[Jealousy & Possessiveness Songs] Carefully selected popular tracks to listen to when you're struggling with possessiveness! (31–40)
Sparks of Lies96neko
Uso no Hibana, a popular song by 96neko that was also used as the opening theme for the anime Scum’s Wish.
This song, which pours out overflowing feelings for someone you love, portrays a heartrending unrequited love, yet it also makes me feel that deep down her heart is brimming with possessiveness toward him.
She can’t confess her feelings herself, but she wants him to notice—those conflicting emotions only plunge her love deeper into darkness.
Love doesn’t leave you with only beautiful feelings, and the bigger your love grows, the more emotions arise that you can’t control.
It’s a track that anyone suffering through a painful crush will surely relate to.
Delusional DiaryShido
This song portrays a woman’s jealousy and obsession after being cheated on.
It depicts how, because her love for the person she likes is so strong, she can’t let go and spirals into a mad kind of love.
The vocals and melody are cool, and it’s especially popular among women.
For men, it offers deep insight into female jealousy, so give it a listen if you ever feel tempted to cheat.
Poisonous possessivenessDECO*27
A shocking work that portrays a warped form of love.
Frenzied obsession and possessiveness are expressed through electronic sounds and Hatsune Miku’s translucent vocals.
The conflict of excessive affection—desperately trying not to lose someone so precious you can’t take your eyes off them, yet ending up hurting them—is woven with DECO*27’s characteristically deft word choice.
Included on the album “Conti New,” released in March 2014, this piece may prompt you to face your own emotions when your feelings of love seem on the verge of running wild or when you’re suffering from attachment to someone important.
I’d rather die.Fuji Kaze
This is a song by Fujii Kaze that expresses an extreme sentiment—preferring death over parting from the one you love.
Despite its light, jazz- and R&B-infused sound that doesn’t feel gloomy, don’t you sense a touch of darkness for a straightforward love song in the lyrics that depict an excessive obsession with the other person? It’s filled with lingering regret about not wanting to suffer remorse after losing them, suggesting that the feeling of love for the other person has become distorted.
The song is included on the album “HELP EVER HURT NEVER,” released in May 2020, and it was performed on a TV program in December 2022.
It’s a track I’d recommend to anyone whose feelings for someone have reached a peak and who is feeling suffocated.
jealousyGUMI
When it comes to songs that lay bare jealousy, many tend to sing about the hazy feelings of romance, but this “Jealousy” straightforwardly expresses the jealousy people feel toward others.
It’s packed with the kind of jealousy that everyone has felt toward someone at some point.
When you’re grappling with emotions like these, you really do feel incredibly small…

It hurts.Kiyoshi Ryujin
I think Ryuji Seiryu’s “Itai yo” is a song you can’t forget once you’ve heard it.
Songs about jealousy are often from the perspective of a woman toward a man, right? But this song flips that.
It’s about a man who senses that the woman’s heart isn’t turned toward him, yet he behaves as if everything is normal.
Inside, though, it’s anything but calm—his chest is bursting with a silent scream.
It’s a track that feels like a man’s cry, seething with jealousy even toward the men in her past.
LonelinessMrs. GREEN APPLE
Among Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s songs—often associated with a bright, upbeat image—Loneliness stands out with a distinctly dark tone.
The lyrics open by depicting a sense of despair with the world, but in the next verse the singer confesses a single ray of hope: “I want to keep loving you.” For the protagonist, this love is the only reason to live.
While it might seem like an overwhelmingly heavy feeling at first glance, it may well be the truest emotion overflowing from within him.
It feels imbued with a heartfelt wish to love someone and share an ordinary life together.
