10 Iconic Songs by Sagittarius Artists That Capture the Sag Spirit
While Sagittarius is perhaps best known for being a sign of adventure, optimism and daring, and they can also be extremely musical as well.
Many of our all-time favorite artists were born between Nov. 22 and Dec. 1, following their passion and taking the risk to put aside a more traditional path in favor of following their dreams of musical stardom. Of course, their bold personalities also shine through in their incredible songs, and below, we've compiled a list of 10 iconic songs by Sagittarius artists that perfectly capture the spirit of the archer.

Billie Eilish – 'bad guy'
One of the most common traits for Sagittarius is a need for freedom and independence, and we love the sense of liberation in every line of Billie Eilish's "bad guy." It's a good reminder that, because of their brutal honesty, Sags can have edge, too, and Billie is not afraid to be the "bad guy" on her search for her own truth and sense of autonomy.

Nicki Minaj – 'Super Bass'
In relationships, Sagittarius is known for having a fun, playful attitude and not taking things too seriously, and those are precisely the vibes we get from Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass." Sags are prone to falling hard for people (even if those feelings can sometimes be fleeting), and the song comes together as a joyful celebration of the butterflies that accompany a crush.
Miley Cyrus – 'Flowers'
Miley Cyrus's "Flowers" is truly an anthem of independence for the ages. It's a celebration of self-love, reflecting Sagittarius's unending optimism, and coming to understand all of the wonderful things you can do for yourself instead of ruminating on what you may have lost. Sags truly can do it all on their own.

Britney Spears – 'Oops!… I Did It Again'
Sags can be natural flirts, unintentionally using body language or demonstrating an interested eagerness that makes the other party feel like they're making a love connection, without ever being aware of it. Other times, they totally lead people on, on purpose, because it's fun. Either way, Britney Spears' "Oops!… I Did It Again" is perfect for the situation.

Conan Gray – 'Greek God'
It's not like Sags to put too much weight into what other people think about them—especially people who aren't close to them—and we can't get enough of the way Conan Gray addresses such a situation in "Greek God." When someone tries to hurt him to make themself feel better, he sees right through their facade, standing tall and unaffected. It's a song about sticking to your guns in an inauthentic world, and nothing could be truer to the Sagittarius ethos.

Charlie Puth – 'The Way I Am'
Charlie Puth's "The Way I Am" is another powerful declaration of authenticity. With the track, Charlie gets open and honest about his struggles with anxiety and imposter syndrome, while finding comfort in completely embracing what matters to him. Just because he's a famous musician doesn't mean he needs to buckle to the expectations of one, deciding simply not to care and to do what's just right for him.

Christina Aguilera – 'Fall in Line'
There's no denying that Christina Aguilera is a pop powerhouse, but with "Fall in Line," featuring Demi Lovato, she makes one of her strongest statements yet in a message of empowerment and identity. It's your quintessential free-spirited Sagittarius move, reminding girls everywhere to not let anyone take away that spark they have—to defy any traditions or expectations if they get in the way of your passions and leading your best life.
Jelly Roll – 'I Am Not Okay'
Hope in the face of adversity is one of the defining traits of Sagittarius, distilled beautifully in "I am Not Okay" by Jelly Roll. It serves as a reminder that none of us are alone in our struggles, and that it's very much okay to not be okay. As dark as things might get, there's always the future, and things have a way of working out when you least expect them to.

Tori Kelly – 'Dear No One'
Sagittarians can sometimes feel a powerful push and pull between their desires to be free and independent and yearning for love, and few songs have expressed that contradiction so beautifully as Tori Kelly's "Dear No One." On the one hand, she's confident and happy to be on her own, with no one to hod her back. On the other, she's open to the idea of forsaking those things for true love.

Taylor Swift – 'The Archer'
"The Archer" is literally the symbol of Sagittarius, and Taylor Swift puts that imagery to great use on the track of the same name. The track likens love to war that—much like Sag's centaur archer—she's eager to jump into, despite the almost inevitable destruction it will cause. Like most Sags, she's willing to take the risk of a broken heart in the search for love, with the emotions of vulnerability, insecurity and romance getting all swirled up together in the process.
