Breakups are hard. It doesn't matter who initiated it. Even if the breakup was a relief to you, it's still an unpleasant experience. That's why you should turn your attention to some other great stuff. For example, music. Music can make you feel great after a breakup, so I've made you a playlist of songs about being happy for your ex. These happy breakup songs will lighten your mood up. Even if you're completely torn and think that nothing can make you feel better, you should play these songs. That's why happy breakup songs are there for: to make you feel happy again. I will explain what the songs are about and insert a part of their lyrics, so you can instantly know if the song is for you or not. Let's see what we've got in this playlist.
1. "I Will Survive" by Gloria Gaynor
"I've got all my life to live
And I've got all my love to give, and I'll survive"
This is a good old song about getting over bitter emotions. It's about being able to endure almost every bad situation that you've found yourself in.
2. "I Don't Miss You At All" by Selena Gomez & The Scene
"It doesn't hurt
When I think of you
And all the things we'll
Never get to do
I don't dream at night about the way we were"
You can infer what this song is about very easily. Sometimes you have to listen to these kinds of songs because they can actually make you believe that you are completely fine.
3. "Fighter" by Christina Aguilera
"'Cause it makes me that much stronger
Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser
So thanks for making me a fighter"
Personally, this song has made me feel better in very difficult situations. It will remind you of the fact that you are strong and brave, and that nothing can get in your way.
4. "Best Thing I Never Had" by Beyoncé
"Thank god you blew it
I thank god I dodged a bullet
I'm so over you
Thank god I found the good in goodbye"
This song is about the perks of a painful breakup. If somebody has hurt you, that person might just have actually saved you by doing so. You could have stayed for the rest of your life with the wrong person.
5. "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" by Taylor Swift
"Huh, so he calls me up and he's like, I still love you
And I'm like I just I mean this is exhausting, you know, like
We are never getting back together like, ever"
This is a happy song that should remind you that even if you've lost your "soulmate", there is always time for friends, laughter, and throwing a good party. Furthermore, it's even better than a relationship.
6. "So What" by Pink
"I'm still a rock star
I got my rock moves
And I don't need you
And guess what
I'm having more fun"
This is also an old one, but very straightforward. It should remind you that you are still you and that you still rock, even without a partner.
7. "Cry Me A River" by Justin Timberlake
"You don't have to say what you did
I already know, I found out from him
Now there's just no chance
With you and me
There'll never be
Don't it make you sad about it?"
Although revenge is not advisable, we all feel a bit better when somebody who has hurt us feels the same at some point in time. This is a song about not giving a second chance to an ex who did not deserve it.
8. "New Rules" by Dua Lipa
"One, don't pick up the phone
You know he's only calling 'cause he's drunk and alone
Two, don't let him in
You'll have to kick him out again"
Don't forget that ex is an ex for a reason. Getting him back in your life would only mess things up even more. Make your new rules for life and enjoy it.
9. "You should be sad" by Hasley
"But you're not half the man you think that you are
And you can't fill the hole inside of you with money, girls and cars
I'm so glad I never ever had a baby with you
'Cause you can't love nothin' unless there's somethin' in it for you"
In most cases, people are not who we think at first. A lot of people wear masks and hide their true faces. Once the masks fall off, you are able to see that someone is nearly as perfect as you thought they were.
10. "High by the beach" by Lana del Rey
"All I wanna do is get by the beach
Get by baby, baby, bye-bye"
This song sounds melancholic, but it will actually calm you down. The singer sings about the man who is not actually good enough for her to care about him. She just wants to "get high by the beach".
11. "Don't hold your breath" by Nicole Scherzinger
"You can't touch me now
There's no feeling left
If you think I'm coming back
Don't hold your breath"
This is an old one, too. This is the best song to play after a breakup, and it's about breaking free from a very toxic relationship.
12. "Tears Dry On Their Own" by Amy Winehouse
"He walks away
The sun goes down
He takes the day, but I'm grown
And in your way
In this blue shade
My tears dry on their own"
Just let the time heal the wounds and dry your tears. This happy beat will remind you that you will be fine soon.
13. "I Want To Break Free" by Queen
"I want to break free from your lies
You're so self-satisfied I don't need you
I've got to break free"
Breaking free from a detrimental relationship is one of the best things that can happen to you. Queen is there to remind you of that with this melodic song.
14. "Since U Been Gone" by Kelly Clarkson
"But since you been gone
I can breathe for the first time
I'm so moving on, yeah yeah
Thanks to you, now I get what I want"
This song will remind you of the fact that your world should not be just one partner. Now you can grow as a person and become a better version of yourself.
15. "Without Me" by Halsey
"Tell me how's it feel sittin' up there
Feeling so high but too far away to hold me
You know I'm the one who put you up there"
Remember your worth. Keep in mind that your ex has lost much more than you have. However they feel, remember that it is you who should control the situation.
