Ariana Grande's new single and the top 10 songs about exes
- Published
After listening to Ariana Grande's latest single in which she sings about her ex-boyfriends, it got us thinking about some of the most famous songs about exes and breaking up. Thank you - next picture!
"Shout Out To My Ex" was released just over a year after Perrie Edwards was dumped by Zayn Malik. "Forget that boy, I'm over it" sings Perrie triumphantly. Go girl!
It's not known who Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself" is about but it contains one of the best insults in pop - "My mama don't like you and she likes everyone". Ooh - harsh, Justin! Sadly for any Bieber romance rumours, it was actually written by Ed Sheeran.
Talking of Ed Sheeran, he married his childhood sweetheart so it's a bit surprising he wrote so many break-up songs! "Photograph" is one of those songs for when you feel things aren't quite working out.
Taylor Swift's break-up song "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" is one we like to sing along to in the Newsround office. It was Taytay's first number one in the US - and reached number 4 in the UK charts.
"Irreplaceable" was a single from Beyonce's B'Day album in 2006. The song's message is about how ever much she loved her partner, they're not irreplaceable! Wise words. Everyone sing along - "To the left, to the left".
Some of Adele's break-up ballads are just made for a good weep! "Never mind I'll find someone like you, I wish nothing but the best for you" she tells an ex.
"You told me you love me, why did you leave me all alone" Justin Timberlake sings in "Cry Me a River". Cheer up, Justin! The rumours have always been that it was inspired by his ex girlfriend, Britney Spears.
"Stitches" was nominated for a Teen Choice Award in the US. It was Shawn Mendes' third single from his first album. The UK loved it so much, it hit the top spot in the UK charts.
"Since U Been Gone" comes from the first winner of American Pop Idol. Kelly Clarkson sealed her place as a star after releasing this catchy break-up track!
