Many can relate to lyrics like, “I just want a reason why it had to turn out this way,” capturing the struggle of not being able to accept the breakup.

There’s a male vocal part as well, but since the key is high, it’s likely easier for women to sing.

It’s very easy to sing, so try performing it in a cute style.
