The Playlist runs the gamut from perky, 'Kiss Off' songs to heartfelt 'Missing You' tunes. The message is a little jumbled but the theme is clearly conveyed across the genres and the styles. I borrowed heavily from Lily Allen since breaking up seams to be her bailiwick and the rest just kinda came together. Losing You breaks the initial expectations of the playlist while setting up some of the later sad songs. Like the Desserts is a standby for any breakup list and Can't Sleep slides right in despite its Trance feel. Kiss You Off flips the mood and leads into Lily Allen's signature, 'screw you' breakup song. Heavy trance hit, In My Memory serves as the mellower for the Divine. Switch it back up for the Not Big, Since You've Been Gone and Single sequence that just scream “I will survive.” Cherry Lips is my personal theme song and I Move On fills the obligatory Showtune category. I love the remix of Smile to keep the feel-good vibe going while toning down the energy. Hide and Seek ties up the knots and leaves you refreshed and focused on the future.

You don't have to like it, but I do.

Muah!
