Love just hasn't been good to Mariah Carey lately. After calling it quits with her billionaire fiancé James Packer last year, MiMi fell head over heels for her backup dancer Bryan Tanaka. Unfortunately, that love story was short lived because the two have reportedly called it quits after five months of dating.

We all know breakups suck and you go through a million emotions as you say your final farewells to bae. So just in case some of you are going through a split, here are 12 Mariah Carey songs that will help get you through a heartbreak.

 “We Belong Together”

Oh, baby baby, we belong together.”

*Sighs*

It's perfectly fine to drink a whole bottle of wine and eat Oreos as you reflect on the good and bad times in your relationship.

Though it may seem like you won't find anyone else to lean on when times get tough or someone to stay up with you on the phone until the wee hours of the morning, trust us — you will!

 “Don't Forget About Us”

Doesn't it suck when your ex acts unbothered about the breakup? Puh-lease.

We know you're still thinking about all those late night talks in the car, those random dates and do we even need to mention the bedroom chronicles?

As Mimi stated, nothing compares to your first true love so don't forget about us!

“Heartbreaker (Remix)”

Heartbreaker, you got the best of me! It happens to the best of us. Sometimes we get played and just have to take that “L.”

Just don't make the same mistake twice. Leave the heartbreakers alone.

“Always Be My Baby”

Sometimes in relationships you just need some space.

It's perfectly fine to take a break from someone and reconnect when you're both able to commit and have a mature relationship.

No matter what, that person will always be your baby!

“Shake It Off”

So, after you've cried and talked your girlfriends' heads off, it's time to SHAKE IT OFF!

Listen, we're not stressing over scrubs (yes, I threw it back) anymore. Go get your hair and nails done, and move on to the next one.

“Up Out My Face”

Oh, you want me back? Up out my face, boy! It's 2017. We're not wasting our feelings and time over people (fuckboys) who don't give a damn about us.

“Obsessed" ft. Gucci Mane

Like, why are you so obsessed with me?

Most people have that one ex who wants to get back with them after they've glo'd up and moved on.

It's not happening. Block his number and block him on social media.

He should've been obsessed with you while y'all were in a relationship.

“I Don't”

When you love someone you just don't treat them bad!

Mariah definitely gave us a song we can bounce to on our way to the club as we look for a new significant other.

“Get Your Number" ft. Jermaine Dupri

The club is about to close, and you're looking hot. Make sure you get the number of the guy who was checking you out all night.

I get that you may be rusty when it comes to the dating scene. No worries. Just follow Mariah's lead in the video.

“Touch My Body”

After being sad and angry, it's time for the sex kitten to return.

Let's be honest, it would nice to have someone to touch your body.

Remember, though: Take your time, and do what's best for you.

“It's Like That”

Them chickens is ash, and I'm lotion.”

It's a celebration! Be stress-free, party, travel, eat cake, and have an amazing life because you are responsible for your happiness.

“Through The Rain”

Just know the rain doesn't last forever and you'll eventually get over the heartbreak. Your time will come, and you will find the perfect person for you.
