Breakup songs in Western music that you want to sing at karaoke: World-famous classics and popular tracks (21–30)

Sit Still, Look PrettyDaya

This is a song I recommend for strong women who know who they are.

Rather than becoming the kind of woman who appeals to girly men, I want to be someone who bends the world to her will.

It’s a song that expresses that feeling.

Becoming the cute girl your boyfriend likes is fine, but it might also be great to become a cool woman who stays true to herself.

It’s a breakup song for a strong, mature woman, sung by Fergie, the lone female member of the Black Eyed Peas.

Even if it’s just putting on a brave face, I want to be a woman who can say things like this.

The chorus has a slow melody, but the lyrics are catchy—you’ll find yourself humming along.

It’s a song sung by the female musician protagonist in the movie ‘Begin Again,’ and it matches the film so well that I keep listening to it on repeat.

Keira Knightley’s voice also fits the image of this song perfectly.

A poignant song by Kelly Clarkson that straightforwardly sings about the pain of heartbreak.

Included on the deluxe edition of the album “Chemistry,” it was released in September 2023.

The strength embedded in the lyric “I am an unextinguishable flame” and the resolve to sever ties with a past relationship are especially striking.

Clarkson’s powerful vocals are sure to encourage those trying to overcome a breakup.

Sing it at karaoke, and you’ll likely be able to release the emotions building up inside.

It’s a perfect track for anyone who has gone through a painful parting or needs the courage to step into a new stage of life.

It’s a song by a confident woman who, despite the breakup, insists she was never really serious.

This track was also used as the audition piece for joining the group in the movie Pitch Perfect.

The rhyming in the chorus feels really satisfying to sing.
