1. I Look so Good (without You) by Jessie James

On iTunes at: itunes.apple.com

Being single doesn't mean you have to be miserable. Jessie James assumes that she'll feel empty when her boyfriend leaves her, but she actually ends up feeling whole. Her skin looks clearer, her hair looks shinier, and her eyes look brighter. Her entire appearance changes--for the better. This is one of the songs to help you get over a guy and make you feel as gorgeous as ever.

2. The King of Wishful Thinking by New Found Glory

On iTunes at: itunes.apple.com

This is an upbeat song that will help you forget all about him. Like the song says, it might take some time, but it'll happen eventually. You just have to think positively. If you're a fangirl that enjoys 'shipping' things, you'll get extra enjoyment out of the song's oceanic theme.

3. Goodbye by Kristinia DeBarge

On iTunes at: itunes.apple.com

This song is empowering. It tells women that they don't have to sit in a corner crying about their failed relationships. Being single and hanging out with your girls can be a blast! You don't need a man to be happy.

4. You Don't Mean Anything by Simple Plan

On iTunes at: itunes.apple.com

Anger is an acceptable reaction when it comes to breakups. You don't want to hold onto that rage for too long, which is why a song like this is perfect to get rid of that emotion. Blast this, or any one of Simple Plan's songs for that matter, and scream along to the lyrics. It might annoy your neighbors, but it'll help your heart.

From the empowering lyrics to the uplifting melodies, Switchfoot has a knack for creating music that speaks to the soul. Women from all walks of life should not miss to listen to these amazing Switchfoot hits that are sure to provide an inspiring soundtrack to their daily lives. Embrace your unique journey with Switchfoot's empowering tune playing in the background.

5. Don't Want You Back by Backstreet Boys

On iTunes at: itunes.apple.com

Your favorite songs as a child can be useful as an adult. Dust off your old Millenium album and pop it into your laptop. You're sure to remember the words, so say them with feeling. Even if you love someone, you have to let them go if they're no good for you. The BSB wouldn't still be together if they gave bad advice, so you should listen up.

6. Someday's Gone by the All-American Rejects

On iTunes at: itunes.apple.com

Once you break up with someone, the entire future that you had in your head suddenly disappears. The All-American Rejects sing about how devastating the event can be--but pose some helpful questions about perfection and worth. Not everything about your past relationship was great, so stop treating your ex like they were perfect.

7. I Can do Better by Avril Lavigne

On iTunes at: itunes.apple.com

This song will help you realize that you're better off without your ex. You can do better, and you will. Don't worry about whether or not you'll find another guy to date, because it'll happen one day. I promise.

It's normal to mourn over a failed relationship, but you can't dwell on it forever. Listen to these songs in order to get over your ex and move on in life. What other songs do you play when you're upset over a guy?
