Songs About Self-Love

Rare tunes about masturbation from Macy Gray and more.

The Pussycat Dolls, 'I Don't Need a Man' - The Pussycat Dolls let the world know they were self-sufficient when they recorded "I Don't Need a Man," from their 2005 debut. The message was quite obvious as they sang, "I don't need a man to make me feel good / I get off doing my thing... / So let me break it down / I can get off when you ain't around."(Photo: Matthew Simmons/WireImage)
Kelly Rowland, 'Feeling Me Right Now' - Kelly hit the club and had a ball as she found the right person to go home with — herself — on this self-pleasing track off her album Here I Am. Getting in the mood, she sings, "So back, back, back it up, you're the one I got my eye on / Don't give me your number, its already in my iPhone / I just want you close, close, close, close, nearer / Been watching you all night up in the mirror."(Photo: Daniel Zuchnik/Getty Images)
Ne-Yo, 'She Uses Me (Masturbation)' - Ne-Yo knows how women feel about him and championed ladies to use his music for any way they pleased when he flipped Kelly Rowland's "Motivation." "She rubbing lotion on her body / Pretending that her hands are mine / Touching herself how she want me to touch her / I'm not a star in her mind, I'm her lover."(Photo: Kevin Winter/Getty Images)
Missy Elliott, 'Toyz' - Missy kicked her male friend out the bed on this track from her fifth album, This Is Not a Test!, in 2003. Getting straight to the point, Misdemeanor sang, "I keep my butterfly close when you don't wanna be bothered / Don't come waking me up, 'cause I ain't giving you nada / 'Cause I got me a toy."(Photo: Don Arnold/Getty Images)
