February's Day for Retail, High Expectations and Loneliness
No- Meghan Trainor I felt like this is the best song that explains that you don't need to be with a significant other to have fun and do stuff, especially like going out and dancing. Most of the time when a group of girls go out to the club to dance, there aren't interested in anything to do with guys. They're out trying to have fun with themselves and their friends. They don't get dressed up for dudes, they get all dressed up for themselves, to feel good and pretty. Most of my female friends or women I talk to, their biggest complaint about going dancing are the guys that try to come up and ruin their good time, and no matter how many times they say they're not interested, men are "relentless". This song is perfect for wanting to have fun and not seeking any sexual or intimate interest from or for anyone.

6 Songs to Justify Your Disdain for Valentines Day
Ah, Valentine’s Day—where the world’s supply of chocolate reaches its apex, red and pink greeting cards suddenly cost a month’s wages, and everywhere you turn there are heart-shaped balloons and inconceivable lineups anywhere that sell flowers.

27 Essential Songs for Your Anti-Valentine’s Day Playlist
Love. Love is the most potent drug to quit. Even when we are mistreated, we stay. Why is being in love so addicting? Dr. Stanton Peele Ph.D writes that love is more addictive than seven other drugs: cocaine, alcohol, valium, heroin, cigarettes, and even potato chips.

Can's Anti-Valentine Playlist
The creation of Valentine's day is a muddled, violent and brutal punishment of two gay lovers whom were executed by decree of Emperor Claudius II. While those that celebrate their love through notes, roses, and chocolate are blessed with (hopefully) finding their significant other- I and perhaps the rest of the world can celebrate through songs and the relief that the burden of making someone else happy is absolutely ridiculous when the only lover is ourselves (and the chocolate we can divulge in without the need of sharing). With this in mind, here is a list of one of my favorite anti-Valentine's Day songs in which to dance to, cry to, or even make love to in celebration of staying single and being yourself:

The Happiest Unhappy Day
For some, the happiest unhappy day of the year comes around the same day every year, Valentines' Day. For some, the typical over-played-love-sick-songs are perfect on a day advertised for love. Some are destined for greatness and love. Some not so much. For some love is a profusion of open space. For some, a narrow tightrope in need of careful navigation. Some are just looking for some ‘R-E-S-P-E-C-T’ as told by Aretha Franklin.

A Playlist for the Day That Must Not be Named
Love can be the worst thing to ever happen to you, and it can be the best. It can tear you open, leaving you bitter and hollow, but it can also make you feel on top of the world. It’s a high-risk, high-reward gamble. Personally, I’ve experienced both ends, which has left me feeling neutral about Valentine’s Day. I’m sort of a serial monogamist. It’s not by choice, well maybe a little, but I find myself falling for the bad boys way more than I should. It’s a problem. I know, but luckily, I’m a romantic at heart and continue to look for the right person no matter how bad past relationships may have been.
