Storified by George Mattingly· Thu, Feb 14 2013 15:37:23P!nk - So Whatpinkvevo10. One way to cope with a relationship is to make fun of it. And smash things. That's exactly what Pink did when she wrote this song.She made divorce look like a party. Definitely a song to jam to for the humor.
La Roux - Bulletprooflarouxvevo9. Once you pissed off La Roux, don't expect to come crawling back. The lyrics of this song are blunt to get the point across: You're not going to pull that on me again. Still, the song has a great beat and it's catchy, making it an anthem to sing and dance to.
Britney Spears - Strongerbritneyspearsvevo8. It's Britney....bitch. This song makes loneliness look like a scared little puppy. Britney is fearless in this song and that is the perfect attitude to have being single. Not to mention those dance moves.
Gives You Hell (Full Narrative Version)allamericanrjctsvevo7. This song was all over the radio when it came out. And for good reason. The All-American Rejects offer a male perspective on a failed relationship. They weren't afraid to say "girls suck too" in this song and it was refreshing to hear. This is a great way to blast on your speakers and annoy your neighbors.
Carrie Underwood - Before He Cheatscarrieunderwoodvevo6. Carrie Underwood proves the old phrase "hell hath no furry like a woman scorned" in this song to show cheaters the consequences of their actions. This country revenge at it's best. My only question is do you feel sorry for the truck?
Kelly Clarkson - Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)kellyclarksonvevo5. Kelly Clarkson is not a stranger to writing great power anthems. This was just another hit on her list of songs inspired by bad relationships. The lyrics playful and empowering, making it great for any listener when they need a pick-me-up.
Cee Lo Green - Forget Youceelogreen4. If there ever was a song that got it's point across, it's this one. Cee Lo Green takes classic sounds and puts a modern twist on them to offer another perspective to a crappy relationship. He reminds us to watch out for the gold-diggers, an important lesson we can forget.
Beyoncé - Irreplaceablebeyoncevevo3. With it's catchy opening verse, "Irreplaceable" is easily one of Beyonce's most cleverly-written songs. It breaks down the ever-growing male ego to let people know that women can play the game too and that finding someone comes much easier when you're confident in yourself.
Adele - Rolling In The Deepadelevevo2. This was easily the song of 2012 as Adele exploded onto the music scene with her angry, soulful break-up song. Inspired by what she called a 'rubbish relationship', "Rolling in the Deep" is a song you don't forget with the powerful chorus and heartfelt lyrics.
Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know (Video)alaniscom1. How could we leave this one out of the countdown? Alanis Morissette is furious, bold and bitchy in this song. She not only makes her point, but she rubs it in your face and lets you taste it. The lyrics are great to scream at the top of your lungs while your driving on the highway with the windows down.
