These 30 Best Fuck You songs are probably what you have been looking for all along. Those songs may get you screaming out or just make you resolute about moving on from a bad situation. It doesn’t really matter what anyone says, sometimes the best songs to listen to are the fuck you songs or even the go-to-hell songs. Just as defiant as they may be, these songs can be a source of strength in times of trouble or when things get rough.
Just as you will find blues when you are feeling in love or some rough rock or Eminem’s Lose Yourself, David Guetta’s Titanium, or Sia’s Bang your head when you need motivation, there is nothing that stops you from cranking up those headphones to listen to some fuck you songs when you are really feeling down or pissed.
The middle finger is not necessarily to an ex or someone that betrays you, but it may also be to a situation or for a moody situation. The good news is, music is the medication for the soul when it is down.
Here are 30 awesome ‘Fuck You’ songs in no particular order, for when you’re done and moving on from heartbreaks and aches or just when you’re tired of stuff happening and need a breather.
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.

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.
