(R-E-S-P-E-C-T!).

A classic in the genre of Songs to Cry to in Clubs, this 1988 electrodisco anthem tells the tale of a cheating heart haunted by its infidelity. You won’t sound as good as Janis, but you’ll certainly feel a hell of a lot better afterward. The song appeared on the iconic British outfit's ninth and highest-charting album, Wish, and is a perfect storm of drifting synths, distant guitar echoes and unflinching lyrics. It feels eavesdropping on a conversation with an ex lover, as they admit “love is just a lie made to make you blue.”. Well, maybe look to the left, to the left.

This classic hit by the Swedish group ABBA is guaranteed to lift your spirits. Need a musical pick-me-up?

What’s more, she’s helpless: She notices the way her man is chatting up another girl and knows right then and there that, no matter how much she cares for him, it’s all over. Pair it with “Silver Springs” for maximum effect.

Squeeze wrote one of the catchiest songs ever about what lovers leave behind in “Black Coffee in Bed.”. “Torn” has taken a turn for the over-covered and over-memed these days, but you’re lying if you say you don’t still hit that chorus every time. Take a walk down memory lane by recalling the iconic relationship between pop darlings Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears. “Dancing On My Own” by Robyn has such a great beat that it can almost seem less sad than it is—but her vocals sound as heartbreaking as the lyrics are. If you’ve recently broken up with lovers, with ideas, with truths, with lies, terrible jobs, or outdated ways of being, this is the playlist for you.

The title says it all about this blues classic: John Lee Hooker embraces karma’s treatment of a no-good ex, one of the best exercises in schadenfreude ever. Who could forget the iconic scene from Laguna Beach where Laguna bad boy Jason Wahler leaves his longtime girlfriend high and dry to secretly play poker with Alex Murrel? (Don't worry: We didn't!) The lines suggest that there’s at least a chance.

You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cry some more—but overall, you'll be glad you added this one to your playlist. If you don't remember these songs, nothing's right—you're torn. (Lindsey Buckingham, of course, has been known to belt out a sweetly caustic breakup anthem or two himself.) Whitney Houston released the ultimate girl power hit in 1998 with "It's Not Right but It's Okay." Need we say more? “Nobody said it was easy,” croons Chris Martin.

Swift cemented her status as breakup song queen with “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” the lead single from Red.

—Harvilla, Most heartbreaking line: “Wonder this time where she’s gone / Wonder if she’s gone to stay”, To make a song from 1971 about a video game from 2010: Dante’s Inferno is an RPG based loosely on the first canticle of the Divine Comedy.
You are posting comments too quickly. This might not be the only reason the song fades out but there’s no real suitable ending point for the last notes of the chorus, so it always drops back into a verse or a bridge or another chorus. Curl up in this 1961 tune's velvety vocals and keening pedal steel, and just let it all out. Lemonade was inspired by true events—i.e., it’s Beyoncé coming to terms with Jay-Z being unfaithful. 20 Hottest Hot Sauces for the Spiciest of Taste Buds, Grab Your Carts!

Drake spirals, telling her he’s “had sex four times this week / I can explain,” that he’s sponsoring women, that he can’t stop partying and asking for naked pictures. Sometimes we just need a gentle reminder of what's important, am I right? Harry Nilsson keeps it quite simple in this classic: “You’re breaking my heart / You’re tearing it apart / So f*ck you.” We couldn’t have said it better ourselves.

Sometimes the hardest part of breaking up is admitting you're not right, or even good, for each other.

You know the story by now: In 2006, Justin Vernon broke up with his girlfriend, packed up his car, and drove into the Wisconsin wilderness, emerging only after recording an album of weepy breakup songs.

It’s the world-shattering moment when you give up the fight. The original is great, but there’s something so much more empowering about the Thunderpuss Remix. But during every emotional uncoupling comes the point where you gaze into the mirror, stick your finger in your reflection’s chest, and tell them to stop being such a dumb, whiny baby. In this 2018 chart-topper, Halsey sings of a difficult breakup (with G-Eazy, perhaps?).
I can do better.

Nothing, but we appreciate this 1980s knockout hit anyway. “You Oughta Know” totally scandalized my mom every time it came on the radio in the ’90s, and what’s more, it features both Flea on bass and Dave Navarro on the guitar. Plus, I organized them by post-breakup feels. Ah, the tears of a clown. Get ’Em Here!

Sometimes, when nursing a broken heart, you need to stomp the poor thing into the pavement. When the first two seconds of the infamous beat come through my speakers, I’m already changing the station. Its setup is simple—two lovers remember the happy times even as they part, via Cohen’s sweet, sad lyrics: “You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me / It’s just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea.” What makes it a classic, however, is how upbeat Cohen’s picked guitar, mouth harp and evocative similes feel against the reality of the situation, deftly demonstrating that losing someone can be painful but cathartic. The moment it dawns on you that your ex wasn't that great, play this song.

And Patsy understands. Whitney Houston made this song mega-famous in The Bodyguard, but Dolly Parton ‘s vocals perfectly conveyed in her 1974 original version that this is actually a super-sad breakup song. Dolly Parton wrote and recorded this song in 1973 as a rueful envoi for her mentor and champion, Porter Wagoner, and later reprised it in the 1982 movie musical The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas. And in honor of Valentine’s Day, we decided to dig deep into the genre. Miley Cyrus had one of her biggest hits ever with “Wrecking Ball.” The power ballad, reportedly originally written for Beyoncé, dropped as she was splitting from then-fiance Liam Hemsworth, and the all-too-literal music video has been seared in pop culture forever.
