Boys will be (f*ck)boys. They make you cry, laugh, and fall in love again only to break your heart and make you cry some more. The best cure for getting over them is to dance it out, scream at the top of your lungs, and have a good cry. Here are my top eight songs for each treatment method. So mix 'em, match 'em, and grab some ice cream, because, honey, you are going to get over him and be better than before.
Crank up the speakers, grab some friends, and dance it out to some of my favorite jams.
1) "Crave You" by Flight Facilities feat. Giselle, for the boy who won't give you the time of day and the rest don't cut it.
2) "Ego" by Beyoncé feat. Kanye West, for the boy with a big ego when bigger isn't always better.
3) "F*ck You" by Lily Allen, for the boy who's actually the worst.
4) "I Like You So Much Better When You’re Naked" by Ida Maria, for the boy who's only attractive when he's not talking.
5) "Love Yourself" by Justin Bieber, for the boy who makes you take a step back.
6) "Sorry" by Beyoncé,for the boy who needs a middle finger and strong goodbye.
7) "Potential Breakup Song" by Aly & AJ, for the boy who forgets your birthday.
8) "Ugly Heart" by G.R.L., for the boy with the pretty smile and terrible personality.
Screaming the lyrics to one of your favorite songs at the top of your lungs has healing powers. For best results, have a best friend drive you around as you bump tunes.
1) "Bad Day" by Darwin Deez, for the boy you can only wish the worst for.
2) "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood, for the boy who cheats and cares more about his truck than you.
3) "Dirty Little Secret" by The All American Rejects, for the boy who wants to keep it on the DL.
4) "Gives You Hell" by The All American Rejects, for the boy you lost all fond feelings for.
5) "I Hope You Have A Shitty Christmas" by Landon Tewers, for the boy you dated last holiday season and only wish the worst for.
6) "Mr. Brightside" by The Killers, for the boy you catch who does you rips out your heart.
7) "Someone Like You" and/or "Hello" by Adele, for the boy from your past you'll always have feelings for.
8) "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Moriset, for the boy who's new bae doesn't hold a candle to you.
Sometimes you need to lay in bed and cry until you can't anymore. Body pillows are better cuddlers than boys, anyway. Take a break from Netflixing and Facebook stalking to listen to these.
1) "Almost Lover" by a Fine Frenzy, for the boy who made you fall for him hard only to walk out.
2) "Burn" by Phillipa Soo from Hamilton, for the boy who ruined up it all (you can literally hear her heart break).
3) "Dickhead" by Kate Nash, for the boy who treats you terribly.
4) "idfc" by Blackbear, for the boy who turns you into a hopeless fool.
5) "i hate u, i love u" by gnash feat. olivia o'brien, for the boy you hate to love (this song is everything).
6) "Skinny Love" by Birdy (no Bon Iver), for the boy who was too stupid to admit his feelings and let you slip like sand through his hand.
7) "Take A Bow" by Rihanna, for the boy who put up a good show before you saw through his act.
8) "Unsteady" by X Ambassadors, for the boy who shakes your world until you're grasping for anything.
Bonus song: "Two Lips" (Acoustic Version) by Hoodie Allen, for the boy who broke my heart freshman year. I have no idea why I liked this song so much, but I danced, screamed, and cried to it all at the same time.
Bonus bonus song: Any Taylor Swift song ever. She's the queen of breakups.
