F*ck Love

1) HEARTBREAK SONGS TO SCREAM IN THE CAR

This playlist is dedicated to the hurt souls who want to stick their middle fingers to cupid, no matter the reason. Breakups are hard, no matter the circumstances.

Highlighted Song:

No Scrubs – TLC

If you didn’t scream this at least once with your friends in grade school or high school, you’re lying.

No, I don't want no scrubs

A scrub is a guy that can't get no love from me

Hangin' out the passenger side of his best friend's ride

Trying to holla at me

Classic!

Boys Like You (Acoustic) – Anna Clendening

So when you hold me, am I the only one?

Do you wanna know me, or is this all just for fun?

Momma said there'd be boys like you

Tearing my heart in two, doing what you do, best

Taking me for a ride, telling me pretty little lies

Highlighted Song:

It's All Coming Back to Me Now - Radio Version – Céline Dion

If you’ve never belted this one in your living room, you’re missing out. The true, iconic meaning of a power ballad. Go listen to the whole thing now . . . I’ll wait.

It's all coming back, it's all coming back to me now

There were moments of gold

And there were flashes of light

There were things we'd never do again

But then they'd always seemed right

There were nights of endless pleasure

It was more than all your laws allow

The MEAT LOAF & MARION RAVEN version is also iconic. You just can't go wrong with this song!
