Ariana, Miley, Selena: Here’s How To Survive Those Break-Ups

All the single ladies, put your hands up!

Tuesday, April 21, 2015 - 17:24

Nothing sucks quite like a break-up, as we’re sure the newly single Ariana Grande, Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez will vouch. Heck, even Gwyneth Paltrow must be feeling it today, as she and Chris Martin have consciously filed for divorce.

Let’s also spare a thought for the boys; Big Sean, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Zedd and Chris are probably avoiding Instagram like the plague, for fear of seeing exactly what they’ve just lost.

So how to survive those early single days? These are our dos and don’ts…

DO: Get physical

Whether it’s dancing in da club to Beyoncé’s ‘Single Ladies’, taking your frustration out on a punch bag or running like the wind, never underestimate the power of endorphin-releasing exercise.

DON’T: Get too physical

Sex with your ex is rarely a good idea, no matter how nice Ariana's morning breath might smell.

DO: Try a new look

Your ex didn't like it when you wore dungarees? WEAR ALL THE DUNGAREES.

DON’T: Do anything too drastic

Maybe save the haircut for when you're feeling a bit more yourself?

DO: Indulge yourself

Mmm, bubble bath...

DON’T: Over indulge yourself

Ben & Jerry have a certain way of taking up residence on your body parts after a while, which will only make you feel worse in the long run. One whole tub per break-up is DEFINITELY allowed though.

DO: Take a vaycay

Vitamin D is good for your mood, right?

DON’T: Run away from your problems

They'll still be there when you get back.

DO: Binge watch your favourite TV shows

It'll give you something to talk about *other* than the break-up.

DON’T: Compare you and your ex to your favourite TV couples

You are NOT Chuck and Blair. Repeat: You are NOT Chuck and Blair.

DO: Have a social media clean-up

That profile picture of you two looking oh-so-happy? It's gotta go! Replace it with a smouldering solo shot, ASAP.

DON'T: Have a social media stalk

That photo of them with their new opposite (or same) sex friend is going to make you oh-so-paranoid.

But, above all else, JUST DO YOU HONEY!

All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies

Now put your hands up
Up in the club, we just broke up
I'm doing my own little thing
Decided to dip and now you wanna trip
Cause another brother noticed me

I'm up on him, he up on me
Don't pay him any attention
Just cried my tears, for three good years
Ya can't be mad at me

Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, o-ohh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, o-ohh
If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it

If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
I got gloss on my lips, a man on my hips
Got me tighter in my Dereon jeans
Acting up, drink in my cup

I can care less what you think
I need no permission, did I mention
Don't pay him any attention
Cause you had your turn and now you gonna learn

What it really feels like to miss me
Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

Oh, oh, oh
If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it

Oh, oh, oh
Don't treat me to the things of the world
I'm not that kind of girl

Your love is what I prefer, what I deserve
Here's a man that makes me then takes me
And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond
Pull me into your arms, say I'm the one you own
If you don't, you'll be alone

And like a ghost Ill be gone
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies, all the single ladies
All the single ladies
Now put your hands up, oh, oh, oh
Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh
If you liked it then you should have put a ring on it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Don't be mad once you see that he want it
If you liked it then you shoulda put a ring on it
Oh, oh, oh
