9 celebrity couples who have written break-up songs about each other

The Little Mix anthem was directed at ex-One Direction lad Zayn Malik, who Perrie was engaged to, before he apparently dumped her by text. Lines like 'hope she ain't fakin' it like she did, babe!' are thought to be directed at his current flame/supermodel Gigi Hadid. The plot thickens...

Who did singer-turned-IRL actor Justin Timberlake want to 'cry a river'? Apparently ex girlfriend Britney Spears! The pair broke up after it was rumoured Britney cheated on Justin with her choreographer, though this hasn't been confirmed.

Britters bites back! Her 2003 pop hit was thought to have been a response to Justin Timberlake's 'Cry Me a River'. Although it's supposedly aimed at her ex boyfriend, it could have been a lot more... er... scathing. Case in point? Lyrics like 'I guess I need you, baby'...

Miley wanted the world to know there were (only?!) SEVEN things she hated about ex boyfriend Nick Jonas, after they broke up after two years of dating. She even wears his Diabetes necklace in the music video... #art

Another Jonas brother who has felt the wrath of a cutting song lyric... T-Swizzle wrote 'Forever & Always' about Joe Jonas after he broke up with her during a '25 second phone call'. OUCH.

The very catchy 'I came in like a WRECKKKKING BALL!" was inspired by Liam Hemsworth, after they called off their engagement in 2014. The pair later kissed and made up and even got married in 2018, but this didn't last long as they announced their split again in September 2019.

Taylor named and shamed John Mayer after the pair dramatically split up when she was aged 19. In response, he told Rolling Stone 'it was a really, really lousy thing for her to do'.

After Katy Perry and Russell Brand broke off their marriage 2012, the popstar released ultimate break-up song 'Wide Awake'. Russell told the press, "She's a young woman dealing with the break-up of the relationship, which is understandable...It's a nice song." Lol.

Badass P!nk released the ultimate diss track 'So What' whilst separating husband Carey Hart. The pair are back together and have two adorable children together - Willow Sage and Jameson Moon Hart.
