As one of the most successful artists of all time, Mariah Carey has
built an empire for herself as a peerless vocalist and songwriter. Known for
her emotional ballads, Mariah has documented love in all forms over the course
of her illustrious career and has crafted some of the most heartrending
break-up anthems within the past twenty years. She's helped a generation of music lovers through the trials and tribulations of love with her songs. For anyone looking for a musical remedy to heartbreak, here are the top five Mariah Carey songs to listen to after a break-up.
“Love Takes Time”
An old school ballad with a simple message, “Love Takes Time” speaks of
the post-break-up pain with incredible honesty and relatability. It features
Mariah at the top of her game and is one of her most evocative ballads to date.
“Can’t Let Go”
It’s inevitable that at some point we find ourselves unable to move on
after a break-up and “Can’t Let Go” summarizes this occurrence perfectly.
Mariah is wounded and vulnerable on the ballad while the lyrics are resonant in
their frankness.
“Butterfly”
Even though it sucks to be dumped, sometimes it’s just as hard to let
someone go. “Butterfly” is one of Mariah’s most personal records to date with
its heartfelt lyrics of allowing a loved one to depart. The sweeping ballad can
be favourably compared to the iconic break-up anthem “I Will Always Love You.”
“We Belong Together”
A return to form for Mariah Carey, “We Belong Together” is one of her most
stirring ballads with its flawless vocals and devastatingly honest lyrics. The
track is made all the more affecting due to the impassioned note Mariah holds
during the song's conclusion.
“Someday”
Though she may be known for her weepy ballads, Mariah Carey can stand
her ground and dish out sass like any good diva. On her classic track “Someday,”
Mariah puts an ex in his place. The track proves nothing is better than the
satisfaction of knowing who the ‘winner’ is in the game of love.
