On this edition of 5ive Songs, we select five songs that are totally and utterly HEARTLESS 🚫❤️ to the core.


On 5ive Songs, we (I) keep things short and sweet – no extra calories or needless fluff. There’s a topic, five songs, and a short blurb. Yes, it’s a playlist, but it’s a miniature playlist that shouldn’t take much time to consume. On this edition of 5ive Songs, we select five songs that are totally and utterly HEARTLESS 🚫❤️ to the core!
1. Morgan Wallen “Heartless”
💿 Dangerous: The Double Album • 🏷 Big Loud / Republic • 📅 2021
The chorus just screams crowd pleaser. Well, there’s probably a reason why that chorus is crowd-pleasing. The original version of “Heartless” appeared on the 2020 🎙 Diplo album, 💿 Diplo Presents Thomas Wesley Chapter 1: Snake Oil. In addition to Wallen guesting on that album’s penultimate track, 🎙 Julia Michaels also appears.
2. The Weeknd, “Heartless”
💿 After Hours • 🏷 Republic • 📅 2020
Besides those badass, cocky lyrics, The Weekend has an incredibly sleek backdrop to work with courtesy of 🎛 Metro Boomin and 🎛 Illangelo. The beat pummels while they synths are equally potent. Combine that with confident, distinct, and unapologetic vocals from Tesfaye, and “Heartless” is nothing short of a surefire bop.

3. Polo G, “Heartless”
Ft. Mustard
💿 THE GOAT • 🏷 Columbia • 📅 2020
Heartless as he may be – hard-nosed is a better choice of words – he spits with ease, and a degree of smoothness, over sleek, minor-key production courtesy of 🎛 Mustard.
4. Madison Beer, “HeartLess”
💿 As She Pleases • 🏷 Access • 📅 2018
Finally, her brand of heartless-ness is confirmed on the chorus: “I should use my heart… less.” Fittingly, “HeartLess” is set in a minor key, featuring sleek, moody production (in the style of urban pop) courtesy of 🎛 The Monsters & Strangerz and 🎛 German.
5. Kanye West, “Heartless”
💿 808s & Heartbreaks • 🏷 UMG Recordings, Inc. • 📅 2008
Nonetheless, he managed a couple of hits, led by the hella catchy 🎵 “Heartless.” The centerpiece, unsurprisingly, is the aforementioned chorus. Beyond that, the verses are pretty sweet, as is the minimalist production by himself and 🎛 No I.D. Even more than a decade later, this is an awesome record.
