30 Best ‘Fuck You’ Songs

1. Eamon – Fuck What I Said

Best For- This may just be the strongest of fuck you songs ever written. It is best for someone who has truly loved someone only to find out that all through you have been played. The lines may be very harsh, but they just reflect a broken man.

Lyrics:

See, I don’t know why I liked you so much
I gave you all, of my trust
I told you, I loved you, now that’s all down the drain
Ya put me through pain, I want to let you know how I feel

Fuck what I said it don’t mean shit now
Fuck the presents might as well throw em out
Fuck all those kisses, they didn’t mean jack
Fuck you, you hoe, I don’t want you back

2. Dua Lipa – IDGAF

Best For– This is the one for you when your ex who you are sure has not changed is still trying to find their way back and you want to be left alone.

Lyrics:

So I cut you off
I don’t need your love
‘Cause I already cried enough
I’ve been done
I’ve been movin’ on since we said goodbye
I cut you off
I don’t need your love
So you can try all you want
Your time is up, I’ll tell you why

3. Cee Lo Green- Fuck you

Best For- This is for someone who has been dumped for someone who is richer. When you got involved with a gold-digger who now finds a better place to dig.

Lyrics

I see you driving around town with the girl I love
And I’m like, “Fuck you” (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
I guess the change in my pocket wasn’t enough
I’m like: “fuck you,” and fuck her, too
Said if I was richer
I’d still be with ya
Hah, now ain’t that some shit?
And although there’s pain in my chest
I still wish you the best
With a fuck you (oh, ooh, oooh)

4. So What- P!nk

Best For- If you are defiant after a breakup, this may just serve as the right therapy for you.

Lyrics

So, so what? I’m still a rockstar
I got my rock moves and I don’t need you
And guess what? I’m havin’ more fun
And now that we’re done, I’m gonna show you tonight
I’m alright
I’m just fine and you’re a tool
So, so what? I am a rockstar
I got my rock moves and I don’t want you tonight

5. Lily Allen- Fuck You

Best For: This is probably the strongest fuck you song for anyone who has a lot of hate in his heart. This is a very defiant song that gives “plenty” middle fingers.

Fuck you (fuck you)
Fuck you very, very much
‘Cause your words don’t translate
And it’s getting quite late
So, please don’t stay in touch

6. Rihanna-Take a Bow

Best For- This song doesn’t just give the middle finger, it also does it with a lot of sarcasm. There only a few break-up songs when you have been cheated upon like this one.

Lyrics

Don’t tell me you’re sorry cause you’re not
Baby when I know you’re only sorry you got caught

But you put on quite a show
You really had me goin’
But now it’s time to go
Curtains finally closin’
That was quite a show
Very entertaining
But it’s over now
Go on and take a bow

7. Beyoncé Knowles- Sorry

Lyrics

He trying to roll me up, I ain’t picking up
Headed to the club, I ain’t thinking ’bout you
Me and my ladies sip my D’USSÉ cup
I don’t give a fuck, chucking my deuces up
Suck on my balls, pause, I had enough
I ain’t thinking ’bout you
I ain’t thinking ’bout

Middle fingers up, put them hands high
Wave it in his face, tell him, boy, bye
Tell him, boy, bye, middle fingers up
I ain’t thinking ’bout you

8. New Rules – Dua Lipa

Best For: If you are trying to get over someone who is only trying to get back to you to break you again, this may just be the song for you.

Lyrics

One: Don’t pick up the phone
You know he’s only callin’ ’cause he’s drunk and alone
Two: Don’t let him in
You’ll have to kick him out again
Three: Don’t be his friend
You know you’re gonna wake up in his bed in the morning
And if you’re under him, you ain’t gettin’ over him

9. Taylor Swift- Mean

Best For: Taylor Swift is one of the best when it comes to breakup songs and songs about relationships but this song is great for you when someone always tries to bring you down.

And all you’re ever gonna be is mean
Why you gotta be so mean?

Hope it gives you hell
Hope it gives you hell

Lyrics

Everybody knows that you’re just an asshole
Everywhere that you go
People wanna go home, everyone knows
Everybody knows, so don’t pretend to be nice
There’s no place you can hide
You are just an asshole
Everyone knows, everyone knows

14. G-Eazy – I Mean It

Best For: If you want to get entertained while still giving the middle finger, this has to be among your best fuck you songs.

Lyrics

I walk in, they all stare like “Who the fuck is this dude?”
Kicks game is just rude, don’t get jiu-jitsued
Tunnel visions how I get ahead, stayed solid I never fled
My haters feel like I’m better dead
But I’m quite alive getting bread instead
With a better girl, with a better face
I’m in a better place gettin’ better head
“I just wanna stay broke forever,”
Yeah that’s that shit no one ever said

Makes me work a little bit harder
It makes me that much wiser

Made me learn a little bit faster
Made my skin a little bit thicker
Makes me that much smarter
So thanks for making me a fighter

16. Carrie Underwood – Before He Cheats

Best For: When your partner (boyfriend) has a history of cheating incessantly then you catch him redhanded and decide to take revenge on him and ruin a couple of things he owns.

Lyrics

I dug my key into the side

Of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive  

Carved my name into his leather seats  

I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights

 I slashed a hole in all four tires

 Maybe next time he’ll think before he cheats.

17. Kelis – Caught Out There

Best For: Those times you’re tired of holding in the words and you just want to scream it out loud because you don’t care anymore.

So sick of your games, I’ll set your truck to flames
And watch it blow up, blow up, (ha – ha – ha) tell me
How you gonna see it now
So far from sincere (I love you)
Fabrications in my ear
Drive me so far up the wall
I come slidin’ down

But then I just smile
I go ahead and smile

Mama always told me that I should play nice
She didn’t know you when she gave me that advice
I’m through, with you
You’re one bridge I’d like to burn
Bottle up the ashes, smash the urn
I’m through with you, la ti da (la ti da)
I don’t wanna be your just for fun
Don’t wanna be under your thumb
All I wanna be is done, done

This hurts, I tell you so
For the last time you will kiss my lips
Now shut up and let me go
Your jeans were once so clean
I bet you changed your wardrobe since we met
Now oh so easily you’re over me
Gone is love
It’s you that ought to be holding me
I’m not containable
This time love is not sustainable

You must have me confused with some other guy
The bridges were burned
Now it’s your turn, to cry
