Breakup songs are so powerful, aren’t they? They get you through a period in your life when you feel there may be no hope in your love life. No matter what stage of the breakup you’re in, there’s something for everyone to relate to and keep pulling you ahead to the other side of single-life freedom.
From heartbroken and sad to angry and bitter… and to simply having the strength to leave the past in the past, failed romances have long served as inspiration for musical artists when it comes to penning their songs. Whether you are in the throes of denial and want your ex back, processing what went wrong or finally moving on, we know full well that we can turn to music to help mend our broken hearts.
The great thing about breakup songs is that they don’t all have to be super sad. Take, for example, Miley Cyrus preaching empowerment with Flowers, Ariana Grande knowing she doesn’t have to settle with Thank U, Next, and Survivor by Destiny’s Child, making us fiercely declare our independence.
But we get it, sometimes you want to be all up in your feels, and Adele is a genius at those tear-jerking songs about the difficulty of moving on, while Robyn perfectly captures the same struggle with her powerful pop anthem, Dancing On My Own. We can also feel the pain in Dolly Parton’s voice when she begs Jolene to stay away from her man and Mohit Chauhan’s voice lamenting the possibility of what could have been in Tune Jo Na Kaha.
While the list of fantastic breakup songs out there appears to be endless, here are 61 of our favourites:
