While Audacy has plenty of love stations for those that are celebrating Valentine’s Day, we also have a station for those who think Valentine’s Day is a no good stinky dumb day that should never be celebrated again.

If you’ve recently uttered the phrase, “ew stop texting me we’re never getting back together again,” then Audacy’s Cry It Out is for you.

We all process breakups differently and whether you need to cry it out or slam your fist into your pillow out of anger, there’s a song that’ll help you through it. Check out these fantastic break up anthems that’ll make you forget all about your ex this Valentine’s day.

Sarah McLachlan - I Will Remember You

Let’s get the tears out of the way as fast as possible. The song is gorgeous, but it’s chock full of sadness. Grab a box of tissues, you’re going to need it.

Olivia Rodrigo - traitor

Olivia Rodrigo has no problems going scorched earth calling out an ex who ran to another lover as soon as their relationship ends. It hurts how relatable it is. This song is the middle finger emoji in music form.

Nazareth - Love Hurts

The 1975 Nazareth classic has an opening lyric that’s incredibly therapeutic. Head on into a comfortable space and just belt out “LOOOOOOOVVVVEEEEE HUUUUURRRRRTTTS.” Seriously, give it a try.

Ne-Yo - So Sick

Are you so sick of thinking about your ex? Seeing their photos pop up on your social media? Well then, this Ne-Yo song perfectly represents your feelings as it’s all about the struggle of letting go.

The All-American Rejects - Gives You Hell

If you were a teenager in the late 2000’s, this was THE song to play when you got mad about your ex. There’s nothing better than wishing your ex the best for their future, especially if that future involves seeing your face and having it “give them hell.”

Adele - Someone Like You

We have an article called “The 7 best Adele songs to drink wine and cry to” so you really have the pick of the litter when it comes to great Adele breakup songs.

Limp Bizkit - Break Stuff

This is about the furthest thing you can get from a love song. However, if it’s just one of those days… Well, take some time for yourself and put this song on full blast as you get all your anger at your ex out.
