Well, there are two types of break-up songs.
One, the sad heartbreak songs
Like Say Something by A Great Big World is so full of pain, it says that you cannot hold on anymore. You need something to motivate you to hold on. You want your lover to convince you to stay, but he doesn't.
Then there is Amnesia by 5 Seconds Of Summer. Such a heartbreaking song. He would rather have amnesia and forget about everything than feel the pain of her leaving him.
Obviously no one can resist Adele's Someone Like You. This song can have you on tears in seconds. When thought about, Hello is also a heartbreak song.
Amonst hindi songs, a very emotional song is Bhagwan Kahan Hai Tu by Sonu Nigam from PK and also Sahib by Rituraj from Bhootnath Returns.... Seriously made me cry.
Then there is Mar Jaaein by Atif Aslam and Jo Bheji Thi Dua by Arjit Singh.
There are of course, other like Babe I'm Gonna Leave You by Led Zepplin and Backstreets by Bruce Springsteen. Never ending list. But these are the ones which made me cry the first time I heard them and still do.
Two, the ones which say "F**k you!! I am better off without you anyway!!"
Like Don't by Ed Sheeran and Best Thing I Never Had and Flawless by Beyonce. and also Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood and Picture To Burn by Taylor Swift.
I WILL SURVIVE by Gloria Gaynor is like the best song to hear when you are imagining throat-punching him. I mean it won't be as satisfying as punching him of course, but at least give you some peace till you can actually do it. For which, obviously you'll need enough courage to go to him which you'll get after you are angry enough on him. Trust me, this song is like the best background song you can play then.
Taylor Swift is like the epitome of break-up songs- Last Kiss, Breathe, Forever & Always, Begin Again and so many others...
So, If U Have Recently Broken Up, I Just Found Your Playlist Of Before The Stage When You Will Start Listening Pocket Full Of Sunshine by Natasha Bedingfield.
