Ranking of Sad Songs and Popular Tracks by Foreign Female Artists [2025]

Camila Cabello – Consequences (orchestra)

When you think of Camila Cabello, you probably picture her singing upbeat, Latin-flavored songs in a high, bright voice.

But “Consequences (Orchestra)” is crafted with a melody that’s the complete opposite of that image.

The lively tracks are great, of course, but I actually feel these quieter songs suit her surprisingly well.

The lyrics express the heartbreaking feelings of a woman who’s been cheated on.

Combined with the melody, it turns into an incredibly heartrending piece.

Fiona Apple – “Across The Universe”

There are countless artists and bands who cover songs by the Beatles, the greatest band in the world.

However, most of them fall far short of the originals, and you’d be much better off just listening to the source material.

Fiona Apple’s cover version, however, is truly outstanding.

FKA twigs – sad day (audio)

This is a track from the second album, MAGDALENE, released in 2019 by the uniquely individual British singer-songwriter FKA twigs, five years after her debut.

As the title suggests, it’s a song that evokes sadness, said to express the feeling of growing apart from a lover.

Throughout the album, she sings about various hardships and losses she experienced after her debut, and it captures her real self, who in fact also went through a breakup with her fiancé.
