Breaking up is hard to do. It’s even harder when there are millions of fans following your every move.
For some of our favorite pop stars in the music industry, the ending of a relationship has provided the creative fodder for some of the best breakup songs of our time. Time and time again, artists put their pain into poetry, producing highly relatable and deeply emotional tunes about the demise of a romance.
Over the years, several high-profile relationships have come to an end, and one (or both) parties have channeled their emotions into music. They’ve also either outright revealed who the song is about in interviews, or provided enough context clues in the lyrics to figure out who it’s probably about.
