Music is just SO good for the soul!!! It sees you through every season of life: the happy, the heartbroken, the celebrations, the grief. From fun road trips to those really looonggg half-hour drives with three kids in the back, music has a way of making everything better.
Which got us thinking! What is the ULTIMATE breakup song?
We’re talking about THAT post-breakup anthem that spoke to you, the one you played on repeat as you navigated the breakdown of a relationship and grieved the loss of what could have been. The last time I had a breakup, I was probably crying into a bowl of ice cream and listening to Boyz II Men’s “End of the Road.”
Curious about what others listened to during their toughest times, we took to social media and asked people for their favourite breakup songs. We received quite a mix of breakup song flavours and, with a sprinkle of our own faves, created the ULTIMATE breakup playlist:
- End Of The Road – Boyz II Men
- Someone Like You – Adele
- I’m Not The Only One – Sam Smith
- If I Were A Boy – Beyoncé
- Midnight Sky – Miley Cyrus
- Break Even – The Script
- Only Love Can Hurt Like This – Paloma Faith
- So Sick – Ne-Yo
- Let It Go – James Bay
- Breaking Up Is Hard To Do – The Carpenters
- Truth Hurts – Lizzo
- Goodbye My Lover – James Blunt
- Wind Beneath My Wings – Whitney Houston
- Harpoon – Jebediah
- I’m Good – Wafia
- So Over You – Ashanti
- Lose Somebody – Kygo & OneRepublic
- Love is A Losing Game – Amy Winehouse
- Hit Em Up Style – Blu Cantrell
- Forget Her – Jeff Buckley
- Slide Away – Miley Cyrus
- Total Eclipse of The Heart – Bonnie Tyler
- Irreplaceable – Beyoncé
- Thank U, Next – Ariana Grande
- Burn – Usher
