7 songs to forget about your ex for good

Ending a relationship is an unpleasant situation, regardless of the problems the couple might face when they were together. But worse than ending a relationship is ending a relationship and still remembering your ex every time you play those songs you used to enjoy together. At these times, that nostalgia hits, that sadness for having ended or even that anger at the “wasted” time during dating.

And it seems that the sadder you are about the end of the relationship, the more sad and romantic songs will appear in your life, whether on the car radio, in your friends’ social media shares, in the form of ambient music from elevators around or even from the mall’s food court.

The impression it gives is that your ex has hired all the stereos in the world to play only the songs that remind you of him.

What is the solution? Turn on the sound at maximum volume and enjoy without fear of being happy these 7 songs, which seem to have been made to raise self-esteem and let go of your ex once and for all.

1 – Part of Me (Katy Perry)

Katy Perry, that beautiful one, always teaching us how to behave as an independent and self-possessed woman. The whole song is delicious, but the real ex-boyfriends insecticide is the chorus: “this is the part of me that you never gonna ever take away from me”, or “this is the part of me that you never will take it from me”, says the singer. And who would dare doubt it, Katy?

2 – Pray (Rita Lee)

Is there a better solution to exorcising the ex’s ghost than a very well said prayer? For Rita Lee, it doesn’t exist. That is why she enumerates in the song several supplications to God, so that he will protect her from all the water that he is – why not? – her current possibles are pleading against her. The music is calm but very fun. And it doesn’t hurt to try to accompany the singer in her requests for protection against the evil eye.

3 – Man! I feel like a woman (Shania Twain)

All right, Shania Twain’s music is already part of a slightly dusty repertoire, but it’s still an anthem for powerful women. The mix of “men’s shirts, short skirts” (men’s shirt, short skirts) continues to represent well what we have become – women who earn their own living without losing the essence. The rest of the lyrics speak for themselves, one hell of a woman going out at night to have fun, without having to satisfy any man. Perfect for anyone who needs to boost morale.

4 – Pure Ecstasy (Red Baron)

Excellent representative of the maxim “old, but gold”. The Red Baron’s song is about a young lady who leaves the house dressed to kill and ready for a lively night out. “Red nail polish, hair dye, feet in high heels, full of desire.” Perfect for warming up for a party or yelling at friends in the car.

5 – So what? (Pink)

“So what?” asks Pink, after losing her husband – in an incredibly funny way. “So what? I’m still a rock star!, or “So what? I’m still a rock star!” reads the beginning of the chorus. Extra credits for the hilarious clip that accompanies the song, equally lively.

6 – My mistake (Paralamas do Sucesso)

The guys from Paralamas do Sucesso were inspired when they wrote this one. “My mistake was believing that being by your side would be enough”, they sing, in a clear declaration of disappointment towards their ex.

7 – Smile (Lily Allen)

The cutie Lily Allen tells the story of an ex of the most scoundrels and how she has fun watching him run after her again. “At first, when I see you cry, yeah, it makes me smile”, or “in the first place, when I see you cry, yes, it makes me laugh”, sings the girl, triumphant, and completes: “”at worst I feel bad for a while, but then I just smile”. All this topped off by a clip as cute as she is.
