Feeling sorry for yourself because you're single on Valentine's Day? We've all been there! Instead of moping around and giving someone else your power, consider putting on some of these iconic, empowering bops to throw your own love party! Because after all, there's nothing wrong with being single and independent!
Did your latest fling with a random Grindr trick not end up panning out into a committed relationship? If it didn't, there's an easy explanation why: he simply wasn't man enough for you, queen!
99 percent of the songs we listen to the other 364 days of the year are love songs, but by the time Valentine's Day rolls around, we're sick and tired of most of them—and Lauv and Troye get that!
If you ever need the great Tove Lo (pronounced like to-the-loo if you haven’t caught up yet) to remind you, these bitches might give you want you want for the night, but you can never trust them. Remember all the ways you’re better off alone.
Because self-love is always important, especially on Valentine's Day.
Self-worth is also extremely important! This bop from Kehlani's first EP is perfect to remind yourself that being single is perfectly fine, especially because you deserve better than a shitty relationship!
If you want to call on your inner rocker, bring Halestorm’s Love Bites (So Do I) onto your playlist immediately. This is the ultimate song about forgetting someone else for someone better — and that someone better being you.
The original Miss Indepedent anthem!!
So "Correct" might not be explicitly about romantic love, but it definitely makes us feel powerful AF! And we want to feel poweful on Valentine's Day!
If there’s someone in particular you’re thinking of, maybe spending time reflecting on what your life was like before them will help you release whatever inner demons you’re feeling.
If your S.O. is doing you dirty, then listen to Mariah's original "DUMP THEM" anthem and kick their ass to the curb!
Because, well… you don’t. And if you’d rather empower yourself rather than mope during this time of singleness, this song could fit the bill perfectly.
Single on V Day? Good!! Relationships are just one less problem to worry about!
Ri-Ri is here to remind you that you don't need them, they need YOU.
OF COURSE we have to include "Single Ladies" on this list!
Your loneliness ain’t killin’ you no more, sweetie. As Britney says, so shall it be, and you are stronger than yesterday, so put on them boots and let your single flag fly high!
