[2026] A roundup of classic and popular Western songs about jealousy

Blank SpaceTaylor Swift

Taylor Swift – Blank Space

This is a song by Taylor Swift, who can now be considered a top global artist.

While it features sweet words, it’s sung from the perspective of a woman who loves passionately and often.

Since she herself is known for her many romances, she might even be singing about herself.

You can sense the feelings of a cute, slightly mischievous woman.

For men, that’s probably irresistible.

Britney Spears – Perfume (Official Video)

A gem of a love song by Britney Spears that delicately portrays the sweetness and ache of young love.

The lyrics, written almost like diary entries, leave a strong impression as they capture the anxiety and jealousy born from deep feelings for someone.

Released in 2013 as the second single from the album “Britney Jean,” the track blends 80s-influenced synth-pop with elements of a power ballad.

Written for women dealing with heartbreak, it’s a song that offers comfort to anyone struggling with love.

It’s recommended not only for those experiencing unrequited love, but also for anyone feeling the frustrations of romance.

Want U BackCher Lloyd

Cher Lloyd – Want U Back (US Version)

This is the one song I absolutely want girls with unrequited love for their ex to listen to.

“I still want you to come back,” “I get jealous of other girls”—those honest, pure feelings are so relatable.

The colorful music video is also really fun to watch.

Giving MeJazzy

Jazzy – Giving Me (Official Visualiser)

Irish singer-songwriter Jazzy.

The track she released that has hit number one on numerous music charts is “Giving Me.” It’s a song with an EDM-like vibe.

The danceable sound and the simple structure that repeats the title phrase are addictive.

Also, pay attention to the longing for the other person expressed in the lyrics.

Its single-minded devotion is moving, and it feels like a song that could comfort you when you’re in a similar mood.

UnfaithfulRihanna

Rihanna – Unfaithful (Official Music Video)

For those looking for a slightly deranged breakup song, I recommend “Unfaithful.” The lyrics are basically an orthodox breakup song, but the chorus ends with the chilling line, “I don’t want to be a murderer.” It portrays the feelings of a woman who catches the person she loves with another woman—raw and terrifying, right? (lol) The melody is also heavy, matching the lyrics perfectly.

Love The Say You LieEminem

Eminem – Love The Way You Lie ft. Rihanna

This is a love song by Eminem, whose relentlessly refined rapping—especially his high-speed delivery and flow—gives him overwhelming charisma that few can match.

It’s also easy to pick up as a karaoke song and is a cool track for men in their twenties to sing.

Crazy In LoveBeyoncé

Beyoncé – Crazy In Love (Live)

It’s “Crazy in Love,” the global smash hit by American songstress Beyoncé.

In Japan, the song also gained popularity after Naomi Watanabe did a parody.

It’s a happy love song that conveys the giddy excitement of a woman who’s madly in love.
