A major part of celebrity culture has long been celebrity couples, especially in cases of Romance on the Set, followed by the equally sensationalized celebrity breakup. It's become increasingly common, if one of those celebrities is a musician, for them to write a Break Up Song about it, since many songwriters write about their own lives. While earlier examples were less explicit about this (like from Carly Simon or Alanis Morissette), more recently this is almost expected from celebrities (cough Taylor Swift cough). These songs are almost always a Take That! to their ex, so expect accusations of adultery and proclamations of having moved on. In some cases, the songs can be more sorrowful, either by taking responsibility for the breakup or declaring they are Leaving You to Find Myself. If the celebrity being written about is also a songwriter, expect a clap-back Answer Song. This trope is when two famous people break up. To qualify, both people must be famous in their own right, not just the singer alone. Sub-Trope of Celebrity Song, Break-Up Song and Creator Breakdown. May overlap with Female Empowerment Song when written by a woman. Contrast with Romance on the Set. See also Celebrity Elegy. Word of God examples only: either confirmed by the artist or stated outright in the lyrics. |

Sinéad O'Connor stated that "Thank You For Hearing Me" was based on her breakup with Peter Gabriel, with whom she had an on-and-off relationship in the early '90s. According to O'Connor, she ended the relationship out of dissatisfaction towards Gabriel's lack of commitment (given that he had recently divorced his first wife and, per his own word, was undergoing therapy to deal with it). | |

Joshua Bassett's "Lie, Lie, Lie" is about his ex-girlfriend Olivia Rodrigo. Previously, Rodrigo released "driver's license" which is about her break-up with Bassett but it is less obvious. | |

Morissette is only one of several artists to write breakup songs about Coulier. He apparently made it a habit to date young artists and then walk away, leaving them to write bitter songs about him. Full House co-star Bob Saget allegedly advised him to stop dating young musicians, or everyone in America would have heard half a dozen songs about how shitty he was as a boyfriend. | |

Mercilessly parodied on Spitting Image, where Phil Collins' tendency to turn his marital woes into chart-topping singles was sent up in the piss-take song "I'm So Lonely". | |

"Romeo and Juliet" by Dire Straits, a song in which frontman Mark Knopfler recalls his failed romantic relationship with fellow musician Holly Vincent, after he found out about an interview in which she described her time with him in a very blunt and offhanded way. Hence the line "now you just say, 'oh, Romeo, yeah, you know I used to have a scene with him.'" | |
