[From a Woman’s Perspective Too!] A Roundup of Breakup Songs Recommended for Teen Girls (1–10)
A song about being cheated on but still in love.riria.
This song, whose shocking title has likely left a strong impression on many, is one of singer-songwriter Riria’s signature tracks.
As the title suggests, the lyrics portray a woman who was cheated on yet still loves her boyfriend.
Terms like Instagram Stories and LINE appear in the lyrics, making the song feel more relatable to listeners.
It’s said the lyrics were written based on love consultations from friends and fans on social media, which is why they feel so real and resonate with so many people.
366 daysHY
Speaking of breakup songs by HY, who have produced numerous love songs, this one is absolutely essential.
Released in 2008, it might feel a bit old to those in their teens today.
Even so, it remains a staple breakup song in the J-pop scene, and many people have likely heard it, especially since Moka Kamishiraishi once performed a cover of it in a commercial.
It portrays a grand, heartbreaking love that you just can’t give up on, even though you know it won’t come true.
It’s a song I especially recommend to women who are experiencing similar feelings.
maybeYOASOBI
The lyrics use the first-person pronoun “boku,” so they aren’t written from a female perspective, but since this duo is extremely popular among teenage girls, I picked this song as well.
YOASOBI is known for creating songs based on novels, and this track was also made from a short story of the same name.
The story goes: a roommate who suddenly left one day returns and begins erasing their belongings and the traces of the life the two shared.
I’m sure there are people who, after a breakup, have struggled with the pain of their ex’s traces lingering in the room they once shared, yet feeling unable to erase them—such a complicated mix of emotions.
The song also talks about how the reason things didn’t work out wasn’t one person’s fault but a responsibility shared by both, offering many points that are highly relatable.

catDISH//
This song, written and composed by singer-songwriter Aimyon for DISH//, poignantly and beautifully captures lingering feelings for an ex.
The lyrics are told from a male perspective, but the sentiments of lingering attachment are relatable regardless of gender.
The imagery of walking home at sunset is especially beautiful and adds a bittersweet touch that really tugs at the heart.
There’s also a self-cover version by Aimyon herself, which I recommend especially for female listeners.
Girls don’t cry.katahira rina
This is a song you can’t leave out when talking about breakup tracks recommended for women by singer-songwriter Rina Katahira, who has created many songs that capture women’s feelings.
The inner conflict before dating, the anxiety after you start going out—these are emotions any woman can relate to, aren’t they? Although the title is “Girls Don’t Cry,” the latter half of the song carries the message that it’s okay to be yourself and cry when you feel like it.
It’s a cheer-up song for women that we especially hope those fresh from a breakup will listen to.
evening primroseNovelbright
A heartbreak song by the rock band Novelbright, whose overwhelming vocal prowess and songwriting sense have garnered widespread popularity.
Although it’s by a male artist, it’s written from a female perspective.
The lyrics portray a woman who, after a breakup, still can’t forget her ex, a feeling many can relate to—the pain of wanting to forget but being unable to.
While these deeply sorrowful emotions are laid bare, the twilight scenery is depicted beautifully and vividly in the lyrics, and that contrast heightens the sense of poignancy even more.
playing loversmakaroni enpitsu
This song by the hugely popular rock band Macaroni Enpitsu is written from the perspective of the man in a couple who couldn’t quite connect emotionally.
Even though they were clearly drawn to each other, their awkwardness kept them from expressing their feelings well.
That clumsy mismatch kept repeating, and they ended up breaking up.
The male protagonist looks back on their relationship with regret, and though he still has lingering feelings, he makes up his mind to move forward.
Surely, regardless of gender, there are people who are awkward when it comes to love.
If you’ve suffered a heartbreak because of your own awkwardness, listen to this song, reset, and start walking toward a new love!
