Whether we are the dumper or the dumpee the fact is simple: breakups suck.

And sometimes we won’t find the best advice from our mom or our best friend, but instead from music.

So I have compiled the Ultimate Breakup Playlist. Whether we got dumped, are the one that left, sad and angry or are looking for some “single ladies,” it is all here.

Because honestly, music is the best therapy. So let’s grab our Ben and Jerry’s, fire up Spotify and remember how beautiful and strong we are.
