Mariah Carey – We Belong Together (Official Music Video)

Released in 2005 from the album The Emancipation of Mimi, this song is an R&B ballad that pours out a heartfelt yearning for a former lover.

Realizing the magnitude of the love they lost, the protagonist pleads from the depths of their heart, “You and I were meant to be together,” rendered with care over simple piano and a restrained beat.

The late-song leap into the high register feels like an outright explosion of pent-up emotion.

Spending 14 weeks at No.

Justin Timberlake – Cry Me A River (Official Video)

A track included on American artist Justin Timberlake’s solo debut album, Justified.

Released in November 2002, the song centers on a man’s cold resolve after discovering his lover’s betrayal.

Said to be based on the songwriter’s real experience, the words vividly capture the pain of love turning into hatred, earning the song a Grammy Award in 2004.

The stance of declaring “It’s too late” embodies condensed, profound despair.

It’s a song that makes you keenly feel the outcome of a forbidden love and the unhealed wounds of the betrayed—its cruelty laid bare.
