Get ready for new music from Justin Bieber, Beliebers: the heartthrob tweeted hints at his upcoming single “Heartbreaker”, and the Internet went wild. But we couldn’t help but think… Justin Bieber has a pretty solid track record of stealing borrowing song titles, doesn’t he? “Somebody To Love” (originally by Queen), “As Long As You Love Me” (BSB, anybody?), and now “Heartbreaker”, which is a pretty common title to borrow. And that’s why we’ve curated the 10 best songs about breakin’ hearts on Spotify for you:

10. The Rolling Stones — Doo Doo Doo Doo (Heartbreaker)

“Heartbreakers with your forty-four / I wanna tear your world apart / You are a heartbreaker with your forty-four / I wanna tear your world apart”

“I heard she broke your heart again / I heard she broke your heart / Well, that girl’s a heartbreaker“

“I’m a heartbreaker, I’m a heartbreaker / I’m a heart, I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m a heart / I’m, I’m, I’m, I’m a…”

5. Pat Benatar — Heartbreaker

The late disco legend Sylvester’s life and career will be commemorated this month with the release of Mighty Real: Greatest Dance Hits, a collection of his most influential music, 25 years after his untimely passing. Sylvester — often deemed the “Queen of Disco” — is remembered fondly for his importance within both the disco and LGBT scenes as one of the first disco musicians to stand openly gay, making him an icon of the gay liberation movement.

Sylvester’s classic disco anthem “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real)” has a brand new lyric video and we’ve got the exclusive premiere, right here on MetroLyrics.  Dance along to the brand new video below and look for Mighty Real: Greatest Dance Hits on June 25th.

Welcome back to Liner Notes, MetroLyrics’ interview series featuring songwriters discussing their craft. In this episode, we’re sitting down with Steven McMorran, frontman and songwrtier for American alternative rock band Satellite. With his debut album Calling-Birds officially on the shelves, Steven McMorran is full of anecdotes about what inspires his songwriting. It’s rare you find someone this passionate about their lyrics. He describes penning one of the album’s defining songs, “Brooklyn,” stating that the tune started off from one of the only trees he’d ever seen in a backyard in Brooklyn, NY. He also states how important it is to be yourself, and tell the truth, like in the band’s song “Say The Words.” Watch the interview below to get to know more about the up-and-coming alt-rock group:

Phew! It’s hot out there! Do you know how to beat the heat this summer? If anybody knows how to handle the year’s warmest month, it’s country singer/songwriters, who are known to paint vivid pictures of country living in the sunshine with their lyrics. Which is why we’re turning to their words when it comes to staying fresh this summer season. So what are you waiting for? Check out these top 5 tips on how to handle beach season, thanks to some of country’s biggest stars:

Tip #1: Don’t forget the sunscreen

“She’s got headphones, got spring break / A swimsuit and Coppertone 8 / ‘Cause she’s working on a tan / She’s sitting in the sand / Chilling in a chair, flower in her hair” — Brad Paisley, “Working On A Tan”

A sunburn is NEVER in style, so grab that handy bottle of sunscreen and lather up, Brad Paisley style.

Tip #2: Grab a beverage

“Yeah, I’m sittin’ pretty in Suntan City / With a cold one in my hand / (Yeah!) / Sittin’ pretty, right here in Suntan City” — Luke Bryan, “Suntan City”

There’s nothing like a relaxing beverage on the beach to put your mind at ease. Luke Bryan knows a thing or two about this little trick in “Suntan City.”

Tip #3: Protect those peepers

“I wish you had on sunglasses to cover up those blue eyes / I wish you said something mean, maybe glad that you said goodbye…” — Jana Kramer, “Why Ya Wanna”

Jana Kramer’s wish? You were covering up your eyes with sunglasses, not only because they’re distracting, but because those SPF rays are scorching!

Tip #4: Throw on your cowboy hat

“From the hills of Kaycee, Wyoming / Where life’s wooly and wild / Came a navy brat in a cowboy hat / And that Copenhagen smile” — Garth Brooks, “Good Ride Cowboy”

Honestly, what better way is there to cool off in the hot summer sun than to dust off your trusty cowboy hat and pop it on your head? Take it from Garth Brooks.

Tip #5: Hit up the ol’ swimming hole

“Just a boy and his dog we were both full of fun / We grew up together that way / I remember the time at the old swimming hole…” — Johnny Cash, “Old Shep”

We don’t know what beats the heat better than going down to the ol’ swimming hole during the summer time. Johnny Cash knows where it’s at.

Grammy-award-winning group The Civil Wars took a break from their country/folk music back in 2012, but we have exciting news for fans of the Nashville duo: they’ve released a new single from an upcoming album and we have an exclusive first look at the lyrics! The song is called “The One That Got Away” and you can listen to it below. With a title like that, you might think the song is a tune about lost love, but in fact, it’s more of a lament about how they wish their lover was the one who got away.

The track is available now on iTunes.
