No matter what genre is your favourite, how old you are or where you come from, music has always been there for you through everything. From your first day of high school, to your wedding day, and everything else in between, music has always been there to set the mood! In this post, we’re taking on a completely different tone by listing 10 songs to help get over your ex; because let’s face it, we’ve all been there.

Truth Hurts by Lizzo

We’re coming in HOT with the iconic “Truth Hurts” by Lizzo. If you’re looking for a song to make you feel like a bad b, this is it! Trust us, you don’t need them.

“You coulda had a bad b****, non-committal Help you with your career, just a little You're supposed to hold me down But you're holding me back And that's the sound of me not calling you back”

Tears Dry on Their Own by Amy Winehouse

Everything happens for a reason are words to live by. This song is all about how the relationship was never meant to be in the first place (especially if it ended), and how there are so many bigger things in life than stressing over a significant other that isn’t worth it!

“I don't understand Why do I stress the man? When there's so many bigger things at hand We coulda never had it all.”

We Are Never Getting Back Together by Taylor Swift

This one’s for the relationships that suffer multiple breakups within their lifetime. That kind of inconsistency and extra stress isn’t something you need in your life - just like Taylor says, “it’s exhausting, you know?”.

“Ah, so he calls me up and he's like, "I still love you" And I'm like, I'm just, I mean this is exhausting, you know? Like we are never getting back together, like, ever.”

So What by Pink

Okay, so it’s over. So what? You’re still a rockstar!

“And I don't need you, And guess what, I'm having more fun, And now that we’re done, I'm gonna show you tonight, I'm alright, I'm just fine, And you're a tool, So, so what, I am a rock star, I got my rock moves, And I don't want you tonight.”

Gives You Hell by The All-American Rejects

Keep your head up - you’re doing so much better than your ex. And if you don’t think so, use this song as motivation.

“When you see my face, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell When you walk my way, hope it gives you hell, hope it gives you hell.”

Love Yourself by Justin Bieber

Ah, the modern anthem for toxic relationships. This song is all you need to reiterate the fact that your former significant other needs to GROW UP! You don’t need that kind of negativity in your life.

“And when you told me that you hated my friends The only problem was with you and not them And every time you told me my opinion was wrong And tried to make me forget where I came from.”

Believe by Cher

If Cher says it, it’s true. “Believe” is a great reminder that if you get your heart broken, you have to remember that you ARE strong enough. No matter how self-deprecating your thoughts can get during a breakup, you will get through it and you are too good for them. Spoiler alert: there is life after love!

“I need time to move on I need love to feel strong 'Cause I've had time to think it through And maybe I'm too good for you, oh.”

Since U Been Gone by Kelly Clarkson

If you needed any more reminders that life does go on without your ex, this song is full of them. Kelly says it herself; “Since you’ve been gone, I can breathe for the first time”!

“How come I'd never hear you say I just wanna be with you? Guess you never felt that way... But since you been gone I can breathe for the first time I'm so moving on, yeah, yeah”

Shout Out to My Ex by Little Mix

We’ve all heard of the post-breakup glow ups, right? This song is all about how after being heartbroken, you’ll flourish and grow into a much better, stronger person.

“Shout out to my ex, you're really quite the man You made my heart break and that made me who I am Here's to my ex, hey, look at me now Well, I, I'm all the way up I swear you'll never bring me down.”

Survivor by Destiny’s Child

Newsflash: You don’t need a hero to come save you - you’re no damsel in distress! This song really emphasizes the good that will come out of an ended relationship. Shift that pain to become motivation to become the person you’ve always wanted to be!

“Now that you're outta my life, I'm so much better You thought that I'd be weak without ya, but I'm stronger You thought that I'd be broke without ya, but I'm richer You thought that I'd be sad without ya, I love harder.”

The moral of the story is that you don’t need your ex to move forward in your life. You are strong, independent and more than capable of doing incredible things without co-depending on another human being!
