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

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.

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.

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
