Screw the love ballads! Songs about being single are way better.
Here are singlecityTO’s top 10 picks.
1) Single ladies by Beyonce
Of course this would be number 1. It’s got a great beat, fun to dance too and even guys like it. So why not make like Beyonce and rock a black-one shouldered bodysuit.
Listen to the song again and prepare to laugh
2) Fuck you by Cee Lo Green
Whether it’s Cee Lo’s version or Gwyneth Paltrow singing this catchy number you can’t help but sing along. Plus, it feels good to cuss off an ex.
3) Ridin’ Solo by Jason Derulo
I’m feeling like a star, you can’t stop my shine; I’m loving cloud nine, my head’s in the sky.
This song has never made ridin’ solo so epic.
Facebook should get the memo and have a ridin’ solo option instead of single.
4) Shiny Happy People by REM
Just like the title, this song is an instant mood booster. The chorus of the song is a bit cheesy but the song in general is awesome. The song has appeared in many pop culture hits such as Fahrenheit 9/11 and Marley & Me. This hit also features back up vocals by a member of the B-52’s.
5) Stronger by Britney Spears
Its Britney bitch!
This song is one of Britney’s most popular singles. It is incredibly uplifting and gives you a confidence booster. The video may be a little raunchy with Britney humping the chair and all but the song makes being single fierce.
6) Bulletproof by La Roux
This catchy hit is for people who have been burned by a relationship. It’s about how the next time your in a relationship you are not going to get hurt again. You’re going to be bulletproof. Although, the message isn’t happy, it is inspiring and that is what makes the song so great.
7) It’s my life by Bon Jovi
This ain’t a song for the broken- hearted
This classic Bon Jovi hit not only rocks, but it is also inspirational. Just like the title of the song suggest, it is about taking control, not letting others get you down and doing what you want to do.
8) 99 Problems by Jay Z
If you’re havin’ girl problems i feel bad for you son
I got 99 problems but a bitch ain’t one
This song is just epic in general. Who doesn’t get a kick out of yelling out the chorus? It’s a great feel good single song about not having to deal with girl problems. Let’s face it- girl problems can be a bitch.
9) Bye Bye Bye by Nsync
This one is mostly for the girls, but it works for guys too. It’s about saying goodbye to a boyfriend/girlfriend for good. Plus, it is great to dance too!
10) Don’t Worry Be Happy- Bobby McFerrin
Title says it all. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
