Songs about boyfriends can help us better communicate our feelings to those we love. Underrated pop star Sara Bareilles once said, “I’m not going to write you a love song ’cause you asked for it,” but that doesn’t mean your boyfriend doesn’t deserve an ode dedicated to him.

Whether you’re in a new relationship and want to dedicate a love song to your new boo or you just found out your partner cheated and you want to scream about it at the top of your lungs, there’s a song about boyfriends for almost any occasion. Sometimes, only a good old fashioned sing-along can help you truly understand your feelings. Embrace your inner Sara Bareilles, don’t write someone a love song when there are hundreds of thousands ready and waiting to be added to your playlist right now.

We rounded up our favorite songs about boyfriends to add to your playlist right now. From love songs to break-up anthems, blasting these songs at peak volume will help you get all your feelings out.
