He that’s great list of break-up songs Nero. But I think you left a couple of good songs also. One is Charlene by Anthony Hamilton. The record is really raw, gritty, soulful and amazing and the other is one of my favorite songs in the world Where I Wanna Be by Donell Jones. That song maybe is one of the best songs recorded. But hey that’s just my opnion. By the way is Where I Wanna Be is considered a break-up song. Some people say it is. Others it isn’t. Is it really. That’s all for now. Peace.

Mohammed,
You mentioned a couple of really good songs. In the case of “Charlene,” I just felt that even though it’s slow and sad, it doesn’t have quite the emotional impact of the songs that made the list. In particular, the chorus really doesn’t do it for me. But that’s just me.  Anyway, thanks for the input and for visiting the site.
