Cheated-On Songs | Infidelity Tracks (11–20) for Those Who Want to Overcome a Sad Love
Say you like me.aimyon
A song whose refreshing sound by Aimyon makes you fall under its spell.
But as for the content, it might make any unfaithful man’s heart skip a beat.
The woman plans to take revenge on the man who dumped her for his affair partner, and on the other woman who stole her precious person.
Her love for him may have been so deep that she couldn’t fully accept the breakup.
It’s a sad song.
Re:makeONE OK ROCK
This is a popular song released relatively early in ONE OK ROCK’s career.
It’s a cool track with a catchy melody line and their signature straightforward rock sound.
While most of the lyrics are written in English, reading through them one by one, you can feel the sense of having been betrayed by someone, as well as a strong determination to overtake that person and keep fighting.
It’s unclear who the lyrics are directed at, but you could say it’s a song of revenge that channels the emotions they carry.
Say it.Yorushika
Yorushika, whose songs are infused with stories, are loved by a wide range of age groups.
One of their representative tracks, “Itte,” is a bright, simply arranged band tune, even though Yorushika are known for many bittersweet songs.
Many people likely discovered Yorushika through this song.
In contrast to its upbeat sound, the lyrics express feelings of frustration and pain.
If I could forgive youieiri reo
Leo Ieiri’s 14th single, “If I Could Forgive You,” was released in 2018.
The song was also used as the theme for the drama “Absolute Zero: Pre-Crime Investigation,” so many people may associate it strongly with the show.
As the title suggests, it’s a track that powerfully conveys the emotions toward someone you hold resentment or hatred for.
Most of us probably have someone in our lives we’ve felt we could never forgive.
Infidelity, as an act of betrayal, leaves a deep scar on the heart.
While the song speaks in the conditional—“if I could forgive”—it also carries a subtle sense of forward-looking hope.
Every momentthe shes gone
The band the shes gone, whose motto is “We hope to be close to your everyday life.” Among the tracks on their 2023 mini-album HEART is this breakup song that somehow feels wonderfully uplifting: “Every Moment.” Depending on the listener, the lyrics can be interpreted as either having moved on—“The you I believed in is gone; no matter how much I keep thinking about you, there’s nothing I can do”—or as still lingering with regret.
Either way, it might be one of those songs whose meaning shifts with each person who hears it.
And to set such bittersweetness to a melody that feels this good—what a formidable band the shes gone is!
Dream-Chasing Bengalaimyon
When someone betrays you, it hurts immensely, doesn’t it? You might feel reckless or not want to think about anything at all.
Aimyon’s “Yumeoi Bengal” is packed with emotions that perfectly match that mood, making it a song you can’t help but relate to.
When you find out you’ve been cheated on, even as you think “whatever happens, happens,” a whirl of emotions surges through you, and your regret and resentment grow.
It’s a song whose raw feelings stab right into you, yet its refreshingly light sound might, as you listen, help you let it go as something in the past—like, “That awful person? I don’t care anymore.”

You have no eye for it.Ansako
A song that vividly brings to mind a woman walking with tears in her eyes, clutching a convenience-store-bought drink in one hand.
The pain of heartbreak, self-loathing, and tangled emotions are woven with delicate words.
The wavering feelings caught between “I still love you” and the reality of “it’s over” resonate deeply with listeners.
Included on Ansako’s second album, “No Make, Story,” this track became a long-running seller for over half a year after its release and struck a chord with many.
It’s a warm song that offers comfort to those suffering the sting of a breakup or blaming themselves.
