The list spans several decades and many different moods, but all are rooted in some type of pain. Below, you’ll find our ranking of the 50 greatest breakup songs of all time, as voted on by our staff. And in honor of Valentine’s Day, we decided to dig deep into the genre. We here at The Ringer believe that since heartache comes in many forms, so should the breakup song. It’s time to banish the pain, misery, and resentment you’ve been wrestling with.What makes a song a “breakup song”? Does it have to be empowering, à la “I Will Survive” or most of the songs on Lemonade? Should it be for the lonely, like Carole King’s “It’s Too Late” or Bob Dylan’s “If You See Her, Say Hello”? Does it have to address the breakup in the lyrics? (Taylor Swift has many entrants in this category, and Marvin Gaye penned an entire album about his divorce.) What about songs with a famous backstory, like “Cry Me a River” or any track off of Rumours?
OR you can be proactive about taking a DEEP dive into a solution that’s specifically designed to heal your heart. You can continue hurting and wallowing in misery.
So if you’ve been struggling to move forward after being hurt in any kind of way, then you NEED this guide! It’s like therapy, but in a book. Every day, month, or year you spend sulking is precious time you won’t get back. However, what’s NOT okay is letting the pain cripple you to a point where you can’t function, concentrate, or accomplish anything. And you should know it’s okay to grieve the loss. But no matter what the scenario, you should know that the pain of rejection and heartbreak is pain everyone experiences, often more than once, just in different ways.
When someone who is “supposed” to love you decides to walk away from you, it can be extremely devastating. Or maybe your lifelong partner just decided to pack their bags and leave all of a sudden. Sometimes it feels like the pain will never go away… Finding happiness after heartbreak begins here!
