Western pop songs to help you get over a broken heart (61–70)
Love yourselfJustin Bieber
This is a song by the world-famous Justin Bieber.
With its melancholic sound, it might seem like a downbeat track at first, but once you really listen, it truly touches the heart.
It’s a song that lets you take your time, cry a lot, and relieve your stress.
It’s A Beautiful DayMichael Bublé
“This Is a Beautiful Day”—what a wonderful title.
It’s sure to sweep away any negative thoughts.
The lyrics and sound encourage a can-do, positive mindset.
I definitely recommend listening while watching the music video.
Gold StepsNeck Deep
Pop-punk music has a guaranteed energizing effect on listeners.
Neck Deep’s “Gold Steps” is a track bursting with streetwise summer vibes that makes you want to rush outside and do something right away.
It’s uplifting!
Love AgainPentatonix
It sings about how one’s sense of self unravels in the wake of heartbreak.
It forcefully asserts, “I’m not the one who’s wrong—the one who needs correcting is you.” Despite being performed by only five members, it has a volume and weight that defy that number.
As you can sense from the making-of footage, it portrays a slightly psychopathic kind of heartbreak in love.
Killing in the nameRage Against The Machine
With Rage Against the Machine’s destructive sound and Zack de la Rocha’s aggressive rap vocals, it’s the kind of music that clears your head just by listening.
It helps relieve stress and will have you bouncing back from heartbreak in no time.
Be sure to sing it at karaoke and feel refreshed.
