We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together is the album's most satisfying shout. No drama, no winning back — just 'fine, I'm tired.' The chorus repeats the line till it sounds like pumping herself up.

I love that 'so done, let's just end it' relief. How many people drag a breakup on? She sings it cheerful and final. It isn't classy, almost childish, but that 'I never want this again' lightness is something many adults never learn. You'll laugh, then feel: yeah, letting yourself off the hook is good.
