[Tear-Jerking Breakup Songs] A carefully curated selection of love songs that gently soothe a wounded heart (1–10)
SoumuNEW!enu
In the stillness of a sleepless night, have you ever suddenly been flooded by memories of a love that’s ended, feeling your chest tighten? This song by singer-songwriter Enu tenderly captures the lingering attachment that won’t fade after a breakup, as well as the hollow feeling when the person has vanished completely from everyday life.
Released in December 2020, it became a starting point for a set of early signature works.
The official music video has amassed around three million views and remains beloved to this day.
It’s a recommended track for those late-night moments when you quietly shed tears while revisiting memories of someone you can’t forget.
I quit my dependency.NEW!matsuri
A song by singer-songwriter Matsuri that portrays the resolve to end a love she couldn’t cut herself free from and her determination to move forward.
Released in October 2020, it’s written in down-to-earth words about realizing she had mistaken dependence for love and the process of deciding to break up.
Its catchy melody and crystalline vocals gently cradle a wounded heart.
In July 2022, it was also released as the EP “Izon, Yameta / Good bye, toxic love – EP.” A bittersweet yet warm breakup song that softly nudges those who are hurting because they can’t forget an old love.
Because I fell in loveaimyon
A bittersweet breakup song by Aimyon, a singer-songwriter from Hyogo Prefecture.
The gentle sound of the acoustic guitar and her clear, transparent voice seem to slip right into our hearts.
The title, “Koi wo Shita Kara” (“Because I Fell in Love”), is truly relatable.
When you fall in love, you experience both joy and pain.
But that’s what love is, isn’t it?
Until the day I can no longer rememberback number
When it comes to breakup songs, back number is absolutely indispensable.
I feel like the “breakup period” is exactly what the title of this song captures: “Until the Day I Can No Longer Remember.” As long as you can still remember, your mind keeps circling through different things—you laugh at the happy memories, and the painful ones and the regrets bring the sadness flooding back.
Little by little, with the passage of time, the wounds begin to heal.
But even if you forget everything, is that really for the best…? The muddled emotions that follow a breakup are expressed here just as they are.
somedaySaucy Dog
Someday I’ll forget, and someday we’ll meet again.
This is a Saucy Dog track that dwells on the many different “somedays” that follow a broken heart.
It’s included on the mini-album Country Road.
Until the chorus, it calmly recalls memories from when they were together, but when the vocals swell in the chorus, vocalist-guitarist Shinya Ishihara’s voice brings an overwhelming pang of sorrow.
They wanted to stay together forever—those feelings spill over into the chorus, which uses so few words yet says so much.
And then, wishing for the day they’ll meet again, the song comes to a close.
I loved (it/you)erica
This is a break-up song released by Erica in 2016.
Many women can probably relate to the feeling of trying to act okay and say goodbye, even while facing the sorrow of a broken heart.
When you’re actually still attached, want to get back together, and feel like crying right now but hold it in, it’s incredibly painful.
It may be a profound sadness, but building that kind of positive attitude could help women grow and shine even more.
Even after a breakup, let this song encourage you and keep going!

It’s a very moving song that makes you think of someone precious who’s no longer here.
Even with a hint of regret, it conveys a steadfast heart that still can’t forget—a love, a cherished person—held with single-minded devotion.
Those emotions come through and bring me to tears.
We can’t change the past, but we’re free to think of the other person.
If you can’t forget them, it’s okay to keep on loving them, isn’t it?
