzo’s back catalogue underscores how she expertly fuses self-empowerment anthems with humour and party-starting energy. From early mixtape cuts to recent singles, her versatility shines through.
Among the standout tracks is ‘Batches & Cookies’, an early underground hit that pairs a massive breakbeat with warp-speed rapping and an unforgettable hook. The title track of Cuz I Love You showcases her powerhouse vocals, while ‘Water Me’ offers an irresistible explosion of dancefloor joy.
Other highlights include ‘Ride’ from the underrated Big Grrrl Small World, a tough but catchy bridge between her hip-hop origins and pop success, and a freewheeling freestyle from her 2025 mixtape My Face Hurts from Smiling that takes aim at negative press. Even her contributions to the Barbie soundtrack – the fluffy, wilfully lightweight ‘Pink’ – get a mention.
Whether she’s rapping about nondiscriminatory dating in ‘Boys’ or celebrating female empowerment in ‘Like a Girl’, the ranking confirms Lizzo’s ability to deliver infectious, memorable songs that transcend genre. Fans can look forward to more of that on her forthcoming album.
