Cheating songs in Western music. The world’s forbidden love and infidelity songs.

It Wasn’t MeShaggy

Shaggy – ‘It Wasn’t Me (Official Music Video)

“Crap, my girlfriend caught me.” “Whoa, you got busted?” “I’m screwed—what should I do?” “Easy.

Stand tall and declare it loud and clear: ‘That wasn’t me!’” Deny it even if you’re caught in the act.

Deny it even if you’re on camera.

When someone doubles down that hard, you move past anger and can’t help but be impressed.

Escape (The Pina Colada Song)Rupert Holmes

Escape (The Pina Colada Song)

Rupert Holmes’s classic “Escape (The Pina Colada Song).” It’s a piece marked by an upbeat rhythm and a tropical melody.

In fact, the contrast with that melody is striking—the lyrics are all about blatant cheating.

It portrays a man casually cheating with a “I’m so over my wife anyway” kind of vibe.

I think it’s a song that would seriously tick women off (lol).

If you’re curious, definitely give it a listen!

This song became instantly famous through Luther Ingram’s cover.

“This relationship might be wrong.

Maybe there’s no future for us.

But if loving you is a sin, then I don’t need to be pure.” It’s a soulful track that portrays two people who, despite the criticism around them, steel themselves to carry on their affair.

This is one of Dolly Parton’s signature songs, also famous for being covered by numerous artists.

She pleads with the beautiful, dazzling woman Jolene, saying, “Please don’t take him just because you can.” Many of us have probably felt at least a twinge of anxiety when a captivating rival is near our loved one.
