I’ve been there, done that, got the t-shirt (and the trauma) \u2014 Anna Shoemaker<\/a>‘s new album Someone Should Stop Her <\/em>is (unfortunately) preaching to the heartbroken choir. Recorded in Nashville and followed by the once NYC-based singer-songwriter’s move to sunnier pastures in LA, Shoemaker’s latest album enlists alt-pop melodies to bring us along for the sometimes volatile, always heartfelt ride. Lucky for us, all things, including post-love despair, must come to an end \u2014 so, after releasing her album last week, Shoemaker is ready to walk us through a step-by-step, track-by-track guide to our very own \u201cpost-break-up glow-up” in her own words, below.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So you\u2019re going through a break-up. You may be questioning your decision (or their decision!) chances are it\u2019s probably the right one. Listen to \u201cHolly\u201d to remind yourself how terrible this person made you feel about yourself. If you still can\u2019t shake the feeling of wanting to get back together you could turn on \u201cWishful Thinking\u201d and yearn, but I wouldn\u2019t recommend it. It might lead to a glass of wine \u2026 or a bottle \u2026 in which case that\u2019s okay too! Drunk scream \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d in an Uber or into a karaoke mic with your best friends and you\u2019ll be so back. If you\u2019re experiencing scaries the next morning, promise yourself you\u2019ll never drink again and listen to \u201cFields\u201d while driving to get a large coffee. Then, sit in the parking lot drinking coffee listening to \u201cHorsegirl.\u201d Consider yourself healed<\/em><\/em>. <\/p>\n

Each track [below] represents a different stage of heartbreak \u2014 the highs, the lows, and the moments in between when you think you\u2019re fine but suddenly are not<\/em><\/em>. Here\u2019s where they all fit in:<\/p>\n

“Real Life”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

This is the screaming-crying-in-the-car-with-your-best-friend, \u201cI hate you, I love me\u201d song. Chaos. Rage. Liberation.<\/p>\n

“Fields”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The hungover \u201cI\u2019m never drinking again\u201d song. You\u2019re driving toward a better future, but first, you need a large coffee and a moment to stare out the window dramatically.<\/p>\n

“Game of Thrones”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Less about a relationship breakup, more about breaking up with the internet. For when you\u2019ve been scrolling TikTok for too long and need to remind yourself that comparison is a scam.<\/p>\n

“Not Your Baby”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Everyone gets one situationship song. This is mine. That confusing space where you\u2019re meeting someone new but still questioning everything you thought you knew about love.<\/p>\n

“Back Again”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The bargaining phase. The \u201cPlease take me back, I need you\u201d song. (Spoiler alert: You don\u2019t need him.)<\/p>\n

“Iced Coffee”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The moment when you start romanticizing every little thing about your ex. PSA: It\u2019s called a breakup because it\u2019s broken. This song is about the push-pull of moving on while still getting caught up in the nostalgia.<\/p>\n

“Gas Station Parking Lot”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

The realization hits: The end isn\u2019t near \u2026 it\u2019s here.<\/em><\/em><\/p>\n

“Close to the Sun”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

A song to scream-sing in the car. Sometimes, you girlboss too close to the sun, and that\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n

“Holly”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

One of my favorites. A reminder of how small someone can make you feel \u2014 and why you\u2019re better off without them.<\/p>\n

“Horse Girl”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

Let sad girl yearning time commence.<\/p>\n

“Miniskirt”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

This really represents the denial and relapse stage \u2014 that phase where you know things aren\u2019t working, but you keep going back, hoping it will be different.<\/p>\n

“Wishful Thinking”<\/h3>\n

<\/p>\n

For when you know getting back together is a bad idea, but you still kinda want to. Warning: This track may lead to a glass of wine \u2026 or a bottle.<\/p>\n
