"So Inspired" is a 2011 song by Nigerian singer Waje. It also features Muna, a Nigerian rapper and model. It was released as a promotional single from her at the time upcoming debut album W.A.J.E (2013), although it was not even included on the album.[1]

The song is written from the perspective of a woman suffering from domestic violence, who despite the circumstances, rises above the trauma. The aim of the song in Waje’s own words, is “to inspire young people, females especially to continuously aspire for greatness regardless of the drawbacks in their environment and life in general.” [2]
