Cheated-On Songs | Infidelity Tracks (41–50) for Those Who Want to Overcome a Sad Love
I got a boyfriend/girlfriend.My Hair is Bad
A lingering-love song from a man’s perspective, speaking to his ex-girlfriend: “I Got a New Girlfriend.” If you’ve been cheated on, just seeing the title can make you bristle—but imagine your ex-boyfriend who dumped you is the one singing it… doesn’t that make you feel a bit lighter? Cheating happens because they feel they have a home to return to—you.
When the relationship ends, the one left with regrets might actually be the ex.
After a breakup, let’s shift to a forward-looking mindset: become such a wonderful woman that your ex wants to confess to you all over again!
A love with you, separated by nineSHIROSE from WHITE JAM
“Our Love with a 9-Year Gap,” whose lyrics vocalist SHIROSE wrote exactly as the words he sent to his lover.
Songs that directly reflect real experiences are inevitably raw and heartrending.
In age-gap relationships, there are times when you can’t help but feel the distance.
If you ever start to sense your feelings drifting apart little by little, give this a listen—you’ll likely find something to relate to.
high skyUMEILO
What on earth should I do if the person I like ends up getting a partner…? UMEILO’s “Kokū” captures that bittersweet, aching feeling.
It’s a cool rock track that cries out those sweet-and-sour emotions alongside the sound of a Telecaster! Don’t you ever find yourself putting on a brave face when you can’t be honest? This is the song I recommend for times like that.
avocadoyonige
His new girlfriend is a universally acknowledged beauty.
The song that depicts how his ex-girlfriend felt when she found out is “Avocado.” The woman is crushed by a sense of emptiness, wondering, just as much as she feels shocked, what she really meant to him up until now.
How would you feel in the same situation? I might even feel angry at him… In the end, I think a partner should be someone who cherishes you.
Once you’ve cried and gotten all your resentment off your chest, let’s move on to the next love!
Sentimental Sisteryonige
Sentimental Sister by yonige sings of a woman’s aching love.
Its pop feel and straightforward band sound make it easy to listen to.
The lyrics are based on vocalist Ushimaru’s real experiences, giving them a provocative edge.
Give it a listen when your feelings won’t get through and you’re feeling sentimental.
Persona’s Memoryaimyon
A track from Aimyon’s fourth full-length album, “Falling Into My Eyes Record,” released in 2022.
I’ve heard records are having a bit of a revival lately, so perhaps the album title nods to that.
The song opens with a scene of writing a loved one’s name on an omurice with ketchup.
Even the somewhat provocative words like “blood” and “kill” that appear in the lyrics feel like expressions of love turned inside out.
The melody is a bit jazzy for an Aimyon song and absolutely worth a listen.
I hope you’ll listen while reminiscing about someone you used to love.
I mi fu, darling.takayan
When you discover your partner is cheating, the anger and loneliness explode all at once, don’t they? Takayan’s “Imifu Darling” is a song that seems to put those feelings of anger straight into the lyrics.
There are times when you can’t help wanting to control your partner, right? In those moments, give this song a listen and see if it resonates with you.
