The Best Breakup Songs Every Woman Needs On Her Playlist

On the days you don’t want to do anything but stay in your apartment, music can be your salvation. We’ve all been there; that feeling you get when you feel so understood by a total stranger singing about their experience. It’s like they wrote that song just for you.

Music is an incredibly healing tool; it has the power to alter your mood, helping you lean into your emotions, as well as shift your mood to a more positive one.

As a breakup coach, I’m excited to share some of the songs I recommend adding to your heartbreak playlist. From the must-know latest hits; to the songs you need to revisit. There’s something in here for every feeling you get during a breakup.

While you’re here, be sure to pick up my ultra-packed Ultimate Guide to Getting Through Your Breakup full of exercises, questions, coaching advice, activities, and so much more. I’ve even included how men and women process their breakups differently. (A top client question that brings a ton of relief!)

Tell me, what mood are you in right now?

I’ve categorized each song into the quintessential moods that only someone going through a painful breakup can truly resonate with. You might be feeling a little Sam Smith in the morning, but then a pinch of Whitney Houston later in the day. I’ve got you covered.

Alright, let’s dive in.

WHEN YOU REFUSE TO BELIEVE IT’S OVER

When you’ve had “the talk,” but your mind, heart, body and soul just won’t accept it.
