12 best songs to get over your terrible ex
We’ve all been there. We break up with someone toxic, or they break up with us — either way, one of the best ways to get over them is through music. Specifically music all about getting over a bad relationship and reminding yourself that you are better off!
We asked our Instagram followers to send us their best recommendations for songs for this mix — 8 of the 12 of them made the cut, and the rest we’ll save for future versions of this mix!
You can listen to the episode on your podcast player of choice, or on Spotify where we include the music tracks. You can also listen to the mix itself on Spotify here.
Here are the 12 songs:
I Don’t Fuck With You by Big Sean / E 40
Basically: I don’t care about what you’re doing. I’m doing my own thing now!
Blood In The Cut by K.Flay
The desire for noise/distraction after a breakup!

I want you, I need you, but I’m never going to love you — hey, two out of three ain’t bad.
