There's no 'just being friends' now...
Adele - Send My Love (To your New Lover)
The cockney lass has achieved global success by wearing her heart on her sleeve. Her soulful and passionate album, 21, which was released in 2011 was inspired by the singer's heartbreak. In her latest album, 25, she takes a different, more 'so totally over it' approach.
Taylor Swift- We Are Never Getting Back Together
Okay, it would be almost impossible to put together this list without mentioning the ex-slammer herself, Taylor Swift. This girl has absolutely no shame when it comes to song writing. Whether it's John Mayer, Harry Styles or Calvin Harris, there's dirt to be dished, and songs are her best way to do it. We Are Never Getting Back Together is, hands down, her most direct tune about moving on.
Calvin Harris - My Way
The Scottish DJ might not be known for drama and ex bashing, but he dared to take on the pro, Taylor Swift. Following their summer split, the pair quickly turned toxic and now six months later we're watching the tennis match of attacks. Calvin's latest response comes from his new release, My Way, said to be inspired by Taylor.
Lily Allen - Smile
It's often said that living well is the best revenge, but what's the use of all that beatific sense of closure if you can't somehow rub it in the face of your rotten, cheating ex? This is the genie of emotion Lily Allen bottles in Smile.
Beyoncé - Irreplaceable
Okay, in 2016 we have seen some pretty to the point ex bashing from Bey, but Lemonade eat your heart out. Always a class act, Beyoncé owns the 'do I care?' look as she kicks her ex out. It oozes sass and we here at the Chooniverse, love sass. Keep it coming.
Little Mix - Shout Out to My Ex
Break up songs are pretty inevitable, most of them go by unnoticed for some time before we twig what's really going on. That said, however, the chances of us not noticing a break up anthem when it's a celebrity feud is pretty slim. Little Mix have totally embraced this fact and gone all out and thrown shade to Perrie's ex-boyfriend, Zayn Malik for all the world to see.
The song finds Ariana singing about her insecurities about renewing a relationship with a former boyfriend whom she knows isn't good for her. Needy? Absolutely not, this song is the absolute definition of moving on.
Fleetwood Mac - Go Your Own Way
Believe it or not, gossip existed before the millennium. Fleetwood Mac's Go Your Own Way off their best seller album Rumours, is full of exactly that, rumours. Fights within the band were reportedly, never ending.
Ed Sheeran - Don't
The Surrey born song writer has become an English sweetheart over the years and has warmed to the masses with Lego House, A Team and a cameo appearance in Bridget Jones' Baby, but that doesn't mean there's no bite to his bark. Don't is an unapologetic shout out. Ed has publicly stated that this is exactly what happened.
Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know ft. Kimbra
Belgian born Wally De Backer is an indie rock singer-songwriter who records under the name of Gotye. Somebody That I Used To Know was written and recorded by Gotye at his parents' house about his experiences with past relationships.
Ellie Goulding - Figure 8
Ellie has never made it a secret that her songs are all motivated by the main events in her life, her break up with Radio 1 DJ, Greg James, was one of them. She said: Greg and I are still friends. Yes, I was worried about what he'd think about these songs but he's heard them and is fine. He's always been a fan of my music," she continued, "that's how we met. I don't think he takes it too seriously."
