The Best Out of the Ordinary Breakup Songs

Let’s be real, breakups are the worst. From your first heartbreak to the ending of your last relationship, it never gets any easier. While there’s many different ways to cope, you just can’t beat listening to a good breakup song. The problem is that many are overplayed and don’t pack the same punch. That’s why, for International Strange Music Day, we’ve made a list of the best out-of-the-ordinary breakup songs you can put on to help heal your broken heart.

Take The Lonely by Hayden Coffman

Hayden Coffman is an independent artist who creates powerful, melodic songs that touch on the true pain of losing a relationship. If you love country music, Take The Lonely is the perfect mix of introspection and healing, making it a perfect addition to your breakup playlist.

Night Shift by Lucy Dacus

Raw and unfiltered, Night Shift by Lucy Dacus is a moody look into the emotions, thoughts, and feelings you encounter after a breakup. It’s the perfect song to listen to when you want to sit, cry, and start the healing process of moving forward without someone you thought would always be around.

It Didn’t by Madeline Merlo

Who says breakup songs have to be all about sitting around and crying? It Didn’t by Madeline Merlo is an upbeat take on the realization that even if a breakup feels like it will take you down, it won’t, and you’ll be okay. It’s the perfect song to sing at the top of your lungs in your car, as the wind blows through your hair. If you’re ready to kick them to the curb and embrace your inner strength, this song will be your new anthem.

The Art of Losing You by Crawford Mack
