So What – Pink
Pink wrote this hit after a break with her now motorcross racer hubby Corey Hart. The split came after his rumoured infidelity and Pink said: “I guess I just lost my husband, I don’t know where he went, so I’m gonna drink my money, I’m not gonna pay his rent.”
F*ck it (I Don’t Want You Back) – Eamon
This song by US artist Eamon says it all really. It also went to No 1 across the world so obviously hit a nerve all round. Turn it up people!
Cry Me A River – Justin Timberlake
Inspired by his heartbreak from his intense split back in the day with Britney Spears Justin penned this heartfelt number. The Trousersnake said: “I’m not going to specifically say if any song is about anybody. I will say writing a couple of songs on the record helped me deal with a couple of things. To me songs are songs. They can stem from things that completely happened to you personally or they can stem from ideas that you think could happen to you.” Either way, it gets us every time.
Irreplaceable – Beyonce
Girls worldwide have sent their exes “to the left/to the left” with this power ballad. It was the best-selling single of 2007 in the US.
End Of the Road – Boyz II Men
This timeless classic will never get old and is perfect if you feel like you need to shed a tear. Get your hankies at the ready.
Ex Factor – Lauryn Hill
The lady sings: “No matter how I think we grow. You always seem to let me know. We ain’t working.” Yep, she seems to have nailed the one point there.
