20 Greatest Empowering Break-Up Songs

11. Stronger - Britney Spears

The History: From Britney's second album, Oops!...I Did It Again, she had another hit on her hands. It peaked number eleven in the US and seven in the UK. It's also certified gold in the US, New Zealand, Germany, France, Denmark, and Australia. Furthermore, the music video received a nomination for the MTV Video Music Awards for Best Pop Video in 2001.

Why It's Great: Andy Battaglia from Salon said this track €œcould crush the entire self-help industry with its melody alone€, and that's why it made it onto the list. While this track might not be Britney's biggest hit, it's the most up-lifting. It talks about taking control of your life, which can definitely happen after a break up, and becoming a little bit stronger each step of the way.

With its message and extremely danceable beat, this song is a winner. Even your grandmother could dance to this song, so go ahead and blast it while getting your groove on.
