What an awesome playlist! I have to admit sometimes we all need some sad songs to have on so I even without a breakup I might have to listen to this.
Goodbye To You – Michelle Branch, now that takes me back! BLACKPINK – “Kill This Love” is a great break up song.
I never realised there were so many break up songs, what a great playlist I don’t know some of these songs so will have to give them a listen
There are some fabulous choices on here, but, also quite a few I haven’t heard of – I’ll be looking them up on my Apple Music tonight.
I have definitely listened to some of these during a break up. Great list, music does help to heal the heart, doesn’t it?
What a fantastic compilation of breakup songs , there are many I have not heard before . I might just check them out .
