Some singers and singers might make great life partners, but as soon as you dump them, it’s over: they’re composing hit songs to tell the world what a piece of shit you are. A brief overview of these artists who like to wash their dirty laundry in public and with whom it is better to stay on good terms.
Shakira
If we still haven’t understood how Gérard Piqué had done to cheat on his girlfriend, when his girlfriend was Shakira, the Colombian singer has integrated it well. And she got her revenge by making a song about him, based on “You traded a Ferrari for a Twingo, a Rolex for a Casio” or of “You’re not up to me and that’s why you’re with someone who is exactly like you”. He didn’t steal that one.
Cali
The singer had actually released two complete albums almost dedicated to his breakup, with songs like “I wish you to my worst enemy”, “I won’t live without you”and the classic ” She said “. His ex would have done better to take gloves to weigh him down, but at least it gave us plenty of cool songs to listen to when we found ourselves single.
Taylor Swift
Taylor and her exes have become such a running gag that the girl has released songs about them, with clips that are sometimes eloquent to say the least (look at the one below). She would have at least written about Joe Jonas, Jake Gyllenhaal, Harry Styles, John Mayer, Calvin Harris or even Tom Hiddleston. A bit resentful all the same.
Adele
A specialist in sad songs, Adele admitted that she was largely inspired by her ex, but announced in 2011 that she had forgiven him and be friends with him again. At the same time, she can forgive him given the success of the songs. Afterwards, you have to admit that she has always been nice to him, as evidenced by the words of Someone like you : “Never mind, I’ll find someone like you. I wish nothing but the best for you too. » Always so classy, the Adele.
Justin Timberlake
His cry me a river about Britney Spears, whose music video featured a Britney lookalike, has become one of the most famous breakup songs in the world. The lyrics, including a “The bridges have been cut, now it’s your turn to cry”, are quite clear. And we have to believe that Britney has still not digested it since she spoke about the song again no later than 2021 on her Insta account. Come on, move on Britney.
Camille Lellouche
Shortly after Rayane Bensetti got caught snogging (while he was in a relationship with dancer Denitsa Ikonomova), Camille Lellouche released a song about him: The Smoker. Apparently, their adventure ended badly, and Camille didn’t appreciate it. “You’re too tired, where did your balls go?” Yeah, you have to assume when you fuck up”… a little bit violent all the same the lyrics.
Miley Cyrus
Miley split from Liam Hemsworth multiple times over 10 years, and those multiple breakups resulted in multiple songs. Among the titles concerned, we can obviously count Wrecking-Ballbut also “Drive”, ” Slide “ or “Malibu”. It’s starting to do a lot for one man.
Ed Sheeran
His song Whose talks about his ex who cheated on him. The lyrics are rather explicit, since we can hear for example these words: “I never saw him as a threat, until you disappeared with him to have sex, of course it’s not like we were both on tour.” We were staying on the same fucking hotel floor. » Fans guessed it was singer Ellie Goulding who cheated on him with One Direction’s Niall Horan, but Ellie denied it. Mystery, then.
Eminem
Eminem had a rocky marriage with his ex-wife Kim, and he was already writing songs about her while they were still together. We think in particular of “Kim”, a song where Eminem puts himself in the shoes of a killer who would like to kill his wife because she was unfaithful. Charming. But after the breakup, the rapper continued to write songs with rather violent lyrics about his ex, talking about his drug use and his infidelities, among other things, and that has long been blamed on him. He had a hard time swallowing the pill it seems.
Adam Levine (Maroon 5)
We do not know who Adam Levine is talking about in the song Maps, but a priori it is an ex who badly let him down. the “I was there for you in your darkest times” strongly implies: you weren’t there. We hope that the ex in question is terribly angry.
