Breaking up is never easy, I know. There are various stages post-breakup that people tend to go through. After all, everyone processes breakups differently. You may be ready to move on immediately while your best friend lies on their couch in sweatpants while eating ice cream for days. But one thing’s for sure, for each stage, we have a song that we will cry, scream or simply use as an anthem to embrace our singlehood with – and that’s perfectly okay. Let’s be real though, are they really ‘breakup anthems’ if they weren’t from the 2000s? That’s the era where Britney was dating Justin and *N SYNC was still a thing. The days when we sat and watched them crown American Idols that we never heard from again (sans Kelly Clarkson and Kelly Underwood, of course) and when Destiney’s Child was made up of more members than they have now.
So of course, we’re going to revisit the banging tunes we cried, danced and screamed to because they still deserve a place on our “Breakup Anthems” playlists.
Kelly Clarkson — “Since U Been Gone”
Breakup lyrics: But since you been gone / I can breathe for the first time / I’m so movin’ on, yeah, yeah / Thanks to you / Now I get what I want
