If you’re single on Valentines Day, watching couples buy flowers while shops play soppy love songs can be hellishly boring. Luckily, there are some killer songs out there if you’re a Valentines rebel and are partying with your gal pals instead.

So What (Pink!)

If there was a live definition of “badass” it would be Pink! in her music video for “So What”. Even when we were in a relationship, this song wanted us to go rogue and be a single rock star.

(This Is Not) A Love Song (Public Image Limited)

Is it a love song? Is it not a love song? All we know is that Jonny Rotten makes us feel a lot less bitter on Valentines Day.

Love Is Pain (Joan Jett)

Just a friendly reminder from a rock ‘n’ roll legend about why being single saves a whole lot of heartache.

Blank Space (Taylor Swift)

Because you’re a nightmare dressed like a daydream.

Why’d You Only Call Me When You’re High? (Arctic Monkeys)

For all the 2000’s indie kids and to every drunken phone call to an ex we’ve ever made.

You Oughtta Know (Alanis Morissette)

Can you really be a member of the anti-Valentines club without busting out Alanis Morissette? The answer is no, Morissette is mandatory.

Thank U, Next (Ariana Grande)

When we’ve finished with Pink! and the anger stage, Ariana Grande’s hottest single is our anthem. The best thing about Valentines Day when you’re single is that it’s a time to look back on your past relationships and get ready to move on to the next.
