SPOILERS for the Girlboss finale ahead. There's no denying that Netflix's Girlboss series has great songs. The show plays with genres and years and styles to take us back to a simpler time: The early 2000s when Sophia was trying to launch Nasty Gal. But, there is one track in particular that really sums up the show. I'll Come Crashing from Girlboss Episode 12 and the finale is a song from A Giant Dog and its lyrics fit Sophia to a T. It's probably why she doesn't like the song all that much (that, and, you know, the whole Shane thing).
Nothing in my nature tells me not to do bad thingsI know that I really should be good tonightThere's a kind of satisfaction that destruction bringsConsequences never could convince me that I should do right
I mean, they might as well literally be singing about Sophia. Every time you want her to make the right choice she makes the wrong one — at least in the beginning. She does grow a bit during the series. Perhaps that's why the song is hard for her, because it also reminds her of a time when she was a lot more reckless.

Again, a lot of Sophia's struggles are of her own design, which makes it all the more frustrating when she refuses to acknowledge that during parts of the show.
Mama always told me I should have certain planDaddy always told me how to be a straight up guyAlways tell the truth and never have a thing to hideBut I'm gonna shoot the moon and watch it fall from the sky
Given Sophia's own parental situation these lyrics are also extremely fitting (minus the mom one, maybe, who is just as wild as her daughter). What I like about this verse though is the positive line it ends on. Sophia

Shooting for the moon, and maybe it will fall at times, but she's going for it. That's what makes her such an interesting protagonist to watch and such a total girlboss IRL.

Girlboss Season 1 Soundtrack (complete Track Listing)
Soundtrack features so many empowering songs. Throughout the series' 13 episodes, these tunes capture the spirit of Amoruso's dramatized journey, especially her independent attitude.
In one of the show's opening sequences, the character Sophia, feeling triumphant from her purchase of a perfect-condition vintage jacket but now flat broke, dumpster dives for a bagel and steals a rug. It establishes a running theme of the show; this is a woman with little care for conventions or consequences. In the background, the punk band Bikini Kill's single Rebel Girl plays. Aside from the obvious thematic relevance of the song, the band's presence in the show is symbolically significant. In the 90s, Bikini Kill paved the way for women in the male-dominated punk genre, a feat that singer Kathleen Hanna has openly described the difficulties of. One of the themes of the series is Amoruso's carving out a space for herself in the business world, and this song serves as a preface for this theme. The rest of the tunes in the show are equally relevant to the show's theme of female empowerment.
The show depicts Sophia's quest for the right name for her business, and it's one she only found after a rowdy night in a San Francisco club. Sophia screams the words to Davis' 70s funk hit, and thus her business is born. Davis' was also a pioneer, and was considered a visionary soul singer and creator ahead of her time. There might be more than one reason this song resonated with the show creators, and why it may have resonated with Amoruso in the early days of her business.

Kathleen Hanna is all over this soundtrack, and TKO was the singer's first big hit with her electro-punk band Le Tigre. The song is a hit back at the critics, especially those who assume to know Hanna. It's interesting that the series would start with this song, as it is sort of a nod to Amoruso's career. Even with all the exposure, Sophia defies understanding. Also, Le Tigre's colorful, danceable music fits the energy the series tries to capture.
This song came out in 2007 as an alleged response from Yelle to the misogynistic antics of French rapper Cuizinier, although Yelle told Aural States that it's not a diss track. It's a ruthless track that mocks the rapper, but is also about not taking any knocks and self-empowerment. It's the kind of track that Sophia would listen to back in the day on Mypace (where it was first posted), but one can still enjoy it today.
This song is about picking yourself back up again, and that fits Sophia's story well. Sophia is a profoundly imperfect character: in her personal and professional life, she makes big mistakes. However, she's also a young character, and since the show is at least in part about growing up and finding a path, this song fits.

This song, like many of the others featured on the series, relies heavily on the themes of dreaming and trailblazers. It first appeared in the Working Girl, a 1980 film about a secretary who poses as her boss to broker a deal with an investment banker. It relates to the show in the thematic ways, but it also has a history in movies about entrepreneurial women.
Nobody embodies confidence more than the Karen O, the fearless lead singer of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. If you use the Gold Lion in this song as a metaphor for ambition, it is a fitting reflection of Sophia's pursuit of financial success.
AII my life I wanted to be somebody and here I am! I know what I've got and there ain't nobody gonna take it away from me, Suzi Quatro sings in the opening lines of this track. It's the kind of attitude Sophia takes in the show, as she is rightfully protective and proud of the success that she cultivated.

However, it is another song with an empowering backstory; Quatro was the first female bass player to become a major star, and broke new ground for women in rock music.
Soundtrack is filled with musical pioneers, and these songwriter and band's accomplishments alone are inspiring. However, these tunes also feature empowering lyrics, and just listening to these tracks can inspire confidence.
