Whether you’re single and the happiest you’ve ever been, or mopey and depressed about your recent dumping, music is always the cure for any mood. Valentine’s Day has the tendency to bring out a number of emotions in us all, but especially in the single and reservation-less. So, I have put together a few songs to get your playlist for the night going, based on your outlook on this fateful night.
To help out all of you proud-to-be-single beings, here's a playlist for the most empowering drive of your life. Pack the car with all of your single-for-life companions, turn the radio all the way up and go treat yourself to junk food and ice cream.
1. "Me, Myself, and I" by Beyonce. “I took a vow that from now on. I'm gonna be my own best friend.”
2. "Single" by Natasha Bedingfield. “This is my current single status. My declaration of independence.”
3. "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cyndi Lauper. “When the working day is done. Girls, they want to have fun.”
4." Irreplaceable" by Beyonce. “So don't you ever for a second get to thinkin'. You're irreplaceable.”
5. "We Can’t Stop" by Miley Cyrus. “We run things. Things don’t run we. We don't take nothing from nobody.”
Now, for those of you who want to mope and be sad, here is your depressing playlist to listen to while you eat a whole heart box of chocolate and watch The Notebook.
1. "I Never Told You" by Colbie Caillat. “I miss everything about you. Can’t believe that I still want you.”
2. "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston. “We both know I’m not what you need. And I will always love you.”
3. "Say Goodbye" by Chris Brown. “There's never a right time to say goodbye, but we know that we gotta go our separate ways.”
4. "So Sick" by Ne-Yo. “So done with wishing you were still here. Said I'm so sick of love songs so sad and slow”
5. "What Hurts the Most" by Rascal Flatts. “Watching you walk away, and never knowing what could have been.”
These quick playlists are just a start to your Valentine's Day jam sessions.
