If you have just gone through a breakup, here is a list of songs to help get over a guy that you will not find in any other playlist of breakup songs.

“I can do better” by Avril Lavigne

“We are never getting back together” by Taylor Swift
You can tell this is one of the best songs to get over a guy just by its title. You may be tempted like Taylor to go back to that unhealthy relationship. But if your ex really comes back asking for romance or a second chance, play the song really loud and let him know you have finally moved on.

“ I will always love you” By Whitney Houston
This song may move you to tears as Whitney belts her heart out. However, you will gain the courage to leave a relationship that is not working. You will learn to walk away from the person that you will love for the rest of your life.
“Cry me a river” By Justin Timberlake
Justin is singing about an ex who wants another chance. He spent some time alone getting over her and realized that she was not good enough for him. It is now time for her to cry. This is the best song to listen to if your ex thinks he can walk away and come back at any time.
‘You’re so vain” by Carly Simon

“Bullet proof” by La Roux
This is among the best songs to get over a guy, especially when you are trying to get off weeping. It will push you to get up and move on. Your ex-boyfriend cannot convince you in any way to get back to him. He could have taken advantage of you in the past, but now you are bulletproof.
“Dancing with myself” by Billy Idol
Billy disagrees with the saying that it takes two to tango. You can move to the rhythm of this song and celebrate your freedom if you are tired of wallowing in sadness. Go out and show the world that you no longer have anything to lose or prove.
“Irreplaceable” by Beyonce
This is the perfect song to listen to when your ex thinks you will never find a better man than him. You can confidently tell him to leave because he does not deserve to be with you and there will be a better man for you.
