When you’re feeling down after a heartbreak, I’d love for you to listen to this song while watching its music video.

The sound that lets you feel the vastness of the universe and the gentle synth tones will soothe a heart that’s on the verge of breaking.

When you’re struggling, I recommend grand, expansive songs like this.

Christina Aguilera – Fighter (Official HD Video)

Turning heartbreak into anger and expressing emotions without trying to hide them is incredibly bold—almost masculine—even though she’s a woman.

Her performance is so full of energy that, even after one listen, it doesn’t sound like a breakup song at all.

That’s how powerful it is.

As you can see in the music video, despite her strong, forceful vocals, Aguilera has a very cute face.

Karmin – Brokenhearted (Official Video)

The song title is downright straightforward.

It’s as if there’s nothing to hide—just boldly declaring “I got my heart broken.” If you only listen to the music, it’s so bright and upbeat you’d wonder if they really did get dumped.

It’s a full-course track packed with jealousy, regret, and sentimentality.

All I WantKodaline

Kodaline – All I Want (Part 1)

They’re a rock band from Ireland.

Their beautiful vocals and the simple, acoustic guitar-driven sound are captivating.

There’s a certain rustic quality that evokes Irish folk music, and it has a strangely nostalgic feel for anyone who listens.

The lyrics tell a bittersweet breakup story, but the music video ends on a fairly happy note.

Red Hot Chili Peppers – Dark Necessities [OFFICIAL AUDIO]

According to the vocalist Anthony, it seems this song was written when he had a dramatic breakup with a girlfriend he’d dated for about two years.

Red Hot Chili Peppers’ lyrics are surprisingly poetic, with many that make you think.

Anthony may look like a cheerful guy, but in his childhood he was commended at school for writing expressive poetry.

He says he was as cute as an angel when he was a child.

1 on the singles charts in Ireland and Scotland, and climbed to No.

Sensing the end of love yet wanting to cherish the final moments—this song resonates with anyone navigating such complex feelings.
