Everyone loves a good love song, especially around Valentine's Day. But what about the anti-love songs? You know, the ones about cheaters, painful break-ups and despicable exes. Adele recently channeled her broken heart to break music industry records, while Lady Gaga has been cranking out tunes that are equal parts love and hate.

So if you're single this Valentine's Day, put on a playlist that reminds you of the perks of being on your own -- and the agony of unrequited (or simply dysfunctional) love. To get some ideas, check out this slideshow of our favorite anti-Valentine's Day anthems!

Released as the lead single from her album The Fame Monster, Lady Gaga's super-hit "Bad Romance" is a force to be reckoned with. Gaga's opening lines are "I want your ugly, I want your disease. I want your everything as long as it's free." The song captures the essence of a bad relationship -- and all the reasons people stay in them. Gaga will take the bad with the good, as long she can have her man.

"Best Thing I Never Had" by Beyonce is not necessarily a breakup song. It can be a song about a person that you used to feel deeply about not retuning those feelings and realizing what they missed out on. Also, it can be about a personal realization that they were never the best thing for you to begin with.

Bad Romance is my favorite passionate love song; it's not actually anti-Valentine's by the way. If you read about her descriptions or do the obvious and listen to the song, it's about being in love (and lust) with your best friend. Awesome song, great video, and incredibly passionate yet relatable subject!
