Going through a breakup and need some powerful music to get by? Queen Bey is your answer. ‘Best Thing I Never Had’ is super empowering, and will make you forget all about whoever did you wrong. Listen to it, fix your crown and remember who you are.
If this isn’t one of your favourite songs, it definitely should be. There’s just something about Amy Winehouse’s vocals that makes you feel instantly cheerful when you hear them. ‘Valerie’ is a real winner when you need a little boost.
