Many women would prefer to live a lavish lifestyle. Even if they don’t make it painfully obvious, most women want to experience all of the finer things that the glamorous life has to offer.

Rapper Saucy Santana has revived the concept of embracing the high-class way of life impenitently.
Pulling inspiration from Madonna’s 1985 smash hit “Material Girl,” Saucy Santana did a booming rendition of Madonna's single, keeping the same energy as the Queen of Pop in his version. Since Saucy Santana has dropped his song “Material Girl,” it has fueled an entire TikTok movement known as the “Material Gworl'' aesthetic — the term "gworl" is used to emphasize Santana’s specific pronunciation of "girl."
The way Santana enunciated “girl” added to the fame of his record, and compelled every person who embraces being bad and boujee to categorize themselves specifically as a “Material Gworl.” Including myself. Whenever I’m in Material Gworl mode, I love listening to Saucy Santana and other music artists that make me feel like a true Boss Chick. For all the other hot girls out there, here are the 20 songs you need to have on your playlist for when you’re in your Material Gworl slash Boss Chick bag.
1."Da Baddest B***h" by Trina
Atlantic Records / Via randbeing.com
Trina's, aka the Queen of Miami, song "Da Baddest B***h" is a theme song for women that know their worth and don't put up with any bull. Trina's song is a reminder to every woman that you never remain in a situation that underserves you, as well as to always move strategically. "Da Baddest B***h" will have you in these streets unremorsefully spoiling yourself and fearlessly walking in your Material Gworl power.
2."Icy Grl" by Saweetie
Warner / Via pinterest.ca
Saweetie's breakout hit hip-hop record "Icy Grl" is great to listen to when you're feeling like a rich, hot girl. "Icy Grl" will have you wanting to order a bottle of champagne at Ruth's Chris, knowing that your bank account can only afford a margarita at Chili's. This song needs to be added to your Material Gworl playlist and listened too when you're feeling high maintenance.
3."F**k Love" by Iggy Azalea
Def Jam
Iggy's song "F**k Love" promotes working independently to achieve the opulent life instead of relying on someone else to hand it to you. "F**k Love" is an inspirational song that every self-reliant Material Gworl out there needs to add to their playlist.
4."Ice Princess" by Azealia Banks
Ice is slang for jewelry, and Azealia Banks' "Ice Princess" is a must-have on your music list if Bling-Blingin' is your thing. Anytime you want to pretend that the cubic zirconium you're rockin' are diamonds, until you get real ones, turn on "Ice Princess."
5."Bossy" by Kelis
Sony Music Entertainment
Kelis' "Bossy" exemplifies Boss Chick energy and the isms that define the Material Gworl movement.
6."No Matter What They Say" by Lil’ Kim
Atlantic
Haters gon' hate, and anyone who dares to be fabulous can't let those haters impede them from being their extravagant selves. Anytime someone tries to shame you for being a Material Gworl, just blast Lil' Kim's "No Matter What They Say," and keep it pushing.
7."Material Girl" by Madonna
Warner Bros.
The Muva of all grandiosity, Ms. Madonna told the world boldly in 1985 that she was unashamedly materialistic, and was entitled to be that way because of capitalism. Like Madonna said, "We're living in a material world," so it's okay to be a proud Material Girl. Or in this case, a Material Gworl. Put this record on when you're feeling like Hilary Banks from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.
8."Material Girl" by Saucy Santana
Saucy Santana's rendition is why we have the Material Gworl TikTok trend/aesthetic/movement. This song needs to be added to the soundtrack of your life if you consider yourself a Material Gworl.
9."Pour It Up" by Rihanna
Def Jam
Real Material Gworls can afford to blow money. Although I'm not in the tax bracket to spend freely without consequence, "Pour it Up" enables me to feel like I am each time I leave a big tip at a restaurant. It will do the same for you, too.
10."No Time" by Lil’ Kim
Atlantic / Via Global Grind
When you're making boss moves to secure the Material Gworl bag, your time is limited. Lil' Kim's "No Time" helps all Material Gworls remember not to waste time with things that won't position you to live comfortably.
11."Anna Wintour" by Azealia Banks
Azealia Banks' "Anna Wintour" will have every Material Gworl imagining themselves strutting down a runway in a haute couture outfit that is Anna Wintour-approved. True Material Gworl fashionistas know exactly who Ms. Wintour is and appreciate Azealia Banks' ode to her. The girls who get it, get it — and the girls that don't, don't.
Azealia Banks rocks the famous Anna Wintour bob hairdo in her "Anna Wintour" music video.

12."Money" by Leikeli47
RCA Records
No one likes money more than a Material Gworl, hence why "Money" by Leikeli47 is a go-to song for gworls that are having rich fantasies.
13."Did It On'em" by Nicki Minaj
Young Money
This song is great for Material Gworls who enjoy stuntin' on their fans disguised as haters.
14."I Like It" by Cardi B ft. Bad Bunny and J Balvin
Atlantic
Cardi B lists everything a Material Gworl likes in her song "I Like It." Definitely a song for those that can relate to Cardi B's expensive taste.
15."Ice Me Out" by Kash Doll
Republic
Play "Ice Me Out" each time someone asks you what you want for your birthday. Why? Because you're a Material Gworl.
16."Money" by Charli Baltimore
Epic
The 1990s rap song "Money" by Baltimore rapper Charli Baltimore is pure Boss Chick energy. If you've never heard it, then Spotify it and listen to it now. No real Material Gworl should go without hearing it at least once.
17."Diva" by Beyoncé
Columbia Records
In the words of the phenomenal Beyoncé, "a diva is a female version of a hustler." How can you live like a Material Gworl if you don't hustle? That is why "Diva" should stay on rotation when you're taking a break to enjoy luxury. It will keep you motivated to continue to earn your Material Gworl status.
18."Money" by Cardi B
Material Gworls need a lot of things, but money is the main one. Cardi B's "Money" is a song to play when you're basking in the idea of either making money moves or spending money on being bad and boujee.
19."Work B***h" by Britney Spears
RCA Records
Material Gworls have to continuously work in order to secure the lifestyle they desire. To stay focused, play Britney Spears' "Work B***h" from time to time.
20."Fancy" by Iggy Azalea
High maintenance cuties can all relate to "Fancy" by Iggy Azalea. This song hits different when you're feeling pristine and are indulging in classy festivities.
