[From a woman’s perspective too!] A roundup of breakup songs recommended for teen girls (11–20)
Because I fell in loveaimyon
If you’re a teenage girl, you’ve probably listened to a lot of Aimyon’s songs, but for a heartbreak song, this one is my recommendation.
With a simple acoustic guitar accompaniment and a gently sung, soothing melody, it’s a tender track.
Just as the lyrics describe, when you’re in love, the scenery looks different, and because you’re in love, you feel all sorts of emotions—many people can relate, don’t you think? It’s a warm song that stays close to the pain of heartbreak and comforts your aching heart.
You have no eye for it.Ansako
It’s a heartbreaking breakup song from a woman’s perspective by singer-songwriter Ansako.
As the title “No Eye for Men” suggests, the lyrics are painfully self-deprecating as the female protagonist says she “has no eye for men,” leaving a lasting ache.
She truly loved him, but he didn’t feel the same and quickly moved on to another woman.
She looks back on that one-sided love and mocks herself… yet she still can’t suppress the feelings she had for him.
Many listeners will relate to the lyrics, which portray the complex emotions of knowing it’s hopeless but being unable to do anything about it.
tobacco / cigarette(s)Koresawa
This is one of singer-songwriter Koresawa’s signature songs, which garnered strong support from younger listeners when it was released.
The song depicts a scene where the man she lived with has left their apartment, and the narrator recalls their past as she looks at the cigarettes he left behind.
If your ex-boyfriend smoked, seeing a pack of his cigarettes or catching their scent might bring him back to mind—this song captures exactly those feelings.
It’s a track that lays bare a torrent of regret and lingering attachment, cutting straight to the heart.
So she’s not your girlfriend, huh?Ueno Yūka
This song by singer Yuka Ueno was written and composed by Yohei Hashiguchi, the vocalist of the rock band wacci, known for “Betsu no Hito no Kanojo ni Natta yo.” Knowing that, when you see the title “Anata no Kanojo ja Nain da ne” (I’m Not Your Girlfriend, Right?), you can really sense Hashiguchi’s signature touch.
The song depicts a scene where the protagonist reunites with her ex-boyfriend, expresses her gratitude with a heartfelt “Thank you for everything,” and properly brings their relationship to an end.
You can keenly feel the lingering attachment the female protagonist still carries, and reading the lyrics makes it impossible not to be moved by a deep sense of poignancy.
I became someone else’s girlfriend.wacci
This song sparked a storm of mixed reactions, especially online.
It was created by the rock band wacci, and Yohei Hashiguchi’s husky vocals are irresistible.
The lyrics depict the feelings of a woman who, while still hung up on her ex, has started dating a new boyfriend.
What’s more, there are many lines that compare the ex with the new boyfriend, and from them you can clearly feel her lingering attachment to the ex, which makes it all the more bittersweet.
It’s a track that captures the complexities of love, and it’s no wonder it became known as an ultimate tearjerker of a heartbreak song.
weeping cherry (blossom)ANNA
A heartbreak song by singer-songwriter Anna.
Rather than being dumped and breaking up, it portrays someone who chooses to end things in order to clearly sort out her feelings and graduate from a not-so-great relationship.
Although it’s written from a female perspective, many listeners may have taken actions like the protagonist—or at least relate to her choices.
It’s a track you’ll want to listen to when you’re ready to shake off a past love and step forward into something new.

First Love KillerNoashi (Noa)
This work portrays a protagonist who flits from boy to boy—“caught one in Shibuya,” “hung out in Shimokita,” “met up in Shinjuku.” It’s a track released by Noshi in May 2024, with an addictive, rock-leaning sound that sticks in your ears.
Even after a warning from the goddess of love—“Don’t do it”—she ignores it and gets toyed with by someone with a devilish allure, depicted with a humorous touch.
In the end, she looks forward with a wry smile, saying, “First love is just like this.” On the Billboard JAPAN Hot 100, it jumped from No.
42 to No.
17 in May 2024.
Recommended for those being strung along in unrequited love or feeling worn out by romance.
