Bettys, have you gotten into a fight with anyone recently? Have you had a misunderstanding? Have words been said and lines been drawn? Has it turned into a gigantic disaster? Well, now is the perfect time to fix it, because today is International Make-Up Day!
And no, we don't mean the kind of makeup you put on your face. International Make-Up Day is all about reconciliation and rebuilding relationships, so instead of singing an angry breakup song, why not extend an olive branch with one of these 9 tunes? Whether you're into classic rock, country, indie rock, or Top 40 hits, we've got a make-up song for you.
