Down in the DUMPS? Just got dumped? Feeling like a dump? Just dumped him? We’ve found the ultimate break-up songs to get you back on your feet and back into the game. Download these songs and listen to them whenever needed!
 
 

You’ll Think of Me – Keith Urban.
This song is a little bit depressing and empowering. It talks about how you can move on without your significant other, but they’ll always think of you. What more could you ask for?
 
Fighter – Christina Aguilera
What an empowering breakup song. Christina Aguilera talks about how she became a stronger, tougher, and better person because of her past relationship. I think that’s a lesson most of us can take with us.
 
I Look So Good (Without You) – Jessie James
Sometimes, you just need a break. This song talks about how after breaking up with a boyfriend; she made a whole new name for herself. Ladies, take a note.
 
Better That We Break – Maroon 5
Adam Levine expressing your feelings. Need I say more?
 
Someone Like You – Adele
The ultimate breakup song… and its fun to belt out in your car when you’re driving alone. No one can beat Adele’s amazing vocals.
 
Since U Been Gone – Kelly Clarkson
It gets the breakup message across, but it also has a fun, peppy beat. After a long relationship, it can be relieving after a breakup and that is exactly what Kelly Clarkson sings about.
 
Best Days Of Your Life – Kellie Pickler
Sucks to suck. Your gorgeous girlfriend has moved on and now you’re regretting it. Girls, this song reminds you that you’re better than that. He’ll regret breaking your heart eventually.
 
Gives You Hell – All-American Rejects
This song is all about revenge. Be careful how you act people!
 
Before He Cheats – Carrie Underwood
Wow. This song surely teaches this boy a lesson. No one messes with Carrie Underwood and gets away with it.
 
A Little Bit Stronger – Sara Evans
I think almost any girl can relate to this song with its powerful messege. Its just a reminder that things WILL get better in time.
