[2025] A roundup of classic and popular Western songs about jealousy

Giving MeJazzy

Jazzy – Giving Me (Official Visualiser)

Irish singer-songwriter Jazzy.

The track she released that has hit number one on numerous music charts is “Giving Me.” It’s a song with an EDM-like vibe.

The danceable sound and the simple structure that repeats the title phrase are addictive.

Also, pay attention to the longing for the other person expressed in the lyrics.

Its single-minded devotion is moving, and it feels like a song that could comfort you when you’re in a similar mood.

I’m Into YouJennifer Lopez ft. Lil Wayne

Jennifer Lopez – I’m Into You ft. Lil Wayne

As the title suggests, she passionately sings lyrics that say “I’m crazy about you” with her sultry, soaring voice.

It’s a song about a woman in mature love—not only fun to listen to, but the music video, featuring a sexy dance, is a must-see.

What Goes Around…Comes AroundJustin Timberlake

Not only is Justin involved in music, but he also acts and runs his own fashion brand.

With this song, he won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance at the 50th Grammy Awards.

There are various theories about the origins of the song, but the truth is unclear.

It’s a track that rather persistently voices resentment toward a lover who betrayed him.

“What you do will always come back to you someday.” Let’s be careful so we don’t end up proving that true.

Secret Love SongLittle Mix ft. Jason Derulo

Little Mix – Secret Love Song (Official Video) ft. Jason Derulo

Two people, each already with a partner, fall into a forbidden love.

From both the woman’s and the man’s perspectives, the song expresses their intense longing for each other.

Little Mix and Jason Derulo’s harmonies are perfectly in sync, and the music video—set against London’s breathtaking night skyline—is absolutely irresistible.

UnfaithfulRihanna

Rihanna – Unfaithful (Official Music Video)

For those looking for a slightly deranged breakup song, I recommend “Unfaithful.” The lyrics are basically an orthodox breakup song, but the chorus ends with the chilling line, “I don’t want to be a murderer.” It portrays the feelings of a woman who catches the person she loves with another woman—raw and terrifying, right? (lol) The melody is also heavy, matching the lyrics perfectly.

You Da OneRihanna

Rihanna – You Da One

It’s a love song that will appeal to people who like hip-hop and uptempo music.

It vividly captures the world of a girl who’s just fallen in love and can’t think about anything but him.

The music video is also made to be enjoyable both to watch and listen to.

Starry EyesThe Weeknd

The Weeknd – Starry Eyes (Audio)

Some of you may have gone through painful experiences and feel like you don’t want to fall in love anymore.

In that case, I’d like to recommend The Weeknd’s “Starry Eyes.” In the song, a man tells someone who’s been hurt by love that he will heal them.

Of course, it’s also fine to listen from the man’s perspective rather than the woman’s.

Either way, listening should ease your mind and help you feel more positive.

Also, pay attention to the emotionally charged scat singing.
