As the title suggests, this is a song about feelings for an ex-boyfriend.

Some say it’s Perry singing to her former fiancé Zayn (formerly of One Direction).

Indeed, when you look at the lyrics, there are several details—like tattoos—that seem to fit Zayn.

This is a song from when there were five members before one left.

Zayn’s high notes and beautiful voice feel just right.

It’s a breakup song, but for fans, it might also feel like a song expressing their feelings toward Zayn after he left.

True to One Direction’s style, it’s a sweet song.

So WhatP!nk

This song expresses the feelings of a bold girl who insists she’s totally fine without you.

It’s a catchy, up-tempo track that uses the popular phrase “So what.” There’s no doubt yelling it out loud will help you blow off some steam.

It’s a famous song that also won a Grammy.

Sam Smith has come out as gay.

Although the song is from a male perspective, some of the expressions feel a bit feminine, which might have made it relatable regardless of gender and helped it become a huge hit.

Sia – Chandelier (Official Video)

Rather than a breakup song, it might be a song about a girl who’s troubled by being the convenient one.

The music video for this track drew attention in Japan for its incredible dance.

It features just one young girl as the dancer, but once you start watching, there’s something captivating that pulls you in.
