"It's All Coming Back To Me Now" is a "We're getting back together" song. Also categorized/added a few.


* {{Madonna}} - "The Power of Goodbye"



* Kelly Clarkson - "Already Gone" (not sure exactly which subfolder it belongs in)



* Jim Steinman - "It's All Coming Back To Me Now", ([[CoveredUp famously sung]] by Celine Dion).



* [[WeirdAlYankovic "Weird Al" Yankovic]] - "One More Minute". Oddly enough, this is a completely straight example, despite being a Weird Al song; he wrote it to help himself through an ''actual'' breakup.
** It's not completely straight, since it's set to the tune of a slow dance and the lyrics are turned UpToEleven. Weird Al also had "You Don't Love Me Anymore", which is definitely ''not'' a straight example.
** He also did "Since You've Been Gone", which starts out sounding like a straight depressing breakup song (albeit comparing his lovers absence to several outlandishly painful and masochistic acts). This being Weird Al, there's of course a twist at the end.



* Cher's "Believe" and "Strong Enough"

* The musical show [[TotalDramaIsland Total Drama World Tour]] has a song by the character Sierra called 'Oui, my Friends,' where she sings about a boy who she thought loved her, but she finds out he didn't love her at all, and proceeds to sing about how all boys are just out to get girls and use them. (Or as she puts it, 'Break your heart and chew it up and spit it out and step on it and throw it down a sewer, call it names, and then, laugh!')
