The best introvert songs to unite us introverts (but separately!)

When looking at popular songs it can sometimes seem as everyone is celebrating that extrovert lifestyle. Songs about parties, dancing in crowds, and, of course, all those love songs.

But as an introvert, it can be nice to sometimes listen to lyrics that talk about OUR experiences! Songs that are honest about feeling really alone and overwhelmed at a crowded house party. Or songs talking about alone time being the perfect way to decompress.

Does that sound like you? Then I have the perfect playlist for you!

13 introvert songs to make you feel understood and inspire confidence in taking that alone time you need!

1. “Too precious” – Em Beihold

If you haven’t heard of Em Beihold, you need to change that quickly. She’s the queen of writing relatable and honest lyrics and all of her songs are super catchy.

The whole song is about setting some boundaries as an introvert, and unapologetically taking the space to be who she is: someone who prefers staying at home instead of partying and being wild.

Just check out these lyrics:

“I’ve got my own idea of fun
Don’t need to get drunk at the club
And start kissing strangers
Don’t like the danger
I like to stay at home at night
You think it’s lame, but I’m alright
Don’t need your two cents
On my life events”

“Too precious”, Em Beihold

“Too precious”, first verse

2. “Me, Myself & I” – G-Eazy, Bebe Rexha

This whole song is a celebration of being with yourself and being good with that. And it’s a bop!

Favorite line from this song:

3. “It’s my party” – Lesley Gore

This song was a Social media hit a while ago – and with good reason. While the lyrics are about some unrequited love, the chorus totally hits a nerve.

Every sensitive person ever wishes they could live their feelings this unapologetically!

4. “Here” – Alessia Cara

Alessia Cara wrote the introvert song every introvert wants to sing into their extrovert friends’ faces. If you have the time, this is also one of the music videos to check out. You’ll see Alessia hating being at a house party, ditching small talk and craving some much needed alone time. RELATABLE!

5. “Solitude is bliss” – Tame Impala

With this song, the title is exactly what you get. It describes how being alone can truly be a happy place.

6. “human” – Cristina Perri

Obviously you can interpret this song to be about personal relationships in general. About how things can get too much and then we fall apart.

But, as introverts tend to internalise their struggles until they break down, alone, at home, it’s especially relatable to us.

7. “going out” – Role Model

Now, this next song comes with a little bit of a disclaimer. Introversion doesn’t mean shyness, social anxiety or depression necessarily. However, those things can very well all be there at the same time.

And while this song describes a rather depressive state, the chorus is super relatable for every introvert who just wants to stay home, please.

8. “Introverted (with extroverted expectations)” – Carla Wehbe

This song is beautifully honest in talking about an experience that most introverts can relate to very well: wanting to stay home while at the same time wishing your friends would invite you more often. You don’t want to go, but you want to know they want you there and like you. Even if you don’t join. An “introvert with extroverted expectations”, as Carla sings.

9. “Good thing” – Zedd, Kehlani

The worst stereotype ever? That introverts don’t know how to have fun. They do, but usually there is no one around to see when they’re the happiest.

This song is a celebration of being there for yourself – and enjoying it!

10. “instagram” – DEAN

Okay, sometimes we love being alone and we celebrate it. And then there are those evenings where we get trapped in doom scrolling. This K-pop song talks about this experience, when you know you’re wasting your time but somehow can’t stop.

11. “Cool Kids” – Echosmith

There is nothing wrong with being an introvert. And still, if we’re being really honest, sometimes we just want to be like those social butterflies who everyone seems to know and love.

Because being alone a lot sometimes can feel like you’re the odd one out.

You’re not! Still, if you feel like this, sing your heart out to this song!

12. “Soul to Squeeze” – Red Hot Chili Peppers

Even the good old Red Hot Chili Peppers have a perfect introvert song in their portfolio. Don’t we all know this moment where we just have to get away from it all to “find ourselves again” before we can come back to being a good friend, partner, or simply person?

13. “Everybody but me” – Lykke Li

This song is the perfect description of the sensory experience of being an introvert at a party. Feeling like everything’s uncomfortable, hoping no one notices you, wondering what to do.
