- Bon Jovi, "You Give Love a Bad Name" (1986) This hair metal anthem operates at peak intensity from the opening line — “Shot through the heart/And you’re to blame.”
- Carpenters, “Goodbye to Love” (1972) Karen Carpenter was just 22 when she sang this poignant ballad, in which she seemed resigned to a life alone. The best moment: the tender way she sings “I guess I’ve always known.”
- Def Leppard, "Love Bites" (1987) “Pour Some Sugar on Me” might be the one that still gets play at sporting events and strip clubs, but follow-up single “Love Bites” was the lone Hysteria cut to top the Billboard Hot 100, the weary power ballad sinking the U.K.
- Bob Dylan, "Love Sick" (1997) Love wasn’t the only thing that Bob Dylan seemed like he was sick of on his 1997 masterpiece Time Out of Mind — the album certainly sounded like he was getting ready to check out altogether.

- Robyn, ‘Dancing On My Own’ A sadbanger for the ages, this. In 2016 Robyn’s most outstanding track was given a morose and incredibly popular makeunder – we were quite literally scratching our heads – by Britain’s Got Talent contestant called Calum Scott.
- Salen, ‘Heartbreak Diet’ One of the best tracks of 2017 was also a chirpy anti-Valentine’s song inspired by @textsfromyourex – it compares kisses to cola, and exes that won’t quit to gelatinous sweets stuck in your teeth.
- Public Image Ltd, ‘(This Is Not) A Love Song’ Fairly self-explanatory: this was a response to PIL’s label asking for hits on their fourth album ‘This Is What You Want… This Is What You Get’.
- Beyoncé, ‘Sorry’ The narrative of the wronged woman on ‘Lemonade’ bursts into flame with ‘Sorry’ – it’s the ‘Fuck you’ part of the infidelity story. Bey’s line “I ain’t thinking ’bout you” is sort of paradoxical – she must be thinking about him a bit in order to say that she isn’t, and that means she’s not totally invulnerable – but the sentiment is there.

- Randy Newman: I Think It’s Going To Rain Today (1968) “The music is emotional – even beautiful – and the lyrics are not,” Randy Newman said in 2017 of I Think It’s Going To Rain Today.
