Get Through Your Break Up with These 5 Classic Songs |

Let’s face it, break ups are a part of life. There may be some tears shed, long nights of reminiscing on the good times, and maybe even some moments of anger.

However time truly heals all things and an optimistic attitude doesn’t hurt either!

Take Insecure actress Yvonne Orji’s attitude on her recent break up from ESPN analyst, Emmanuel Acho. She revealed during her Jesus and Jollof podcast that her and Acho have decided to call it quits.

Orji mentioned a friend calling post break up and saying “It’s ok, you can be mad.” To which she responded “….no I’m OK.”

Orji credits her strong trust in God for her optimistic attitude. She told podcast listeners, “I just have to say, the reason I am so good and so happy is because I know how God works.” Good for you, you go girl! We are rooting for you, as well as for Emmanuel Acho, who seems like a good guy. Sometimes things just don’t work out.

Let’s not forget that a healing process does need to take place. I have compiled a list of songs that can get any hopeless romantic over a break up. Check out below!

“Comfortable” by Lil Wayne

With Wayne’s clever lyrics, Kanye’s banging beat, and Babyface’s smooth chorus, this song will have you wiping your tears and remembering that you are in fact ALL THAT!

2. “Since U Been Gone” by Kelly Clarkson

Release that built up tension and jump around your room singing “Since you been gone, I can breathe for the first time” with American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson!

3. “Get Gone” by Ideal

Hopefully you experienced a fairly clean break up, if not this song is for you! R&B group Ideal reads their no good ex everything wrong she committed and then in Martin Lawrence fashion demands that she “Get to Steppin!’

4. “Me, Myself, and I” by Beyonce

We will never forget this classic reminder that we must depend on ourselves to be happy!

5. “Epiphany” Chrisette Michele

This actually came out during a time that I was personally going through a nasty breakup. This song got me through many nights and I’m sure it has helped countless others, as Chrisette bravely belts out all her ex’s conniving ways and how she is totally OVER IT.
