Songs to be strong

[PinkLady1979]

Have just walked away from a relationship that I needed to end, for my own well-being. My decision but I am determined to stick to it and I am going to need to keep very busy and strong. I know I am doing the right thing.

I am in real need of songs to give me strength. Ones that are of the “f*ck you” vibe or “your loss” theme. The ones I currently have on repeat are “Strong Enough” Cher, “Believe” Cher, “I will Survive” Gloria Gaynor.

I also need songs for me to have a good sob to as even though I am doing the right thing, I am so sad, I really loved him. So any break up songs to bawl to please too so I can get that out of my system and then move on. I have “who Knew” Pink and “it must have been love” Roxette and “out of reach” Gabrielle.

please give me inspiration.

Thanks 😢

I really dont think this song is good for a break up song. It's more of a preamble to reigniting a relationship. Vibes!

We are never ever getting back together - Taylor Swift

Rearview Mirror- Pearl Jam

Trying to stay upbeat and remind yourself you're worth it:
Perfect by Fairground Attraction

I was coming on here to recommend a load of Taylor. It's what she does best and better than everyone else.

See also;
How did it end? (cry)
All too well (plus the 10 min version) (cry)

So long London (kinda cry but the bridge kicks ass)
Down bad (mixture of crying and dancing)
Death by a thousand cuts (anger and crying)

She has loads more too. If you're not a swiftie op, it's a good time to become one.

Yes to the upper suggestion of YES by mcalmont and butler.

also, said it all by take that. Gary is a genius song writer and this song is his epitaph!

Nina Simone Feeling Good

Eye of the Tiger from Rocky. Because you are a fighter. ;) 💪

You got this. Xxx

These Boots are made for walking
Mein Herr from Cabaret. The version as danced by Helen Skelton in Strictly is a great "Fuck you" one.

Songs:

”Girl on Fire” Alicia Keys (my personal anthem)

”Talkin’ About a Revolution” Tracy Chapman

”Sisters Are Doin’ It for Themselves” Eurythmics

When I'm back on my feet Again by Michael Bolton.

Thank you for all your suggestions. Working my way through them ♥️

Look up spritely and lølø - both have perfect break up songs

Yes yes and yes. Just make sure you are ready to really ugly cry to how did it end!

Like the swifties say.. you don't like Taylor until you need her.

Robbie Williams - karma killer

You're History by Shakespears Sister
I Never Loved You Anyway, by The Corrs
Enough is Enough by Donna Summer and Barbara Streisand

Titanium always helps me when I’m in this mood

Prefab sprout -when love breaks down

Oh I love Prefab Sprout . When Loves Breaks Down 💔

Lily Allen, fuck you is great.

"He's Just No Good For You" by Mental as Anything. (More of a cautionary tale of what not to do!).
