10 Songs To Celebrate Your Freedom After A Break Up

10. Cry Me A River - Justin Timberlake

Often referred to as JT’s giant FU to Britney Spears, Cry Me A River sees a heartbroken Timberlake losing sympathy for the girl who broke his heart. The song is filled with bitterness and spite and a satisfying kiss-off to a lover who has clearly done him wrong.

This song really helped to solidify Justin Timberlake’s post-N Sync career as an R&B chart topper. The video saw his image transition from clean-cut teen bopper to a sultry, contemporary artist. It also marked the first collaboration between JT and producer Timbaland - it was the start of a beautiful pop duo friendship.

Cry Me A River may start off slow and slightly sad but by the end it's clear that JT wants revenge. By crooning ”Bridges have burned, now it’s your turn to cry”, he hopes she will feel the pain he felt while he begins to move on.
