Being single isn’t a bad thing—some even argue it’s the best thing ever, actually! Except on Valentine’s Day, when it seems all anyone can talk about is their new beau and the box of chocolates their lover gave them. And, like, good for them, but as single ladies, we like to ignore all of the mushy-gushy-ness happening all over our Facebook feeds. Hence, an Anti-Valentine’s Day Party! You’re all invited, it’ll be great. But what’s a party without a killer playlist? Nothing, which is why we’ve created the perfect mix of anti-love songs for you. Ranging from slightly sad songs about unrequited love (backed by a sick beat to keep the mood up) to bangers all about how you don’t need a man to make you happy, this playlist will be the perfect accompaniment to your bash.
Some staples, like “Potential Breakup Song” by Aly & AJ and “Single Ladies (Put a Ring On It)” by Beyoncé, made the list to guarantee your party attendees can scream along to the chorus. We also threw in some lesser known jams, including “Hair” by Little Mix and “Changing of the Seasons” by Two Door Cinema Club, to keep things interesting. Filled with upbeat ditties about everything anti-love, this playlist will increase your party-throwing cred tenfold:
“Love Stinks” by The J. Geils Band
“Kiss With A Fist” by Florence + the Machine
