10 Songs To Celebrate Your Freedom After A Break Up
6. Needed Me - Rihanna
Anyone who has ever been through a tumultuous relationship can find inspiration through Ri Ri’s body of work. It’s no secret that she went through hell in an abusive relationship but she came out the other end as one of the greatest female artists of our time. She exudes confidence and definitely does not need a man to define her.
Rihanna’s Needed Me is a mellow R&B tune that packs quite a punch as she asserts her independence and dismisses her lover’s neediness. In the line “Didn’t they tell you that I was a savage?”, she reminds everyone that they should never, ever underestimate her.
As we wait in eager anticipation for Rihanna’s ninth studio album (seriously, Ri, we’re dying here!) we’ll keep playing Anti and its platinum singles over and over again. Until then, Needed Me will remain one of our all time kiss-off anthems.
