Yeah sure, there are plenty of upsides to dating a famous singer. You'll probably never have to queue for clubs, taxis or tables at Nandos ever again. You are invited to endless fancy-shmancy parties and get to rub shoulders with all sorts of people off the telly. When they sing a love song to 28302038 people at Wembley stadium, it would be exceptionally soothing for your self-esteem to know it's YOUR green eyes they're warbling about.

However, not all harmonies are harmonious...

Oh no. Once the high notes have simmered down and shimmying in gold hotpants has lost it's sparkle, things can turn very sour indeed. Their new album suddenly become an outlet to tell the world how much they are 'SO OVER YOU!' pal. You will hear their diss-track in every Starbucks until you're at least 85 years-old.

Here are 9 Celebrities who have penned break-up songs about each other...

1. Justin Timberlake - 'Cry Me A River'

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.
