6 Singers Who Wrote Songs on Heartbreak
4. John Mayer
John Mayer has been with loads of beautiful famous women and can easily be called the heartbreaker of the music industry. Among the many beauties he dated are Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, Jessica Simpson and Minka Kelly. But one blonde beauty who must have really affected him was Jennifer Aniston for he admitted to have written songs based on his feelings for her while he was dating and after the split. Most of his songs from the album ‘Battle Studies’, such as ‘Heartbreak Warfare’ are proof of this.
5. Jennifer Lopez
It seems there was strain in the marriage between Lopez and ex husband Marc Anthony from 2009 itself; two years before they actually split. Her latest song, ‘What Is Love? (Part II)’ was supposedly written and recorded in 2009 and is widely speculated to be a way of publicly bad-mouthing the estranged husband. With lyrics like “I had a ring on it/But I had to take it off/I wasn’t nearly getting the love that I deserve/All the cheating/All the lying/All the pain/All the crying/All the s*** that I ain’t buying,” it certainly seems that way.
6. Tom Odell
This 22 year old youngster who’s the new kid on the block was recently quoted staying, “Having your heart broken makes for good songs”. Already being regarded as a young Chesney Hawkes and Chris Martin II, he stated recently that he regretted putting the photo of his ex girlfriend on the sleeve of his album. His songs such as ‘Another Love’ and ‘Supposed to be’ have been based on his bitter experiences with love.
