Doesn’t every break-up seem like a scene straight out of a movie? Even though you know it’s coming, you’re shocked and hurt when it actually happens. Then you tell your girlfriends. Then you sulk around the house eating ice cream and watching Titanic and The Notebook over and over again. Then, cue the depressing love songs.

Nope!

Not this time. We’re bending the break-up rules a bit and setting you up with a playlist of the 10 best empowering break-up songs!

Check out the whole break-up playlist on YouTube right here! Then let us know in the comments what we’re missing!

    No Alanis? C'mon! When I'm feeling bad, pop music makes me feel worse. Grab Alanis Morissette's album, Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie, and a stiff drink. (also, the most recent album, Flavors of Entanglement, also has a few good ones)

    I agree with a lot of these songs, I think a few that could be added are:
    Rihanna- Take A Bow
    Sara Evans- Stronger
    Miranda Lambert- Kerosene
    As a matter of fact, Miranda Lambert is one of those women who is a pistol, and a lot of her songs are very empowering!!

    The best song for a break up is The sound of You and I by seabirds
