The Flipside

Ok, enough is enough. It's time to stop being a whiny little bitch. Stop listening to sad songs and start listening to badass "I'm way too good for you anyway" songs. I know, I know, you don't want to stop feeling sorry for yourself, but feeling angry and revengeful is way better anyway. Ok maybe that's not advisable, but feeling like you're above a situation puts you back in control. Self esteem goes up and you therefore automatically gain awesome points. Well done. 
Awesome new you - 1
Douche frog who broke your heart - 0
And gentlemen, don't think I'm being biased just because I'm a woman. We can be monsters sometimes, so I've tried to find some songs that you can be mad and manly too as well.
Let's do this.


So I've separated everything into categories (because I'm cool like that).


I'm over it and I'm better than you anyway:


Never Will Be Mine - Rye Rye ft. Robyn
"Hope she makes you happy or whatever, learn from the past - proceed, get better"

Rye Rye and Robyn take a tragic love song and give it a whole new perspective, turning it into pure awesomness.

Survivor - Destiny's Child

"Thought I couldn't breathe without you, I'm inhaling. Thought I couldn't see without you, perfect vision"

I think it's safe to say that this song became an anthem for women everywhere.

The Best You Never Had - Leona Lewis

"What you didn't see in me, well that's what you will never be"

The lyrics are on point. 

Eamon - I Don't Want You Back

I can't even put a quote.

Or a video.

But you get the idea...

Take A Bow - Rihanna

"You look so dumb right now standing outside my house, trying to apologise - you're so ugly when you cry"

Big fan of sarcasm, it always gets the point across whilst making the other person feel like an idiot. 

So What - Pink

"I'm gonna show you tonight, I'm alright, I'm just fine and you're a tool so..."

Yeah, I'm a rock star with rock moves and stuff so in your face.

Janet Jackson ft. Missy Elliot - Son Of A Gun

"I'm doing better without you and I'm happy without you"

Boom.

Go On Girl - Ne-yo

"Not a feeling in my chest, baby I'm feeling no stress, I'm too fly to be depressed"

The lyrics are self explanatory. Whatever man, no stress.

Best Thing I Never Had - Beyonce

"You turned out to be the best thing I never had and I'm gon' always be the best thing you never had, I bet it sucks to be you right now"

We weren't over yet but I'm sick you now so get out:


Call Tyrone - Erykah Badu

"I'm gon' tell you the truth, show and prove or get the boot"

Absolute perfection. Brilliant.

How Does It Feel - Keri Hilson

"You can keep on feelin' yourself, I'ma be with somebody else, better keep it real with yourself before you end up by yourself"

Not quite the aftermath of a break up yet, but she's getting there, and it feels good.

Irreplaceable - Beyonce

"So since I'm not your everything, how about I be nothing - nothing at all to you"

To the left, to the left.

I'm still angry at you and feeling somewhat revengeful:

Rolling In The Deep - Adele

"See how I'll leave with every piece of you, don't underestimate the things that I can do"

Probably one of the best post break-up songs ever. If I were her ex-boyfriend, I'd be ashamed. Ashamed and remorseful.

Body - Teairra Mari

"Just watch me, your new girl is so not me"

Perfect song for when you look smokin' hot and his new girlfriend looks like a man.

Hit 'em Up Style - Blu Cantrall 

"And I paid all the bills about a month too late, it's a shame we have to play these games, the love we had just fades away"

I have always wanted to do this, I can almost feel how good it would be.

Bust Your Windows - Jazmine Sullivan

"I must admit it helped a little bit to think of how you'd feel when you saw it"

She must have been really angry. She didn't just scratch his car or puncture a tyre - she broke all the windows. Wow.

Thanks, you actually did me a favour. A*****e

Thank  You - Jamelia

"You broke my heart, made me strong - thank you."

There's nothing worse than when you hurt someone and they're like "Thanks, you actually helped me. I feel sorry for you"

Fighter - Christina Aguilera

"'Cause if it wasn't for all that you tried to do I wouldn't know just how capable I am to pull through, so I wanna say thank you"

Another thank-you song. And the dark edgy video just makes you feel that much more uncomfortable.

I'm not quite over it yet but I'll get there:

Get Over U - Neon Hitch

"I'm taking a chance and I'm breaking free"

She's not saying that she's not in love anymore, but she'll get over it.

Cry Me A River - Justin Timberlake

"Your bridges were burned and now it's your turn to cry, cry me a river"

If you cheat on J, you must be out of your mind.

Bonus Track:

Beyonce Knowles is a Queen.
