Preferably “unhinged” but hinged will do fine if that’s how you prefer to roll
Before He Cheats but the mashup version with Warriors.
From the few artists I know in this thread and any self-descriptive titles, this is going to be rather out there but…
Breaking Benjamin and Three Days Grace are what a friend and I agreed is the perfect breakup music. I think it came up because it made me feel better during a breakup but I didn’t want to continue listening to it to avoid getting sick of it and it losing the effect next time. Or something, idk I was a teenager :p
BB: I will not bow • Crawl • Blow me away
3DG: Break • Scared • RiotDidn’t know them at the time but Amity Affliction probably fits here as well. Soak me in bleach or Pittsburgh, for example
Unbreak my heart - Toni braxton Its not right but its okay – Whitney Houston Before he cheats - Carrie Underwood
Ok just thought of another one that will be good if you like country that is pretty twisted.

Baby Bitch by Ween
My laptop ca. 2004

Nice
Birthday Boy also is great (and referenced in Baby Bitch)
If you’re the one who wanted to break up: Want You Gone. The song Glados sings from Portal 2.
If not: 50 Ways to Say Goodbye by Train
Dry your eyes - The Streets
You Outta Know by Alanis Morissette
You Oughta Know if you’re mad about it
Don’t Speak if you’re sad about it
it’s literally called the Break Up Song :)
Not the one I was thinking of …
This is not a breakup song, but about many things i think. However the allusions to loneliness (or maybe solitude/isolation rather than loneliness) have me slot it partially in the breakup category… “Reckoner” by Radiohead.
Break Up (Bye Bye) by the Frock Destroyers
Last dance with Mary Jane - Tom Petty
Cry me a river - Justin Timberlake
Goodbye - Barbara Streisand ( Hello Dolly)
Weird Al - One More Minute
I came here to say this, but you best me to it. 😁
Also “You Don’t Love Me Anymore”.
Yes, that one is also great
Unhinged: You Oughta Know by Alanis Mortisette. Listen closely to the lyrics for way too much information.
Hinged: Hard to Say I’m Sorry by Chicago. Such a sweet melody that I’ve heard it playing on weddings, of all places…
