Breakup songs sung by female Western artists: World-famous and popular tracks (1–10)
He Wasn’tAvril Lavigne
This upbeat pop-punk song by Avril Lavigne sings about breaking up with a lover who treated her badly, realizing he wasn’t who she thought he was.
Although it’s a breakup song, its high-energy vibe makes it a track that can’t help but lift your spirits.
The SubwayChappell Roan
It’s a song that really builds up toward the second half.
In the first half, the chorus goes up to D5, but it’s not a section where you should belt, so aim for an airy, gentle delivery.
The tempo isn’t fast, so it’s easier if you learn it melody by melody.
If you’re not used to using falsetto, practice humming so you can switch smoothly between chest voice and falsetto.
In the first half, try projecting your voice upward, resonating in the area between the eyebrows or the head to create a light, open sound.
In the second half, the resonance gets a bit stronger, so direct the sound downward and resonate in the chest to bring out more power.
Try speaking or singing with a hand on your chest—you’ll feel strong vibrations there—then sing while focusing on that resonance!
I Wanna Go BackJordan Pruitt
This song by former popular Disney Channel star Jordan Pruitt is a heartbreaking breakup ballad in which a girl, feeling the emotional distance growing between her and her lover, wistfully sings that she wants to go back to the time when she was sure you were mine.
Part Of MeKaty Perry
This song by Katy Perry is an impressive dance-pop track with a powerful beat, and it’s said to have been written about her ex-boyfriend Travie McCoy.
The music video, in which she portrays a Marine, is also stunning, and the shoot reportedly took place over three days at an actual Marine Corps camp in California.
The Way I Loved YouSelena Gomez
In this ballad by Selena Gomez, she delivers an emotional portrayal of the sorrow of losing a cherished lover, acknowledging that while she may one day love someone else, she will never love them the way she loved you.
