21 Songs When You Are Fighting With Your Boyfriend/Girlfriend
Fighting occurs in relationships at one point or another so if you are in a relationship don’t be surprised by this. The reasons why we all fight are vastly different. One thing that can help ease the pain of a broken soul is some music that blends well with your situation. Here are a couple of songs you can check out if you need something to listen to after a nasty fight.
1. Zedd, Maren – The Middle
This is the first collaboration between Zedd and Maren Morris after meeting in Nashville. The song is from the album Spring Party released in 2018.
The meaning of the chorus was tied to a couple that is having an argument and they just won’t just agree. One of them is trying to compromise and just meet in the middle so at least they can save the relationship.
2. NeYo – Mad
The track starts out with Ne-Yo and his girl engaging in an argument that leads to someone getting hit. We then see Ne-yo try to convince his lover that they are fighting without any thoughts as to why. He also acknowledges the fact that at times they will end up fighting but he just doesn’t want them to end the day without burying the hatchet.
Going to bed can also be used as a metaphor to make peace with your loved ones before their time runs out.
3. NeYo – When You Mad
The song is off the album In My Own Words which was released back in 2006. Lyrically, Ne-Yo tries to take out the seriousness in the fight during an argument with his lover. This is by showering her with compliments and acts of love when he notices that she is upset.
4. Billie Eilish – When The Party Is Over
This is the second single from the album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go released back in 2019. Here we see Billie putting some distance between her and her lover hence the song wasn’t written to be a sad son but one of an angry mood.
Billie stated that those who would relate to the song are those who have had someone on the phone yelling for some reason and at that moment you are like “leave me alone”. This is common among couples fighting.
5. The Chainsmokers – Kills You Slowly
It is a single from the album World War Joy which was released in 2019. It talks about a couple that is fighting and on the edge. They are trying to salvage what is left of a seemingly broken relationship.

The song is generally a song about the frustration of commitment.

It brings out broader relationship themes related to both verbal attacks and partners’ natural defense responses.

Taylor Swift came up with the song after an awkward encounter with her ex John Mayer at the 2010 CMT Music Awards. They both ended up ignoring each other’s presence and this made Taylor Swift feel like she was standing alone in a crowded room throughout the evening.
