5 Best Breakup Songs To Help You Get Over Someone

Breakups are the worst. Breakup songs are what help us grieve the stages of a breakup. I’m currently going through one right now so listen to me when I say, the five breakup songs below are going to help you get over this and move on with your life.

Need You Now by Lady Antebellum

“And I wonder if I ever cross your mind

For me it happens all the time.

It’s a quarter after one, I’m all alone and I need you now

Said I wouldn’t call, but I lost all control and I need you now

And I don’t know how I can do without

I just need you now.”

We’ve been through this. When we’ve been broken up with, this is what we do: listen to breakup songs and miss them. We’re alone and the only thing we can think of is them and it sucks so hard. We wonder if they’re thinking of us as much as we’re thinking of them. We call even though we really shouldn’t and we are just so sad.

Too Good At Goodbyes by Sam Smith

“But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry

And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry

And every time you walk out, the less I love you

Baby, we don’t stand a chance, it’s sad but it’s true

I’m way too good at goodbyes.”

This song is for the people in on and off relationships. I was in one for two years. On and off relationships are full of heartache and aren’t worth your time. This song explains that every time they break up it hurts less and less and they can’t go on like this. Sam Smith is completely right. Relationships cannot be on and off, either you’re with someone or it wasn’t meant to be.

Thank U, Next by Ariana Grande

“I’ve got so much love

Got so much patience

I’ve learned from the pain

I turned out amazing

Say I’ve loved and I’ve lost

But that’s not what I see

Cuz look what I’ve found

Ain’t no need for searching

And for that I say

Thank you, next”

Alright everybody. No more wallowing in your sadness. Now’s the time to realize all that you’ve gained from the relationship. This isn’t one of your typical cry-your-eyes-out breakup songs. This song tells you to appreciate what was and to look forward to what’s to come.

Good As Hell by Lizzo

“Woo girl, need to kick off your shoes

Got to take a deep breath, time to focus on you

All the big fights, long nights that you been through

I got a bottle of tequila I been saving for you

Boss up and change your life

You can have it all, no sacrifice

I know he did you wrong, we can make it right

So go and let it all hang out tonight.”

Okay, now’s the time to stop listening to depressing breakup songs. This song is an ode to self-love after a breakup. Lizzo is telling you, that guy doesn’t love you but that’s ok. It’s time to breathe and start loving yourself.

Nice For What by Drake

“Had a man last year, life goes on

Haven’t let that thing loose, girl, in so long

You’ve been inside, know you like to lay low

I’ve been peepin’ what you bringin’ to the table

Workin’ hard girl, everything paid for

First-last, phone bill, car note, cable.”

Now it’s time to dance! You are the shit, and if you don’t believe that, Drake is literally telling you, you work hard despite that breakup and you’re doing a bang-up job. No more sad breakup songs and tears! In the words of Kris Jenner:
